** Principal Embedded Software Architect - HW/SW Co-Design
** We are looking for a Principal Embedded Software Architect to help bridge the gap between silicon and software. In this role, you won’t just write code; you’ll help define how our next-generation IP and SoC products are built.

Your mission is to participate in improving our development lifecycle. Championing HW/SW co-design, you will help standardize how we encode and access architectural design decisions, enabling us to quickly bring up early Virtual Platforms or generate other collateral from standardized design data. You will enable our SoC architecture, software, DV, and test teams to shift-left – starting development together months before physical silicon exists.

You will be the technical pivot point that shortens iteration loops based on changes to design data, enabling teams to build robust tooling on top of standardized design data, and helping to ensure early-stage error detection as IP or SoC designs change.
** Key Responsibilities**
* ** Tooling Framework for ADI’s “Architectural Single Source of Truth”**  + Architect and implement robust APIs to manage the "Single Source of Truth" for IP/SoC metadata, including memory/register maps, interrupt hierarchies, clocking, and power domains.  + Develop high-performance tooling and APIs (Python-based initially) for automated design data capture and extraction, ensuring seamless synchronization between the architecture database and downstream engineering tools.  

+ Work with domain experts to ensure that the right information is being captured in the “single source of truth”, and that we provide programmatic access to that data effectively, whether to create or edit data, or to extract information from existing datasets.
* ** Promote Data Integration with LLM Agents**  + Work with relevant teams to integrate this single source of truth for design data with LLM Agents using Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and specialized APIs to automate complex design tasks using captured design data.  + Lead the transition from static tooling to agentic workflows, enabling LLMs to interactively query, validate, and manipulate SoC architectural data.

Provide API access or tooling that enables us to bridge LLMs and underlying design data where bottlenecks are identified.
* ** Facilitate*
* ** Adoption and Rapid-Iteration of Virtual Platforms for Earlier HW/SW Development**  + Collaborate closely with project teams: IP and SoC architects, ASIC design, DV, SW developers and SW test to create tools that will help on the usage of virtual platforms  + Ensure that any changes made to the underlying design data are easily propagated to the virtual platforms, enabling us to update virtual platforms to reflect those changes in hours not days or weeks.  

+ Be proactive identifying and anticipating needs to facilitate the adoption of virtual platforms by project teams  + Have a generalist view of the needs across projects/disciplines to leverage tools across ADI
** Required Qualifications and Skills
*** Familiarity with the end-to-end SoC design process (from architecture to tape-out)
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
* 10+ years of hands-on experience in embedded software development, particularly in C/C++, assembly, and low-level driver/firmware development for complex…
