RADAR/EW Systems Architect (Remote)

Responsibilities:

• Provide RADAR/EW technical expertise for sensor systems in terms of RADAR/EW, system architecture, and applications, to sales teams calling on RADAR/EW customers
• Work closely with Xilinx engineering and operations to define and specify future Xilinx RADAR/EW products and manage rollout
• Identify and characterize, thorough technical analysis, specific Xilinx value propositions that can positively differentiate Xilinx products from other (e.g. ASSP, FPGA, ASIC) products in the target RADAR/EW segments. Work collaboratively with sales and marketing to communicate and exploit identified value propositions.
• Prioritize and guide strategic A&D RADAR/EW segment partners through the definition and development of targeted products and solutions (RADAR/EW devices, IP, Software, Reference Designs, and Targeted Design Platforms) aligned with customer and market challenges that will enhance the overall value proposition of Xilinx products and increase Xilinx product penetration over ASSP, FPGA, ASIC, DSP, and SOC alternatives.
• Monitor and manage progress at partners where RADAR/EW solutions funding is invested to subsidize development toward RADAR/EW customer’s needs and goals.
• Develop and maintain key technical relationships with strategic RADAR/EW customers to complement existing or developing sales and marketing relationships. Leverage these relationships to identify customer challenges, needs and be able to influence customer architectures and roadmaps in favor of Xilinx.
• Develop and communicate RADAR/EW market requirements relevant to future Xilinx products, specifically for mixed signal applications, like the RFSoC.
• Provide insight on the RADAR/EW market and customer trends, needs, challenges, and segmentation.
• Provide RADAR/EW strategic input into the A&D business plan and demonstrate ability to work effectively across internal and external organizations and lead through influence
