About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Software Engineer to join the CodeFusion Studio tools team, focused on developing bespoke configuration tools and data models for embedded devices. In this role, you will build and evolve cutting-edge development tooling for today’s complex heterogeneous embedded devices. You will work closely with embedded, tools, and product teams to deliver high‐quality tooling that enables customers to configure, generate, and validate their embedded applications with confidence. This role is ideal for an autonomous engineer who enjoys owning features end‐to‐end, mentoring others, and shipping robust tools on predictable schedules.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop configuration tools and workflows within CodeFusion Studio.
• Create and maintain clear, extensible data models that represent hardware capabilities, constraints, and configuration states.
• Implement tooling using TypeScript (VS Code extensions, CLI tools, services) and Python (automation, validation, generators).
• Collaborate closely with embedded engineers to ensure configuration outputs align with firmware, SDK, and hardware expectations.
• Translate product and hardware requirements into robust, maintainable tooling implementations.
• Own delivery of key features, driving tasks to completion with minimal supervision.
• Technical decision-making, guiding implementation choices, reviewing designs and code, and supporting timely delivery within a small team.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of tooling quality, test coverage, and developer experience.

Required Skills and Experience

Core Technical Skills

• Good understanding of embedded software development concepts, including toolchains, SDKs, and hardware constraints.
• Comfortable working across tooling layers that connect software configuration to embedded targets via structured data representations.
• Strong experience with TypeScript, particularly in Node.js‐based tools, CLIs, or IDE extensions.
• Solid Python experience for scripting, automation, validation, and data processing.

Software Engineering Practices

• Proven ability to design clean, maintainable, and testable software.
• Experience working in shared codebases using Git and collaborative workflows.
• Understanding of CI/CD concepts and automated testing.
• Ability to debug and reason across tooling and embedded system boundaries.
• Ability to navigate and understand technical documentation.

Leadership & Collaboration Expectations

• Confidently provide technical mentorship for feature delivery within a small group of engineers, helping to coordinate implementation and resolve blocking issues.
• Provide technical guidance and constructive code reviews to peers and junior engineers.
• Communicate clearly with cross‐functional stakeholders (embedded, product, QA) to ensure alignment and predictable delivery.
• Take ownership for outcomes, timelines, and quality of assigned features.

Desirable Experience

• Experience developing VS Code extensions or developer tooling.
• Familiarity with embedded DSP, microcontrollers or audio platforms.
• Exposure to system configuration tools, hardware description data, or schema‐driven tooling.
• Prior experience with Integrated Development Environments such as VS Code and Eclipse.
• Experience with RTOS, middleware and device drivers, particularly Zephyr.
• Build tooling that directly shapes how developers configure and ship real embedded products.
• Work at the intersection of modern software tooling and advanced embedded hardware.
• Own meaningful features and see them delivered to customers.
• Join a collaborative, engineering‐driven team with a strong emphasis on quality and long‐term maintainability.
• Contribute to the continued evolution of CodeFusion Studio as ADI’s flagship development platform.
