Ep. 4 |The Future Is Coding: Experts from iRobot and STMicroelectronics

Author: All About Circuits June 25, 2020 Duration: 43:44

Welcome to the age of coding. Hardware design has changed a lot in recent years, in no small part because electrical engineers are required to take part in more and more firmware and software design.

In this episode of Moore's Lobby, host Dave Finch talks to two engineers with storied careers about how the engineers at their two mega-companies rely on coding skills to make the best products possible. 

First, you'll hear Tim Saeger—Executive Vice President and Chief R&D Officer at iRobot—explain the importance of software development in robotics applications.

Then you'll dive into the details with Sean Newton—Microcontroller Applications Manager, Americas at STMicroelectronics—as he and Dave talk shop about the use of control algorithms for MCUs and motor control applications.


In the world of electronics, the real story is often found in the people who design, innovate, and push the boundaries of what's possible. Moore's Lobby: Where engineers talk all about circuits is a monthly podcast that goes beyond datasheets and schematics to explore the human element driving technological progress. Host Daniel Bogdanoff sits down with a diverse range of guests-from hands-on engineers and visionary technologists to the executives steering major organizations-for conversations that are as much about personal journey as technical achievement. Each episode delves into the practical engineering and the broader industry trends shaping our future, but always through the lens of the individual's experience. You'll hear firsthand accounts of breakthrough moments, the challenges of bringing complex ideas to life, and the philosophies that guide leaders in this demanding field. This podcast from All About Circuits connects a global community of professionals who share a deep curiosity for how things work and who makes them work. It’s a space for nuanced discussion that aims to inform, inspire, and provide genuine insight into the circuit-driven world we inhabit. The dialogue here is for those who appreciate the substance behind the innovation, offering a blend of technical depth and narrative that you can naturally integrate into your own perspective.
