Embedded Executive Podcast

Digital transformation, particularly in industrial equipment, has the ability to change the landscape of design. 
Really? Do you even know what digital transformation is? 
It’s a term that Doug Cougle, the SVP of Operations and Business Development at NTX Embedded, used in a recent conversation. He said it with such conviction that I thought, “Maybe this is something I should learn more about.” I did, and I think you should as well, which is why I invited Doug to be a guest on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Embedded Computing Design Editor, Ken Briodagh, talks with Bartek Kling, CEO of needcode, at embedded world 2026.

Rich Nass interviews Julien Battiston with NXP at embedded world 2026 in Nuremberg.

End devices are shipping with the AI box checked. In other words, OEMs are saying that their products are AI-enabled. But are they really, or is this just marketing spin? 
The first response is that it depends on how you define AI. The second is that some of the features being implemented really are doing so with AI, but there might be other (simpler?) ways to handle the same functions. 
To make this clearer, I spoke to Steve Tateosian, the Senior VP and GM for IoT, Consumer, and Industrial MCUs for Infineon Technologies, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Ken Briodagh of Embedded Computing Design interviews PQ Shield about post-quantum computing on the Embedded Executive podcast LIVE at embedded world 2026.
