Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

I recently spent some time with Synaptics’ new CEO, Rahul Patel. It was at the company’s Tech Day event held in its San Jose headquarters. Rahul arrived at Synaptics after spending more than a decade at both Qualcomm and Broadcom, so he is no stranger to the semiconductor space. And that’s a good thing, because he joined at a time when the company was already in the midst of a transformation, attempting to become a major player in the Edge AI semiconductor space.
