It is an opportunity to work at the intersection of silicon, embedded computing, software, power, sensing, communications, security, and large-scale infrastructure.\nYou will partner with analog, digital, firmware, software, systems, applications, and product teams to turn complex customer problems into scalable product architectures. You will influence products from their earliest architectural decisions through implementation and deployment.\nWe are looking for an engineer who is curious by nature, passionate about engineering across disciplines, and energized by problems that don't fit neatly within one technical domain.\nYou should expect to be challenged. You should expect to challenge others. And you should have the technical credibility and leadership skills to inspire teams to accomplish things that initially appear difficult.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDefine System Architecture\nRecognize unseen relationships between industry needs and ADI capabilities to seed innovative solutions.\nDefine system architectures spanning platforms, silicon, hardware, embedded compute, software, communications, sensing, control, and security.\nTranslate customer and system requirements into clear architectural requirements, partitioning, interfaces, and implementation choices.\nDrive architectural decisions early in product development, when those decisions have the greatest impact on capability, schedule, cost, reuse, and differentiation.\nEstablish architectures that can scale across products and product generations without compromising the needs of individual applications.\nTurn Architecture into Products\nArchitecture is valuable only when it produces results.\nYou will:\nConvert ambiguous customer and system problems into concrete technical architectures.\nDetermine where functions should reside within the system, making deliberate tradeoffs among silicon, hardware, firmware, software, communications, and control.\nIdentify technical risks and critical dependencies early and use analysis, modeling, experimentation, and prototypes to resolve them.\nApply sound business judgment to architectural decisions, balancing innovation and differentiation with schedule, cost, risk, and customer value.\nDrive decisions to closure and take ownership for results.\nProvide technical leadership across teams, challenge assumptions constructively, mentor engineers, and build alignment around critical architectural decisions.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nBroad Technical Capability\nThe successful candidate will bring significant engineering depth together with demonstrated capability across multiple technical disciplines.\nRelevant experience may include:\nAnalog and mixed-signal systems\nPower conversion, power management, and control\nDigital systems and hardware architecture\nMicrocontrollers, SoCs, and embedded compute\nEmbedded firmware and real-time systems\nSoftware and system architecture\nCommunications protocols and system interfaces\nSensing, measurement, and telemetry\nControl algorithms and signal processing\nReliability, diagnostics, and fault management\nEmbedded and system security\nA successful Systems Architect must be able to move comfortably among disciplines, understand their languages and constraints, recognize where decisions in one domain affect another, and engage specialists deeply enough to reach sound system-level conclusions.\nWhy This Role Matters\nData-center infrastructure is entering a period of significant architectural change.\nAs a Principal Systems Architect, you will work where multiple technologies converge, help make architectural decisions that shape future products, and work alongside engineers across disciplines to turn those decisions into real systems.\nIf you are passionate about complex systems, willing to venture outside the boundaries of your own expertise, and motivated by turning difficult customer problems into successful solutions, we want to hear from you.\nFor positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the U.S. Department of State - Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. As such, applicants for this position - except US Citizens, US Permanent Residents, and protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) - may have to go through an export licensing review process.\nAnalog Devices is an equal opportunity employer.

gender identity, gender expression, marital status, pregnancy, parental status, disability, medical condition, genetic information, military or veteran status, union membership, and political affiliation, or any other legally protected group.\nEEO is the Law: Notice of Applicant Rights Under the Law.\nJob Req Type: ExperiencedRequired Travel: Yes, 10% of the timeShift Type: 1st Shift/DaysThe expected wage range for a new hire into this position is $180,642 to $261,579.Actual wage offered may vary depending on work location, experience, education, training, external market data, internal payequity, or other bona fide factors.\n\nThis position qualifies for a discretionary performance-based bonus which is based on personal and company factors.\n\nThis position includes medical, vision and dental coverage, 401k, paid vacation, holidays, and sick time, and other benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6457,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k
