Senior Principal SoC Architect – Robotics & Industrial Automation Location: Wilmington, MA Job Type: Full‑time, Regular Travel Required: Yes, up to 10%
About the Role Analog Devices is seeking a Senior Principal SoC Architect to lead the definition and development of next‑generation mixed‑signal System‑on‑Chip (SoC) platforms for robotics, industrial automation, motion control, and functional safety applications. This is a high‑impact role for a technically exceptional architect with deep expertise in digital systems, industrial motion control, Ethernet protocols, vision and analog/mixed‑signal integration.
Key Responsibilities
• Innovation & Strategy: Stay ahead of emerging trends in robotics, industrial connectivity, edge compute, and cybersecurity to guide long‑term roadmap architectural decisions.
• Architectural Leadership: Define and drive SoC architecture for industrial‑grade mixed‑signal ICs, integrating digital accelerators, real‑time control, and safety subsystems.
• Cybersecurity & Compliance: Embed hardware and software security features aligned with IEC 62443 and EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements; architect secure boot, trusted execution environments, and cryptographic accelerators.
• Federated Learning Enablement: Architect edge compute platforms capable of supporting federated learning for distributed sensing systems, enabling privacy‑preserving AI across industrial nodes.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with analog, motion control, firmware, and system/software teams to ensure cohesive system‑level design and integration, recommending partitioning trade‑offs to optimize constrained edge devices.
• Industrial Ethernet Expertise: Incorporate support for protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and upcoming TSN field protocols like OPC UA FX with standards‑compliant HW and secure communications stacks.
• Motion Control & Functional Safety: Architect real‑time control loops, motor control interfaces, and safety islands compliant with IEC 61508, SIL 2/3 and emerging safety standards in the industrial and robotics space.
• Digital System Design: Specify and model digital subsystems including processor cores, memory hierarchies, bus fabrics, and signal processing blocks.
• Customer Engagement: Collaborate with strategic customers and ecosystem partners to define requirements and validate architectural decisions.
Required Qualifications
MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
10+ years of experience in digital IC design and SoC architecture.
Proven track record in delivering complex SoCs.
Deep understanding of digital signal processing, control systems, industrial Ethernet protocols, functional safety architectures, embedded security, firmware design, analog‑digital partitioning, and RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
Proficiency in modeling (MATLAB, SystemC) and simulation.
Strong communication and documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with tactile sensing systems, haptics, or robotic feedback loops.
Experience with Vision Processing Units architecture.
Familiarity with motion control systems, servo drives, and robotics.
Familiarity with federated learning platforms (e.g., TensorFlow Federated, PySyft).
Experience with system‑level modeling and verification methodologies.
Exposure to high‑volume IC productization and manufacturing.
Experience with safety and cybersecurity certification processes and tools.
Why Join Us? This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of industrial automation and robotics through advanced SoC design. You’ll work with a passionate, multidisciplinary team on impactful technologies that bridge the physical and digital worlds. Our mission is to enable intelligent, safe, and connected industrial systems – and we’re looking for architects who share that vision.
