Overview
Staff Robotic System Engineer (San Jose)
Analog Devices (ADI) is launching an exciting new initiative
the Emerging Tech Hub
a physical space where customers, partners, and academic collaborators can rapidly prototype solutions tailored to their unique challenges. We are seeking an experienced Robotic Software Engineer to develop robotic software framework for core AI innovations in the robotic space. This role will focus on the system-level architecture, PCB-level implementation, and hardware integration of robotic platforms, sensors, and control systems. You will work closely with customers, software engineers, AI researchers, and cross-functional teams to bring high-performance robotic solutions from concept to functional prototypes. Responsibilities include: Lead the design and rapid prototyping of system-level architectures for next-generation robotic platforms with novel sensors, actuators, and control.
Design and develop custom PCB assemblies.
Evaluate subsystems, components, materials, and processes.
Select and integrate critical hardware components (e.g., processors, sensors, actuators) to meet performance, cost, and reliability targets.
Validate and calibrate hardware for performance and integrity.
Identify and troubleshoot system-level issues related to electrical, mechanical, and thermal performance.
Rapid iteration based on test results, performance metrics, and user feedback.
Collaborate with mechanical, software, and AI teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software components.
Work closely with software and AI engineers to develop hardware systems for advanced AI algorithms and real-time control.
Prepare technical documentation, including schematics, assembly instructions, and design reviews.
Stay current with the latest advancements in robotics hardware, sensors, and AI-driven control architectures.
Qualifications: Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
5+ years of full-time experience in system design, integration, electro-mechanical systems, particularly in robotics.
Proficiency in PCB design tools, such as Cadence Allegro, and hardware design methodologies.
Strong programming skills in C++ and Python, and familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Familiarity with robotic systems (sensors and actuators), system integration, and robotic software such as ROS2.
Experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
Excellent problem-solving abilities, a proactive approach to cross-disciplinary challenges, and collaborative working style in fast-paced, innovative environment.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex hardware concepts to non-hardware audiences.
Preferred: familiarity with robotic control systems, kinematics, and motion planning. Applied AI and machine learning.
Job Req Type: Experienced Required Travel: Yes, 10% of the time Shift Type: 1st Shift/Days The expected wage range for a new hire into this position is $191,820 to $263,753. Actual wage offered may vary depending on work location, experience, education, training, external market data, internal pay equity, or other bona fide factors. This position qualifies for a discretionary performance-based bonus which is based on personal and company factors. This position includes medical, vision and dental coverage, 401k, paid vacation, holidays, and sick time, and other benefits.
