Senior Robotics AI/ML Engineer – Edge AI Leader

Analog Devices; Limerick; On-site; EUR 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) is seeking a Principal Robotics AI/ML Engineer to lead the development of expert and generalist robot policies for edge AI systems. You will drive task policy design, data-driven benchmarking, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to scale research into production across sensing and control domains.

The role emphasizes leadership in robotics and AI, hands-on development, and mentoring engineers while shaping the roadmap for ADI's next generation of robotics solutions.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in robotics, computer vision, control theory or AI; with 3+ years in a technical leadership role.
• MS or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Demonstrated expertise in at least one of: Task and motion planning, Policy learning methods, Robot foundation models, Decision making under uncertainty, Multi-sensor fusion (camera, LiDAR, IMU, encoders), Robot control and integration.
• Proven track record of deploying algorithms in real-world systems.
• Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in frameworks like ROS, PyTorch or Tensorflow.
• Deep knowledge in robot locomotion, kinematics and dynamics.
• Comfortable with real-time systems, embedded platforms, or simulators such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, OpenAI Gym or Unreal Engine.
• Familiar with MLOps and software best practices: CI/CD, containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Excellent communicator and collaborator — capable of leading multi-disciplinary teams and influencing stakeholders across hardware, software, and business domains.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and deployment of expert and generalist policies that enable industrial targeted tasksets to be enacted.
• Drive the design of task policies using hierarchical planning, reinforcement learning, or hybrid methods.
• Develop real-world and simulation-based datasets for benchmarking and validation; guide sensor selection and system integration.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with embedded, hardware, and systems engineers to bring scalable solutions from research to production.
• Stay current with the state of the art in robotics, Edge AI, and self-supervised learning - and guide the team in adopting innovative technologies.
• Contribute to the broader AI platform architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and MLOps practices.
