Staff Engineer, Systems Applications - Power Solutions

Analog Devices is seeking a Staff Engineer, Systems Applications to join the Power Solutions group and support ADI's transition from component-level power selling to system-level power solution development across strategic Industrial growth applications.

The Power Solutions group works across product lines, systems engineering, applications, marketing, field teams, and customers to define scalable power architectures, reference solutions, and platform strategies for high-growth domains including robotics, industrial automation, instrumentation, test, energy infrastructure, and other intelligent edge systems.

The successful candidate will work as a power systems applications engineer, translating customer application requirements into practical power trees, solution concepts, evaluation plans, reference design inputs, and product feedback. This role requires strong technical capability in power electronics and system-level design, the ability to engage effectively with customers and field teams, and the judgement to connect application requirements to ADI portfolio solutions, design-in activity, and customer success. The candidate will operate as an individual contributor, working under guidance from senior architects and technical leaders while taking ownership of defined applications, customer engagements, technical deliverables, and cross-functional execution tasks.

JOB SCOPE

• Industry focus: Power architectures for Industrial growth applications including robotics, industrial automation, instrumentation, test and measurement, energy infrastructure, and intelligent edge systems.
• Territory focus: Worldwide, with direct engagement across strategic customers, field teams, product lines, and ecosystem partners.
• Functionality: Support, develop, and validate system-level power solutions that convert customer problems into ADI reference designs, application collateral, product feedback, and business opportunities.

PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and support practical system-level power architectures for priority industrial applications, including conversion, distribution, protection, isolation, sequencing, telemetry, thermal, EMI/EMC, reliability, and control considerations.
• Translate customer requirements into power trees, solution concepts, trade-off analyses, evaluation plans, reference design inputs, and actionable product feedback.
• Apply strong knowledge of switch-mode power conversion topologies, modelling, control techniques, magnetics, filter design, and EMI mitigation to define credible and optimised solutions.
• Use simulation and modelling tools such as SPICE, Mathcad, MATLAB, or equivalent platforms to analyse power-stage behaviour, control-loop performance, transient response, thermal limits, and design trade-offs.
