Lead Engineer, Systems Applications – Power Solutions

Key Responsibilities

• Define end-to-end power architectures for priority applications, covering conversion, distribution, protection, isolation, sequencing, telemetry, efficiency, thermal performance, EMI/EMC, reliability, and control.
• Translate customer and market requirements into solution proposals, power trees, reference architectures, evaluation plans, trade-off analyses, and product feedback.
• Support architecture and application reviews for strategic opportunities, ensuring proposed solutions are practical, differentiated, manufacturable, supportable, and aligned with ADI’s portfolio direction.
• Partner with product, systems, applications, marketing, business development, sales, field teams, and customers to identify requirements, resolve technical questions, and position ADI power solutions.
• Create reusable technical collateral, including design guides, simulations, evaluation concepts, reference design inputs, training material, and customer presentations.
• Capture insights from customer engagements, evaluations, competitive activity, and design-in support to inform product planning, solution strategy, and field enablement.
• Communicate technical findings, trade-offs, and application impact through documentation, reviews, workshops, and presentations.

Qualifications And Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field required; Master’s degree, PhD, or equivalent advanced experience in power electronics, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or a related discipline preferred.
• Strong understanding of power conversion, distribution, protection, isolation, thermal trade-offs, transient response, EMI/EMC, reliability, safety, and system design constraints is mandatory.
• 7+ years of relevant experience defining or influencing system-level power requirements, preferably in areas such as drones, robotics, phased-array radar, satellite communications, or related advanced platforms.
• Background as a systems architect, power designer, or lead systems designer, with the ability to move confidently between detailed design discussions and high-level system trade-offs.
• Experience with low-voltage, high-current power applications in mixed-signal systems is highly valuable.
• Strong communication skills and customer presence, with willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed.
• Hands-on familiarity with lab tools such as oscilloscopes, electronic loads, spectrum or network analyzers, and associated software such as Python or LabVIEW.
