Principal Engineer, Power Architecture

About the role

This Principal Engineer, Power Architecture role is a rare opportunity for an experienced hardware, systems, or power architect to shape next-generation systems across high-impact applications. Working at the intersection of customer needs, system innovation, and advanced power technology, you will help define differentiated power solutions that unlock better performance at the full-system level. We are looking for someone who thinks beyond individual components, understands the system architecture, anticipates the power challenges, and translates those needs into high-value solution concepts.

Responsibilities

• Apply your system-level perspective to connect power architecture choices with overall system performance, including size, efficiency, noise and signal-chain impact.
• Evaluate trade-offs across different power architectures and recommend differentiated approaches that solve customer problems.
• Influence future ADI products by helping define new power features, topology, and performance requirements based on market and customer needs.
• Create high-value technical collateral, including system-level reference designs and application-focused technical material that support strategic growth areas.
• Build trusted relationships across customers, field teams, and internal design groups to help deliver complete power system solutions.
• Bring strong technical credibility backed by an MSEE or equivalent experience.

Requirements

• A minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience defining or influencing system-level power requirements in areas such as drones, robotics, phased array radar, satellite communications, or related advanced platforms.
• A 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, customer presence, and willingness to travel 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 is beneficial.
