Staff Product Development Engineer

About The Role

At Analog Devices, you will hold a pivotal role shaping the technical direction and execution of advanced electronic systems and semiconductor technologies. You will be entrusted with guiding engineering efforts, orchestrating cross-functional alignment, and setting the technical vision for complex product initiatives. This position carries broad responsibility for elevating engineering performance, directing strategic decisions, and ensuring teams deliver high-impact, production-ready solutions. You will be a central figure in solving challenging system-level problems and supporting the growth and effectiveness of the engineering organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide overarching technical direction for the evaluation and characterization of RF systems, ADCs, DACs, and high-speed serial interfaces for next-generation transceivers.
• Oversee complex debug and analysis activities across mixed-signal and RF systems; synthesize findings into clear recommendations that influence design, validation, and product decisions.
• Shape and drive verification efforts across digital, DSP, and analog feature areas, ensuring comprehensive and efficient validation coverage.
• Establish methodology and strategic test approaches for RF measurements—including linearity, noise figure, EVM, and related performance metrics—on advanced radio platforms.
• Architect and implement automated test infrastructures using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, and associated toolchains to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability.
• Recommend and influence test strategies, equipment selection, and lab capabilities to advance operational performance and support future platform evolution.
• Collaborate with design, test, applications, software, and marketing teams to ensure alignment throughout the product lifecycle.
• Collaborate with applications/marketing teams and customers to resolve complex product issues and drive successful deployment in real-world environments.
• Analyze, interpret, and present measurement data to large technical groups, shaping decisions and enabling informed product direction.
• Support the development of junior engineers through guidance, technical direction, and knowledge sharing that strengthens team capability and execution.

Minimum Qualifications

• BSEE degree, MSEE degree preferred
• 10+ years of relevant engineering experience
• Demonstrated ability to guide and elevate a group of junior engineers through the verification and release of complex wireless solutions, ensuring strong execution, technical alignment, and high-quality deliverables
• Successful track record bringing complex wireless platforms from concept through market release
• Extensive experience automating RF test flows and using advanced lab instrumentation (network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes)
• Strong understanding of RF fundamentals: linearity (1-tone, 2-tone), noise figure, S-parameters, spurious analysis, phase noise, and related concepts
• Deep proficiency in analog and RF circuits, high-speed serial interfaces, ADCs/DACs, and mixed-signal system behavior
• Knowledge of DSP principles including FFTs, sampling theory, and digital filters
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving strengths
• Excellent communication skills—capable of delivering clear, concise, and actionable technical insights
• Highly effective collaborator within diverse, multi-disciplinary engineering environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency with LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, or C/C++/C#
• Experience partnering with firmware teams on defining and validating complex DSP algorithms
