Analog Devices is seeking a PrincipalField Robotics System Engineer to operate at the intersection ofhands-on robotic system expertise, customer engagement, and platform enablement.
You will act as asystem-level domain expert in the field, supporting customers from early architecture discussions through proof-of-concept (PoC), evaluation, and system support and integration, accelerating adoption of ADI technologies in real-world robotic systems.
This is ahigh-impact, customer-facing role focused on:
- Scaling platform and solution engagements across robotics ecosystems (OEMs, disruptors, and partners), in collaboration with ADI BUs, Sales, Software, ADI Garage, Innovation Hubs, and AI teams.
- Co-creating with customers and demonstrating value proposition
- Providing domain expertise across robotic subsystems and platforms (motion, sensing, perception, control, power)
- Acceleratingcustomer decision cycles and drive design wins
This role supports priority segments including industrial robotics, humanoids, mobile robots, and service robotics, and is central to ADI’s strategy to move up the value stack—from components to subsystems and platforms.
Success in this role requires the ability to operateacross complex ecosystems, influence technical and business stakeholders, and translate platform capabilities intoworking PoCs that accelerate customer adoption. At its core, this role executes ADI’s platforms & solutions strategy in the field—driving near-term business impact while scaling repeatable system solutions and strengthening ADI position within key robotics ecosystems.
Responsibilities
- Build and integrateproof-of-concepts, demos, and reference systems that translate ADI platform capabilities intocompelling system-level demonstrations, clearly showcasing performance, scalability, and customer value
- Work hands-on withrobotic subsystems and platforms (motion, sensing, perception, control) aligned to real-world customer use cases
- Supportsystem bring-up, integration, and debugging across hardware, software, and control layers
- LeadADI Catalyst (collaboration hubs) engagements andcustomer co-creation activities; including workshops and boot camps
- Lead strategic platform engagements with robotics companies, disruptors, and ecosystem partners - from early concept through deployment
- Develop and apply deep expertise across key areas of technology includingmotion & actuation, multimodal sensing, real-time control, embedded compute / edge AI, and power systems, with considerations for functional safety
- Act as thetechnical bridge between customers, Sales, FAEs, and Business Units
- Provide guidance onsystem architecture trade-offs (system partition, performance, cost, power, scalability)
- Convert engagements intodesign wins and scalable opportunitiesacross accounts
- Represent ADI throughcustomer engagements, technical forums, and industry events
- Contribute toenablement andmentorship of FAEs and sales teams in system-level engagements
