Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) is a global semiconductor leader that bridges the physical and digital worlds to enable breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge. ADI combines analog, digital, and software technologies into solutions that help drive advancements in digitized factories, mobility, and digital healthcare, combat climate change, and reliably connect humans and the world. With revenue of more than $12 billion in FY22 and approximately 25,000 people globally working alongside 125,000 global customers, ADI ensures today’s innovators stay Ahead of What’s Possible.

The Analog Garage is ADI’s Research and Advanced Development Center in downtown Boston and empowers ADI by pioneering breakthrough technologies. The Deep Tech Architecture group within the Analog Garage is applying leading-edge circuit design, device design, and nano-scale fabrication technologies to develop innovative solutions to big societal problems.

The Deep Tech Architecture group is seeking a motivated, experienced Principal Photonics Systems Architect to join our team developing semiconductor solutions for big challenges in health of human, health of planet, and other strategic focus areas for ADI. The ideal candidate will architect photonics systems and will lead development across one or more inter-related domains of expertise, including but not limited to photonic integrated circuits, integrated quantum photonics, silicon photonics process development, optical interconnects, and advanced photonics assembly and packaging.

As a core member of our team, Principal Photonics Systems Architect will be involved in building a portfolio of Analog Garage internal ventures and will closely collaborate with Platforms & Systems Group of Analog Garage, Algorithmic Solutions Group of Analog Garage, Emerging Business and Applications Group of CTO office, Advanced Technology Group of CTO office, and senior technologists from across ADI business units.

Responsibilities include one or more of the following:

• Initiating and leading the earliest stage of Analog Garage venture funnel called “domain study”, with the goal to understand the landscape, identify key challenges and opportunities shaping the domain, asses current state of the art, and generate “what if” hypotheses for domain disruption based on emerging trends.
• Developing new photonics systems architectures for Analog Garage programs which require solutions connecting the physical and digital worlds (e.g., sensors, actuators, etc.), leveraging one or more semiconductor technologies including but not limited to CMOS ASIC, MEMS, More-than-Moore micro-/nano- fabrication, and advanced packaging.
• Championing an Analog Garage program - building and leading a cross-functional team of engineers and scientists to prove technical feasibility of the proposed disruptive solution, to test and evolve product/market fit, to develop go-to-market strategy, and to deliver a minimum viable product to lead customer. 
• Working together with Algorithmic Solutions and Platform & Systems groups of the Analog Garage to jointly advancing the mission of the Garage and collaborating closely with advanced physical technology teams across ADI to leverage the wealth of existing company resources.

Minimum qualifications

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Specializing in at least one of the following technologies: silicon photonics, bio-medical photonics, photonic integrated circuits, quantum computing, or nano-opto-electromechanical devices.
• Track record of successful development of products in semiconductor industry.

Preferred qualifications

• Knowledgeable in life sciences tools and/or workflows, medical imaging and/or robotic surgery, digital health technologies.
• Prior experience in development of semiconductor devices combining passive structures, active electronics, and microfluidics for health of human and/or health of planet applications, directly collaborating with multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists, would be considered an asset.
• Effective communication, judgment, and teamwork skills are essential.
• Experienced working with customers and external partners.
• Capable of adapting to the changing needs of early-stage research & development environment.
