Analog Devices is seeking a Senior Principle SoC Architect to lead the definition and development of next-generation mixed-signal System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms for robotics, industrial automation, motion control, and functional safety applications. This is a high-impact role for a technically exceptional architect with deep expertise in digital systems, industrial motion control, Ethernet protocols, vision and analog/mixed-signal integration. You will work across cross-functional teams - digital, analog, firmware, software, and systems - to define differentiated SoC architectures that power intelligent edge devices in factory automation, robotics, and precision control systems.

  • Stay ahead of emerging trends in robotics, industrial connectivity, edge compute, and cybersecurity to guide long-term roadmap architectural decisions.
  • Define and drive SoC architecture for industrial-grade mixed-signal ICs, integrating digital accelerators, real-time control, and safety subsystems.
  • Embed hardware and software security features aligned with IEC 62443 and EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements.
  • Architect secure boot, trusted execution environments, and cryptographic accelerators.
  • Architect edge compute platforms capable of supporting federated learning for distributed sensing systems, enabling privacy-preserving AI across industrial nodes.
  • Partner with analog, motion control, firmware, and system/software teams to ensure cohesive system-level design and integration.
  • Incorporate support for protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and upcoming TSN field protocols like OPC UA FX.
  • Architect real-time control loops, motor control interfaces, and safety islands compliant with IEC 61508, SIL2/3 and emerging safety standards.
  • Specify and model digital subsystems including processor cores, memory hierarchies, bus fabrics, and signal processing blocks.
  • Collaborate with strategic customers and ecosystem partners to define requirements and validate architectural decisions.
  • MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in digital IC design and SoC architecture.
  • Proven track record in delivering complex SoCs.
  • Deep understanding of digital signal processing and control systems.
  • Deep understanding of industrial Ethernet protocols and networking stacks.
  • Deep understanding of functional safety architectures and standards.
  • Deep understanding of embedded security and secure firmware.
  • Deep understanding of embedded firmware and hardware/software co-design.
  • Deep understanding of analog-digital partitioning.
  • Proficiency in RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog), modeling (MATLAB, SystemC), and simulation.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills.
  • Experience with tactile sensing systems, haptics, or robotic feedback loops.
  • Experience with Vision Processing Units architecture.
  • Familiarity with motion control systems, servo drives, and robotics.
  • Familiarity with federated learning platforms (e.g., TensorFlow Federated, PySyft).
  • Experience with system-level modeling and verification methodologies.
  • Exposure to high-volume IC productization and manufacturing.
  • Experience with safety and cybersecurity certification processes and tools.
  • Medical, vision and dental coverage.
  • 401k.
  • Paid vacation.
  • Holidays and sick time.
  • Discretionary performance-based bonus.
