ATE Product Applications

Analog Devices•Wilmington, MA

About The Position

This position is for a Senior product applications engineer who will be part of the Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) group. Products in this strategy include integrated high speed Pin Electronics and Digital Power Supplies targeted towards automated test equipment applications. There is an exciting roadmap of new products planned and the product applications engineer will be part of a growing team responsible for ATE products from concept and definition through production, release, and sustaining. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated professional with strong technical, analytical, and communication skills, and will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with a highly experienced development team.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or an equivalent professional qualification with at least 5 years’ experience.
Experience needed with high level software languages. Examples include Python, C#, Labview or Matlab. You should be comfortable with scripting and measurement automation.
PCB schematic entry, preferably in Cadence ALLEGRO and understanding of good layout design principles is required
Communication with our customers and our sales/field applications engineers requires an outgoing personality with a pleasant and professional manner.
Excellent communication skills, both oral and written, are a key requirement.
Familiarity with commonly used electronic test equipment is important, e.g. Oscilloscopes and Frequency Signal Generators, Arbitrary Waveform Generators, Vector Network Analysers and Spectrum Analysers
As the job requires on-going collaboration with customers and our field applications teams, it will therefore necessitate occasional travel (~ 10% )

Nice To Haves

Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering is preferred.
Experience with embedded firmware and associated debugging tools is beneficial.
Experience working with FPGAs and familiarity with the FPGA Design environments would be a plus.
You should have experience with analog & high speed circuits generally. Additional experience with power management ICs, PLLs, or high speed Serdes is also beneficial.
