Analog Devices is seeking a Product Applications Engineer in the Advanced Data Converter Platforms Group (ADG).  This group develops transceiver products from narrowband to ultra-wideband for aerospace & defense, instrumentation and communication applications such as radar, 5G, LEO satellite, and smart phone testers.  These products create a mobile, connected, and safe future.  In this position you will work directly with IC design, product engineering, software, marketing, and field applications engineers to enable customers to move fast from evaluation to prototyping with ultra-wideband transceiver designs, to ensure a positive customer experience and win new design-ins.

This position is ideal for an energetic, motivated and application minded engineer looking for new challenges in algorithms and support for the cutting edge ultra-wideband transceiver technology space. The successful candidate will join a product applications team with deep domain expertise in A/D and D/A converters, DSP, algorithms, RF, high speed interface and transceiver-based designs.

 Key responsibilities will include:

• Promote and take a leading role in supporting both the released transceiver products and new products under development at lead customers.
• Collaborate with Systems, FPGA and Software Engineers to define, architect and implement reference designs to accelerate the adoption of ADI solutions.
• Drive the concept/simulation and translate customer system requirements into product definition and prototype design for key applications such as radar, digital beamforming, 5G/6G etc.
• Perform signal chain analysis, circuit/system modeling and system performance evaluation.
• Create technical media (datasheets, application notes, training materials and technical seminars/webinars) that promote awareness, effectiveness and ease of use of Analog Devices' products.

 Key Qualifications

• Masters or phD in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science or similar engineering field.
• Experience with MATLAB and Python for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation.
  • Familiar with at least one of the following areas

Radar digital beamforming, adaptive signal processing etc.

Functions and algorithms in the industry's highest end FPGAs or ASICs for cellular radio and wireless standards (LTE, LTE-A, 5G NR, WIFI6/7 etc).  ORAN/LowPHY experience is desirable.

RF signal chain design and characterization, board level development

Serial communication protocols including Ethernet, JESD204B/C/D, or USR/XSR.

• Experience with ARM and FPGA microcontroller systems, boot processes, drivers, interrupts, memory systems, compiler, and debug tool flows (preferred).
• Hands-on experience in lab testing and characterization for evaluation of silicon and RF systems (preferred).
• Team player with strong self-motivation and collaboration skills.
• Open mindset with drive for success and a solid work ethic are valued more than any particular skill.
