Project Engineer

Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) defines innovation and excellence in signal processing. ADI's analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits (IC) play a fundamental role in converting, conditioning, and processing real-world phenomena such as light, sound, temperature, motion, and pressure into electrical signals to be used in a wide array of electronic equipment.  ADI’s Healthcare Imaging group combines ADI’s signal processing capabilities with advanced sensor technologies and state-of-the-art packaging innovations to provide holistic signal chain System-in-Package “SiP” solutions to our Healthcare customers.

The Product Engineer will be responsible for a specific healthcare product or group of products from concept and definition through production and release. The Product Engineer will be responsible for laboratory evaluation, and will serve as the main interface to design, applications, wafer foundry, assembly, test, quality, and marketing groups.  

The ideal candidate would have experience in analog to digital converters, analog circuits, semiconductor IC processes. Experience in photonics, biomedical engineering, medical imaging, and system engineering is also beneficial.

The Product Engineer role is engaged in many aspects of new product development such as:

• Planning, designing, and developing electronic parts, components, integrated circuitry, mechanical systems, equipment and packaging, optical systems and/or DSP systems.
• Evaluating reliability of materials, properties and techniques used in production.
• Designing, developing, programing, and implementing cost-effective methods of testing, evaluating, and troubleshooting systems and equipment for all phases of product development and manufacturing.
• Designing and executing evaluation test methods to characterize and measure new silicon performance over customer use case and environmental conditions, interpreting the measurement data, identifying silicon issues and debugging to root cause.
• Participating in the design simulation and verification of the product prior to tape-out.
• Preparing test, evaluation and diagnostic programs, designing test fixtures and equipment, and completing specifications and procedures for new products.
• Planning the labor, schedules, and equipment required for testing and evaluating standard and special devices.
• Completing and documenting all testing required to meet product release requirements.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Development of test capability including both hardware and software designs.
• Support design validation of early silicon.
• Debug of product related issues.
• Product characterization by laboratory testing.
• Work closely with reliability team to define and execute on qualification plan and validation of the necessary qualification hardware.
• Analysis of production and reliability test data.
• Post release sustaining activities (Disposition of early production hold lots, drive the resolution of customer and production yield issues).
• Direct interaction with field sales/applications as well as customers to resolve product issues.
• May participate in customer visits.

Education:

BS or MS degree in EE or ECE or equivalent relevant experience.

Key Attributes:

• Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to work to aggressive schedules.
• Strong analytical skills.  Ability to draw conclusions from complex data sets and summarize and present at a high level.
• Strong understanding of statistical analysis.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to work on large multi-discipline development teams.
• Experience with high level software languages. Useful examples include C, Microsoft VBA, National Instruments LabVIEW, and Matlab.
• Experience with medical products, biomedical engineering and system design practices is beneficial.
