Staff Design Evaluation Engineer

About the role

Analog Devices is looking for an experienced Staff Design Evaluation Engineer to join its Precision Signal Chain Back-End Measurement Team in Limerick, Ireland. The role turns new mixed-signal silicon into product-ready solutions by owning key parts of the design evaluation lifecycle, from defining evaluation strategy and measurement needs to building hardware and software capability, characterising silicon, analysing results and influencing product decisions. It works closely with Design, Test, Product Engineering, Applications and Quality teams, and may involve occasional travel (up to 10%) to development sites, manufacturing locations and customer facilities.

Key responsibilities

• Define and run evaluation strategies, test coverage, measurement methods and success criteria for new precision mixed-signal converter products, working with Design, Applications, Test and Design Evaluation teams.
• Lead technical reviews, set development timelines and risks and drive mitigation plans.
• Develop and integrate hardware, software, automation, fixtures and data-analysis capability for evaluating new products.
• Perform bench-level performance and robustness measurements, analyse and post-process data, and communicate results to technical stakeholders and customers.
• Investigate functional or performance limitations and drive root-cause understanding with cross-functional teams.
• Influence product, design and test decisions and provide technical leadership across multiple programmes, mentoring engineers and improving measurement methodologies and best practices.

Required profile

• BS or MS degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
• Significant experience in mixed-signal measurement, silicon design evaluation, test development or a comparable role, assessed at Staff or Principal level.
• Proven ability to lead complex technical projects and influence decisions across engineering disciplines.
• Preferred: hands-on bench measurement experience, familiarity with mixed-signal hardware development and CAD/simulation tools, DFT and pre-silicon verification, and experience correlating bench, evaluation and ATE environments.

Required skills

• Strong knowledge of precision analog and mixed-signal circuits and measurement techniques.
• Ability to understand converter performance and turn product requirements into effective evaluation work.
• Structured analysis of measurement results and data-driven decision making.
• Preferred: LabVIEW, C# or Python for automated measurement or data-analysis solutions.
