Analog Devices (NASDAQ: ADI) designs and manufactures semiconductor products and solutions. We enable our customers to interpret the world around us by intelligently bridging the physical and digital worlds with unmatched technologies that sense, measure and connect.

 

About Our Team 
For 20 years, the Wireless Platform Group of Analog Devices has developed Software Defined Radio solutions for cellular telephone base stations.  From 1G to 5G, our market-leading customers have depended on our designs to launch their most advanced products.  Every day your cellphone most likely connects through our radio products.  Analog Devices is organized as business units such as WPG, each assigned a market to service, with control of R&D decisions and the responsibility to return a profit to ADI.  As our team has grown, maintaining our aggressive entrepreneurial spirit has been critical to our success. 

  

Whom we are looking for 

A test engineer designs hardware and software to ensure our products meet customer performance expectations in their cellular base stations. The demands of 5G communications require ultimate performance for linearity and signal purity at RF frequencies for both transmit and receive paths.  The base station electronics are mounted on towers where weight is the critical design constraint.  All cooling is passive, and our components are expected to maintain operation and performance at extreme temperatures.  The test engineer uses their knowledge of electronics, physics, and digital communications to subject our products to a list of tests that will ensure operation and performance in the customer’s application.  

  

Who you are 

You are more than just the assigned project.  You’re driven by your curiosity to understand how things work – and to fix them when they don’t.  When you buy a new high-tech item, you take the old one apart to see what you can learn from it before recycling it.  You want to develop advanced products that will enable features for the whole world to use, and it depends on you and your team to solve numerous and unpredictable problems.  You want a position so exciting and challenging that you lose track of time when working and sometimes wake up in the morning with solutions no one has ever considered.  But work isn’t your whole life.  You have interests outside of work and need a flexible, hybrid work schedule that allows you to work from home two days a week, fully supported and enabled by a company fully invested in the tools, equipment, and culture to make it successful.
