We are an innovation engine where small, highly interdisciplinary teams tackle hard problems, rapidly prototype novel technologies, and translate breakthrough ideas into real-world impact.If problem‑solving through teamwork is in your DNA—and you’re excited by inventing new electromechanical systems that enable the future of robotics—this could be the perfect role for you. Our Advanced Robotics team is focused on creating foundational technologies that help our customers build smarter, more capable robotic systems that transform how work gets done.Role OverviewAs a Staff Mechanical Engineer in the Analog Garage, you will develop innovative hardware designs to enable our customers to build and deliver robotics solutions to their own problems or those of their customers. The ideal candidate has experience developing new robots and subsystems. You will work closely with experts in electronics, sensing, actuation, controls, and software to take concepts from early exploration through functional prototypes—and, in some cases, into productization paths for ADI customers.This position reports to the Senior Director of Robotics Innovation .Key ResponsibilitiesCollaborate with a highly interdisciplinary team to develop robotic systems and subsystems from concept through working prototypeLead mechanical design activities including concept development, detailed design, tolerance analysis, and hands‑on prototypingEvaluate and drive design tradeoffs across performance, cost, manufacturability, reliability, and scalability (DFx)Build, test, and iterate proof‑of‑concept hardware to validate mechanical architectures and system-level assumptionsContribute to system integration, test planning, and experimental characterization of robotic platformsCommunicate design intent, results, and tradeoffs clearly through sketches, CAD, documentation, and reviewsSupport transition of successful prototypes toward customer enablement, demonstrations, or downstream product teamsBasic QualificationsMaster’s or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics or a related field, with 5+ years of relevant industry or research experienceStrong fundamentals in mechanical design, materials properties, material selection, and manufacturing processesHands‑on experience crafting proof-of-concept models and mechanical or electromechanical prototypesProficiency with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Onshape, or equivalent, including best practices for part design, assemblies, and tolerance specificationExperience applying Design for X principles (e.g., cost, manufacturability, testability, reliability)Solid understanding of hardware development principles and the ability to apply theory to real‑world product designExperience working in fast‑paced, agile and highly cross‑functional organization.Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly using clear, simple language and visualsExperience with full product lifecycle and proficiency at completing tasks to meet milestonesStrong analytical skills, attention to detail and effective communication is a must.Willingness to support domestic and international travel as requiredPreferred QualificationsExperience developing and testing mechanical robotics equipmentProficiency with SolidWorks Simulation or ANSYS Finite Element Analysis toolsExperience in the design and sustaining of complex mechanical products and equipmentExperience in actuation and motor developmentProficiency with MatlabWhy the Analog Garage?The Analog Garage is where ADI explores advanced technologies with the freedom to experiment and the support to scale. You’ll work alongside curious, motivated engineers who care deeply about learning, impact, and building things that matter.For positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the U.S. Department of State - Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.
