Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 61 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 91%

Of 11 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 453 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

24 transfer filings in the last year, covering 24 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • About Analog Devices Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) is a global semiconductor leader that bridges the physical and digital worlds to enable breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge.
  • With revenue of more than $11 billion in FY25, ADI ensures today's innovators stay Ahead of What's Possible.
  • Direct, hands-on experience taking a hardware and software product from MVP/prototype through to a manufacturable, production-qualified release - not just participation in reviews. - Cross-domain fluency.

Responsibilities

  • Own system requirements.
  • Write and maintain System Requirements Specifications (SRS) and Interface Control Documents (ICD) across mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, and sensor sub-systems.
  • Lead architecture trade studies. Drive cross-disciplinary decisions (e.g., packaging approach, thermal/mechanical/electrical budget allocation, whether a fix belongs in firmware or host software) where sub-system optima conflict.
  • Own the hardware-software boundary.
  • Define and maintain the interfaces between sensor/electrical hardware and the software stack that consumes it (calibration, signal processing, drivers/SDK, data formats), so hardware and software teams build to the same contract.
  • Drive verification & reliability. Own the V&V plan and FMEA process across the product lifecycle (EVT / DVT / PVT), and translate failure risk into design and test requirements - including software and firmware failure modes.
  • Bridge prototype to production. Identify manufacturability, yield, and process risks before they surface at scale; partner with process/fab and contract manufacturing partners.
  • Build the practice. Establish lightweight systems-engineering tooling and documentation standards (requirements traceability, review gates) suited to our team's size and stage.
  • Lead architecture trade studies.
  • Drive cross-disciplinary decisions (e.g., packaging approach, thermal/mechanical/electrical budget allocation, whether a fix belongs in firmware or host software) where sub-system optima conflict.

Requirements

  • Direct, hands-on experience taking a hardware and software product from MVP/prototype through to a manufacturable, production-qualified release - not just participation in reviews.
  • Hands-on tool proficiency.
  • Working proficiency with mechanical CAD (e.g., OnShape or equivalent) and circuit design/schematic-capture tools (e.g., Altium or equivalent) sufficient to review, redline, or directly interrogate designs
  • Working knowledge of DFMEA, DVP&R, root-cause analysis, and structured V&V planning, applied across hardware and software.
  • Track record of earning trust and technical authority across engineering teams without formal reporting lines.

Nice to have

  • 8+ years (12+ years preferred) in systems engineering of complex electromechanical or mechatronic products, including their embedded/host software.
  • Domain background.
  • Robotics, sensors, tactile sensing, or dexterous manipulation experience is a strong plus

Compensation

  • $157k-$227k
