Senior Embedded Software Engineer – RF Systems

About the role

Analog Devices is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with deep RF expertise to lead the design, development, and optimization of embedded platforms for next‑generation wireless technologies. This highly technical, research‑driven role combines embedded software, hardware integration, and RF system‑level performance.

Key responsibilities

• Define and implement embedded system architectures for RF front‑end and transceiver platforms.
• Develop firmware and low‑level drivers for RF control, calibration, and signal processing.
• Integrate RF hardware such as PAs, LNAs, filters, tuners, switches, and transceivers with embedded software.
• Explore new control methodologies for adaptive RF systems, including beamforming and dynamic tuning.
• Prototype and validate algorithms for RF calibration, power management, and signal integrity.
• Collaborate with silicon and RF design teams to co‑optimize hardware/software interfaces.
• Develop automated test frameworks, perform system‑level debugging, profiling, and ensure real‑time performance.
• Validate compliance with wireless standards (LTE, 5G NR, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth) and regulatory requirements.

Required profile

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems engineering with a focus on RF systems.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and real‑time embedded software development.
• Experience with microcontrollers, DSPs, FPGAs, and SoCs used in RF applications.
• Solid understanding of RF system design, calibration, and control.
• Familiarity with lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers, VNAs, and oscilloscopes.

Required skills

• Embedded Linux, RTOS, and hardware abstraction layers.
• Digital signal processing for RF applications.
• High‑speed interfaces: SPI, I2C, PCIe, Ethernet.

What we offer

• Opportunity to lead cutting‑edge embedded R&D projects in RF systems.
• Collaborative environment with access to advanced labs and global engineering teams.
• Competitive compensation and benefits, work‑life balance, and professional growth support.
