Principal Robotics Application Engineer
About the Role
The Robotics Focus Applications (RFAS) Team are advertising a senior Robotics expert role, located in the Wilmington Office, MA, USA. The RFAS team is responsible for expansion of ADI revenue globally in the areas of mounted robots, mobile robots, and humanoids. This role will be an integral part of the global robotics team but will also work closely with the robotics teams located in Wilmington including those in the broader RFAS Team, as well as those in the Robotics System Solutions (RSS) Team and the Edge AI Team.

This role requires a technical leader who excels in collaborative environments, and in technical thought leadership, not a traditional engineering manager. Existing domain expertise and hands-on development in robotics development and deployment is required, preferably with a robot OEM. The role is primarily one of thought leadership, technical expertise and influence.


Key Responsibilities

  • Work with the RFAS and RSS broader teams to match customer problem statements to ADI solutions, and to provide technical guidance and influence.
  • Work with the technology groups in ADI (vision, precision, sensing, connectivity etc) to understand and position ADI technology differentiation for robotics systems.
  • Support the creation and optimization of system architectures for robotics solutions.
  • Expand ADI domain knowledge in the areas of humanoid, mobile, and outdoor robots and the trends in these areas.
  • Help to drive next generation product roadmaps for relevant products including connectivity, power, vision, digital and motor control.
  • Support local sales and FAEs in deep technical discussions with robotics customers in the USA


Must Have Skills

Technical Foundation

  • Bachelors in Engineering (EE/Mechatronics) with 10+ years of experience in a robotics domain.
  • Hands-on experience and background in developing and deploying robotics systems
  • Familiarity with humanoid, mobile robotics, collaborative robots, and/or industrial vision technologies (e.g., ToF, IMU, sensor fusion).
  • Understanding of robotics and automation systems
  • Experience providing technical guidance
  • Good communicator with a strong ability in technical presentation and collateral generation

Leadership in Matrix Organizations

  • Excellence in influencing without direct authority (non-management role)
  • Proven success in matrix organizations where outcomes depend on collaboration
  • Ability to guide technical decisions through influence rather than direct control
  • Track record of building consensus across diverse stakeholders
  • Strong communication skills bridging technical and business audiences


Preferred Education and Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field; Master's or Doctorate preferred
  • Typically 10+ years of relevant experience in product applications engineering, customer technical support, or related roles
  • Less experience may be acceptable with relevant Master's or Doctorate qualifications
