Industrial Ethernet Software ArchitectWe are looking for a visionary software architect to lead the design and development of next‑generation industrial connectivity solutions. In this role you will bridge the gap between low‑level embedded hardware and high‑level industrial networks, expanding product definition from requirements, clarifying, modifying, or adding product requirements, and architecting the relationship between hardware and software to ensure optimized performance & reliability in real‑world use cases. You will define the embedded product architecture that enables seamless, secure, and deterministic communication across the machine layer, utilizing both traditional industrial protocols and modern Software‑Defined Networking (SDN) principles.Key ResponsibilitiesSystem Architecture: Expand product definition from product requirements into software requirements; define the hardware blocks required to ensure real‑time performance and scalability.SDN & Virtualization: Architect solutions that leverage Software‑Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization within industrial contexts to improve network agility and management.Machine Layer Tooling: Design and oversee the development of configuration tools, diagnostic software, and digital‑twin interfaces used at the machine and factory floor levels.Security by Design: Apply robust cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., IEC62443) and requirements into the connectivity fabric, covering secure boot, encrypted telemetry, and identity management.Technical Leadership: Provide mentorship to firmware and software engineering teams; conduct architectural reviews and proof‑of‑concepts.Technical RequirementsArchitecture: Deep understanding of software architecture at various layers of industrial networking and how product definition translates into software requirements; knowledge of how hardware and software architectures ensure optimized performance and reliability; good understanding of industrial connectivity use cases at different layers of industrial automation to define test scenarios.Industrial Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the OSI model as applied to Industrial Ethernet and Fieldbus technologies; proven experience with OPCUA (including Pub/Sub models) and its role in Industry4.0; knowledge of deterministic networking and synchronization protocols such as PTP (IEEE1588).Embedded & Networking Skills: Expertise in C/C++ for resource‑constrained environments and RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, QNX); strong grasp of L2/L3 networking protocols and socket programming; experience with SDN controllers (e.g., OpenDaylight, ONOS) and southbound APIs such as OpenFlow or NETCONF/YANG; familiarity with Linux kernel networking stacks and DPDK/XDP for high‑performance data planes.Tools & Machine Layer Experience: Building or using industrial configuration tools (e.g., TIA Portal, PLCnext, or custom engineering stations); knowledge of network management, Software‑Defined networking, Network discovery, Virtual Twins, and layers of Industrial Automation and mapping into software requirements for Industrial HW devices.Preferred QualificationsExperience: 10+ years in software engineering, with at least 4 years in a dedicated architect role within Industrial Automation or Semiconductor space.Education: Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.Soft Skills: Ability to translate complex "machine-speak" into clear architectural blueprints for stakeholders and developers.Job DetailsJob Req Type: ExperiencedTravel: Yes, 10% of the timeShift Type: 1st Shift/DaysExport ControlFor 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. Applicants for this position – except U.S. Citizens, U.S. Permanent Residents, and protected individuals as defined by 8U.S.C.1324b(a)(3) – may have to go through an export licensing review process.Equal OpportunityAnalog Devices is an equal‑opportunity employer.
