Analog Devices (ADI) is launching an exciting new initiative — the Emerging Tech Hub — a collaborative space where customers, partners, and academic collaborators can rapidly prototype solutions tailored to their unique challenges.
We are seeking an Emerging Tech Hub Senior Manager to lead this flagship space and shape it into a global center of excellence. This unique leadership role combines strategic program ownership with hands-on technical engagement— blending the vision of a solution architect with the technical depth of a robotics engineer.
