Position Overview
This is a newly created role with no direct precedent at ADI. The Strategic Technology Analyst will be a dedicated resource for ADI's Technology Strategy Board (TSB), focused on long-term technology research, technology discovery, and future-back strategic insight. This role is designed for an individual with a strong technical foundation who can bridge deep science and engineering trends with enterprise-level technology strategy.
Unlike traditional corporate strategy roles, this position emphasizes technology sensing, horizon scanning, and research-driven insight over near-term business planning or transaction execution. The role will work closely with ADI's TSB, Emerging Business & Innovation (EB&I) teams, Fellows, senior technical leaders and external research partners to identify, frame, and evaluate emerging technologies that may shape ADI's long-term roadmap.
Initially, the role will operate in direct support of the TSB - enabling sharper discussions and deeper research. Over time, the expectation is that this analyst will proactively surface signals and themes that help shape where the TSB places its attention.
Primary Roles & Responsibilities
Near-term (TSB Enablement & Foundational Analysis):
Prepare background materials, deep-dives, and synthesis documents for TSB discussions
Track the TSB's learning agenda, open questions, and evolving hypotheses across workstreams
Conduct structured analysis to assess technical feasibility, maturity, timelines and strategic relevance of emerging technologies the TSB is actively evaluating
Ongoing (Technology Discovery & Foresight):
Identify, track, and synthesize emerging technologies and research trends across ADI-relevant domains
Engage selectively with external researchers, academic partners, startups, and consortia to deepen understanding of frontier technologies (primarily analytical and relationship-supporting, not business development-led).
Develop technology landscape maps, opportunity theses, and future scenarios that inform long-range technology bets and research priorities.
Aspirational (Strategic Agenda-Shaping):
Proactively surface signals, themes, and discontinuities that should command TSB attention - even when not explicitly asked
Challenge existing assumptions and introduce alternative framings backed by evidence
Help the TSB refine what questions to ask , not just what answers to pursue
Across All of the Above: Communication & Strategic Framing
Communicate uncertainty, assumptions, and alternative futures clearly and credibly, without over-optimizing for short-term conclusions.
Translate complex technical concepts into clear, decision-oriented insights for senior technical and business leaders.
Collaborate cross-functionally across ADI to align long-term technology insights with enterprise direction.
Core Qualifications
Education & Technical Foundation
Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, computer science, materials science, or another quantitative discipline required.
Master's degree or PhD strongly preferred; MBA optional but not required for success in the role.
