Senior AI/ML Applications Engineer at Analog Devices in Limerick, Ireland
Imagine standing at the forefront of the semiconductor revolution where agentic AI—autonomous multi-agent systems that reason, learn, plan, and execute—is transforming integrated circuit (IC) design and verification. Analog Devices, a global leader in bridging the physical and digital worlds, is pioneering these breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge. With over $9 billion in FY24 revenue and 24,000 employees worldwide, ADI empowers innovators in digitized factories, mobility, digital healthcare, climate solutions, and connectivity. Now, from the vibrant tech hub of Limerick, Ireland, you can lead this charge as a Senior AI/ML Applications Engineer in the Engineering Enablement group.
This role sits within the Systems Verification and Validation (SVV) team, delivering industry-leading tools like Unified Metric-Driven Verification, SystemVerilog/UVM, Mixed-Signal DV, Formal Verification, and Emulation. Recent focus? Deploying agentic AI to supercharge digital architecture, design, implementation, DV, and embedded software. You'll develop, integrate, and support AI-driven solutions that automate complex tasks, letting engineers tackle high-level innovation. Based in Limerick, Ireland, this position offers a dynamic blend of cutting-edge tech and European lifestyle.
A Day in the Life of a Senior AI/ML Applications Engineer
Your morning in Limerick starts with a strong coffee overlooking the River Shannon, then diving into code at Analog Devices' state-of-the-art campus. By 9 AM, you're evaluating the latest agentic AI framework—perhaps fine-tuning an LLM for RTL optimization. Mid-morning, collaborate via Slack with digital architects in California, scripting Python automations that link AI tools to Synopsys flows.
Lunch? A team walk through Limerick's historic King’s Island or a quick gym session. Afternoon brings hands-on integration: crafting custom prompts and RAG pipelines to accelerate UVM testbenches. You benchmark tools like Xcelium against AI-enhanced versions, analyzing metrics in Jupyter notebooks. By 3 PM, you're leading a workshop for verification engineers, demoing how agentic AI debugs gate-level sims 10x faster.
End the day debugging a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions, pushing updates to cloud-hosted vector DBs on AWS. Wrap up with cross-team syncs, planning tomorrow's Formal Verification AI extensions. It's fast-paced, collaborative, and impactful—redefining semiconductor productivity.
