INNOVATION
BEGINS HERE
A Startup with Stability
We’re the place where Analog Devices brings together engineers, data scientists, hardware and software people, and many more to create new technologies and new solutions in a fast-moving, idea-driven startup atmosphere.
As the internal incubator for Analog Devices, a leader in cutting-edge technology for over 50 years, Analog Garage has both agility and a solid foundation.
Through the Analog Garage, start-ups, universities, research centers, and teams of our own employees get the support they need to solve tough problems and collaborate in a fast-paced, roll-up your sleeves, experiment-focused, and risk-tolerant environment.
“The Garage R&D team applies science, algorithms, data, and their creativity to deliver solutions to our customers’ most challenging problems. We are looking for great people and companies to join us in building world-changing solutions.”

Why Work at Analog Garage?
Small Teams, Fast Results
No 100-member teams with years-long timelines here—our teams are small, work quickly, and give everyone a key role.
Gain Experience in Multiple Fields
You’ll work directly with senior people in your field, as well as experts in other fields, gaining skills in a wide range of disciplines.
Become a Leader Sooner
You won’t wait years to move up at the Garage: Show your potential and we’ll give you a chance to lead a project.
Innovators Wanted
ADI’s product development increasingly revolves around software, including machine learning algorithms and other artificial intelligence technologies. Integrating more advanced software within our devices can make them more valuable and easier for customers to use. Our products “sense, measure, interpret, power, connect,” and software is an increasingly important element to do all of those things.

The Software Engineering Group, working with researchers, algorithm developers, and hardware engineers, uses lean approaches and modern technologies to develop software that spans the gamut from custom processors and embedded firmware to the cloud, web, and mobile.
 |
The Systems Engineering Group takes new concepts and breakthrough sensor technologies and builds the complete physical systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Software) we deliver into our customers' hands.
 |
The Analog Garage Venture Team members work closely with start-ups, incubators, and universities to collaborate on developing breakthrough technology that creates value for ADI and for our partners. We provide entrepreneurs with a path to propose, explore, and scale new technologies and new business models.
Other groups within Analog Garage include an Analog Circuits Group, an Autonomous Vehicle Group, an Internet of Things Group, and a group that focuses on consumer products.
Turning Great Ideas into Reality
Analog Devices employees, whether junior, senior or somewhere in between, regularly submit their own ideas to move from basic research to starting larger initiatives.
We also actively collaborate with startups, established companies, and universities developing better ways to work together and move technologies forward. Have an idea? We want to hear it. Contact us directly at analog_garage_info@analog.com.
Research Areas
The Analog Garage covers a wide spectrum of research areas. You can have an impact right away, developing these disruptive technologies that make life better, when you work at the Garage.
See LIDAR Research in Action
Conventional detection and signal chain problems can often be greatly improved by utilizing constraints and ideas that come from outside of the system we are designing. The firefly process describes a boundary on how objects can move—that is, it details the constraints, not on the detector or signal chain, but on the object they are measuring.
Applied Research Areas
ADI’s analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits play a fundamental role in converting, conditioning, and processing real-world phenomena such as light, sound, temperature, motion, and pressure into electrical signals to be used in a wide array of technology solutions.

Analog Garage Success Stories
Cesium
CesiumAstro is developing a plug-and-play, software-defined active phased array system for space and airborne communication, and ADI is partnering with Cesium for tight technical and go-to-market collaboration. Cesium’s technology is particularly attractive for low earth orbit satellite communication as well as in-flight connectivity, UAVs, and numerous defense applications.
Pinpoint
Recent events surrounding the threat posed by the COVID-19 global pandemic highlight the urgent need for better methods for front-line mass screening to contain the spread of microbial pathogens. One pioneering biotech company envisioned a breakthrough concept using portable nanosensor technology diagnostics to pinpoint pathogens in under one minute. But to commercialize its patented technology, it needed a strategic partner like the Analog Garage and ADI’s Hillview fab process engineering team.
OtoSense
OtoSense was an AI startup focused on environmental sound recognition, and the technology enables the identification of various events and detection of anomalies on machine sounds or vibrations. OtoSense has added differentiated software, analytics, and machine learning capabilities to our hardware offerings in Condition-based Monitoring (CbM) and other applications across multiple markets.
ADI’s Time of Flight Camera
ADI’s high resolution depth mapping over existing 3D technology enables consumers to more accurately map themselves and their environment for a better user experience. When the ToF team was faced with the challenge of operating multiple ToF cameras together, the marketing and applications team turned to Analog Garage.
Join Our Downtown Locations
Analog Garage is located in downtown Boston, just a block from South Station with a quick connection to MIT, Harvard, and Boston’s many other universities. We’re there for a reason: we want to be where so many of the best ideas – in the city and in the world – come together.
