Position Summary
Analog Devices is seeking a Site Lab Manager to oversee the organization, infrastructure, and operational standards of engineering laboratories across the San Jose campus. This role ensures that labs operate efficiently, safely, and consistently while supporting engineering productivity. Responsibilities include standardized bench configurations, equipment procurement coordination, component inventory management, lab storage organization, and shared engineering resources. Manage the Customer Co-Creation Space shared lab and maker space infrastructure used for customer collaboration and development activities.

Key Responsibilities

Site-Wide Lab Operations and Standards
Develop and enforce consistent laboratory standards across all engineering labs, including bench organization, cable management, labeling conventions, ESD practices, and safety procedures. Maintain clean, organized, and efficient lab environments. Document lab procedures and coordinate layout changes, relocations, and infrastructure improvements.

Standardized Lab Bench Configurations
Define and maintain standard engineering workbench setups to improve efficiency and reduce equipment duplication. Coordinate deployment of standard equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, digital multimeters, and function generators. Maintain documentation for standard bench configurations and manage lifecycle upgrades and replacements.

Equipment Procurement and Vendor Management
