Senior Principal Data Scientist, Demand Forecasting

Analog Devices

Overview
Analog Devices builds the technology that enables breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge. Our products are deeply embedded in our customers’ systems and are often designed in years before they reach production. As a result, our supply chain plays a critical role in delivering on customer commitments while balancing long manufacturing lead times, complex product portfolios, and highly variable demand signals.

Demand forecasting is a foundational capability that ensures the right products are built at the right time, in the right quantities, to support customer success and business growth. Accurate forecasts directly impact customer service levels, inventory health, factory utilization, and financial performance. As a Principal Data Scientist focused on demand forecasting, you will play a central role in advancing how ADI predicts demand, translates uncertainty into decisions, and operationalizes advanced analytics at scale across the supply chain.

Role Description

We are seeking a Principal Data Scientist to lead the development, deployment, and continuous improvement of demand forecasting models for a complex, global semiconductor supply chain. This role sits at the intersection of data science, supply chain, and product delivery, with a strong emphasis on practical impact, production readiness, and decision support.

You will work closely with supply chain planners, operations leaders, data engineers, and software teams to translate business questions into robust modeling approaches and ensure solutions are deployed reliably into production systems. This role requires both technical depth and the ability to influence across functions.

Key Responsibilities

Design and build advanced demand forecasting models that operate across multiple horizons, aggregation levels, and product hierarchies
Apply probabilistic and statistical approaches to model uncertainty, bias, and forecast error in a way that supports downstream decision making
Develop models using classical machine learning techniques such as regression, classification, time series modeling, hierarchical forecasting, and Bayesian methods
Incorporate external signals, business context, and domain knowledge into modeling approaches rather than relying solely on historical patterns
Partner with data engineering and platform teams to deploy models into production, monitor performance, and support ongoing retraining and improvements
Evaluate and experiment with newer AI and machine learning techniques, including deep learning, transformers, and foundation model approaches, where they add measurable value
Establish best practices for model validation, backtesting, interpretability, and performance monitoring in a production environment
Communicate results, tradeoffs, and uncertainty clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership
Mentor and provide technical leadership to other data scientists, setting standards for modeling quality and rigor

Required Qualifications and Experience

Deep, hands-on experience building demand forecasting or related predictive models for real-world, operational use cases
Strong foundation in probability, statistics, and applied mathematics, with demonstrated ability to reason about uncertainty and bias
Expertise in classical machine learning methods, including regression, classification, and time series techniques
Practical experience deploying models to production, including working with imperfect data, system constraints, and operational requirements
Proficiency in Python and common data science and machine learning libraries
Experience working cross-functionally with business, engineering, and operations partners
Ability to translate complex modeling concepts into actionable insights for decision makers

Preferred Qualifications

PhD or Master’s degree in a quantitative discipline such as mathematics, computer science, economics, physics, statistics, or a related field
Experience in supply chain, demand planning, manufacturing, or industrial forecasting environments
Familiarity with modern AI and machine learning trends, including deep learning architectures, transformers, and foundation models, with a pragmatic view on when and how to apply them
Experience with cloud-based data and machine learning platforms
Track record of leading technically complex projects from concept through production

Why Analog Devices
At Analog Devices, you will work on problems that matter at global scale, influencing how critical technologies reach customers across industries. This role offers the opportunity to shape core forecasting capabilities, apply rigorous data science to high-impact decisions, and help define the future of analytics in a complex manufacturing environment.
