Customer Spotlight: Analog Devices (ADI)

How Analog Devices Tracks Certification and Upskills Engineers at Scale

Analog Devices (ADI) is a global leader in semiconductor innovation, supporting over 100,000 customers across industries like aerospace, automotive, technology, and consumer electronics. With a long-standing commitment to precision, performance, and reliability, ADI’s success depends not only on cutting-edge engineering, but on a workforce that’s trained, certified, and ready to move fast.

To keep pace with demand, ADI needed a way to accelerate time-to-competency for its engineers while ensuring strict functional safety compliance. But manual training systems, decentralized processes, and tracking gaps made it difficult for managers to stay ahead of certification requirements and workforce readiness.

Certification That Keeps Pace with Innovation

More than just onboarding, training at ADI is a core business requirement. Engineers must be certified to operate specific equipment, work with sensitive technologies, and maintain the company’s high standards for functional safety and quality.

With a rapidly growing workforce, ADI faced three major challenges:

• No system-level guardrails to prevent uncertified employees from accessing critical equipment
• Managers overwhelmed by manual processes and disconnected systems for training oversight
• Inability to accurately track on-the-job training (OJT) in real time — risking knowledge loss and inconsistent upskilling

ADI was seeking a smarter, integrated approach to learning; one built around precision, accountability, and automation.

Building a Smarter, Safer Learning Ecosystem

With Seertech, ADI implemented a certification-driven training strategy that ensures only qualified employees can access specific tools and technologies. This system enforces safety standards while supporting a scalable learning experience across its global engineering organization.

Key capabilities include:

• Three-tiered certification model (Full, Advanced, Initial) that maps directly to job functions and equipment usage
• Automated reminders and communication workflows to ensure timely renewals and manager visibility
• Integrated badging system that physically prevents equipment access without proper certification
• Digital tracking of OJT, enabling tribal knowledge transfer and structured upskilling for new hires

“Analog prides itself on functional safety training and continuing education for our growing engineer workforce.”

Measurable Impact at Scale

Since rolling out Seertech, ADI has seen immediate business value:

• 30%+ increase in time-to-competency for engineers across multiple disciplines
• Training and certification coverage for over 20,000 employees
• A modernized training model that blends compliance, operational safety, and workforce agility

By replacing spreadsheets and siloed systems with an integrated LMS solution, ADI has unlocked real-time insights into training progress and certification status while reducing the manual burden on managers.

Empowering the Next Generation of Engineers

As ADI continues to grow, Seertech is helping the company scale a learning culture rooted in accountability and continuous development. The platform makes it easy to:

• Track OJT milestones and progression
• Maintain clear certification pathways
• Support functional safety without slowing down innovation

What was once a reactive process is now a proactive, automated, and measurable part of ADI’s workforce strategy.

Where Safety Meets Speed

In high-stakes environments like semiconductor manufacturing and aerospace, speed can’t come at the expense of safety. With Seertech, Analog Devices has found the balance: accelerating time-to-competency while ensuring every engineer is qualified, confident, and ready to deliver.
