Applications Engineer for High Reliability Compute Power

Job Title

Applications Engineer for High Reliability Compute Power

Role Summary

Senior-level engineer responsible for system-level architecture, product definition, and application support for power-management solutions used in high-reliability compute applications (e.g., satellites, aerospace, defense).

Will work with customers, marketing, sales, and field application engineers to develop new products and support design-in of MPS compute power solutions. Location: San Jose, CA or Kirkland, WA.

Experience Level

Senior-level; the role prefers 5–10 years of relevant experience in product definition, system engineering, or applications for high-reliability systems.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include product definition, customer support, and enabling design wins for high-reliability compute power solutions.

• Drive system-level power-architecture and product definition for compute SoC/CPU/GPU/FPGA power delivery in high-reliability applications.
• Support customer design-in activities and resolve design issues remotely or on-site.
• Partner with marketing to produce collateral and technical materials to support field teams and customers.
• Perform competitive analysis to inform product positioning and roadmap.
• Identify customer needs to influence new product and product-family development.
• Develop datasheets and technical collateral to support product launches.
• Provide lab support: test, debug, and validate power-management ICs and reference designs.
• Travel to customer sites or events as required (up to ~10%).

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; nice-to-have items are noted separately.

• Must-have: 5–10 years of experience in product definition, system engineering, or applications for high-reliability systems.
• Must-have: Hands-on PCB design experience and strong understanding of schematics and board layouts.
• Must-have: Practical experience using lab equipment to test and debug power-management ICs.
• Must-have: Strong verbal, written, and presentation skills for technical audiences.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with power-management ICs for space or satellite SoC power.
• Nice-to-have: Prior experience engaging with customers in aerospace, space, or defense sectors.

Education Requirements

BSEE (Electrical Engineering) or equivalent education required.
