PMTS Application Engineering (MIPS)

Job Title

PMTS Application Engineering (MIPS)

Role Summary

Field-facing technical role responsible for enabling customer design wins by bridging customer requirements with MIPS processor IP, software toolchains, and custom silicon solutions. The role supports pre-sales and early development engagements and works with internal engineering, sales, and ecosystem partners.

Experience Level

Senior level — requires significant hands-on experience. The posting specifies 7+ years of relevant experience in SoC/ASIC design and architecture.

Responsibilities

The role focuses on technical customer engagement, solution enablement, troubleshooting, and collaboration with sales and engineering teams.

• Act as primary technical interface for customers during pre-sales and early development phases.
• Support customer teams evaluating and adopting MIPS processor IP, toolchains, and development environments.
• Provide hands-on guidance for processor IP integration, software toolchains, system architecture, and design trade-offs.
• Troubleshoot hardware and software issues during evaluation and pre-production phases and coordinate fixes with internal teams.
• Support opportunity development: provide technical input for evaluations, RFIs, proposals, and presentations to secure design wins.
• Engage with ecosystem partners (software, EDA, design services) and participate in customer workshops, demos, and industry events.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for immediate contribution.

• 7+ years relevant experience in SoC/ASIC design and architecture.
• Practical understanding of RISC and DSP processor architectures and system-level design trade-offs.
• Experience working with customers in a pre-sales or application engineering capacity; strong communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to troubleshoot across hardware and software domains and coordinate with internal engineering teams.
• Willingness to travel up to 30% (region noted in source).
• Nice-to-have: RTL (Verilog) coding and synthesis experience, embedded system debug or FW/SW development, DSP algorithms for wireless/image/LiDAR/RADAR, AI/ML system design understanding, automotive functional-safety requirements, and security building blocks for SoC design.

Education Requirements

Qualified applicants will have a BSEE; MSEE is preferred. Relevant technical degrees include Electrical Engineering or closely related fields. (No certifications were specified.)
