Job Title

Senior FAE - Embedded Solutions Engineer

Role Summary

Field application engineer responsible for driving design wins to revenue at assigned accounts by providing deep technical support for embedded analog, power, and signal-conditioning solutions. The role combines customer-facing engineering, reference-design development, and cross-functional coordination with product teams.

Primary activities include creating demos and proofs-of-concept, system bring-up and debugging, architectural reviews, and technical training for customers and internal stakeholders.

Experience Level

Senior — typically requires 5+ years of relevant engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include technical engagement with customers to win designs and accelerate revenue.

• Provide in-depth engineering support: demos, proofs-of-concept, bring-up and debugging of customer systems.
• Advise on and implement analog sensor, signal-chain, and analog power-management solutions.
• Develop and lead reference-design projects to create new semiconductor business opportunities.
• Conduct architectural and board-level schematic reviews and provide design-in support and training.
• Use the client engagement process to drive design wins and communicate quantifiable feedback to product divisions.
• Deliver technical overviews, seminars, and workshops for customers and internal teams.
• Manage multiple customer engagements and contribute to global account strategies.
• Travel to customer sites (approximately 25%–50%).

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, tools, and professional competencies.

• Power-management electronic design: LDOs, Boost, Buck, Buck-Boost, SEPIC, isolated converters; thermal management and characterization.
• Experience with AC/DC and DC/DC architectures, system fault protection, safety and compliance considerations.
• Analog sensor and signal-chain expertise; ADC/DAC, temperature sensing, timing/clock generation, power monitoring and metering.
• Closed-loop feedback and stability analysis; ability to use or customize simulation tools for loop analysis.
• Hands-on schematic entry and PCB design experience to support schematic review and layout recommendations.
• Familiarity with interface protocols: I2C, SPI, UART; experience supporting PMBus or similar communication protocols.
• Proficiency with laboratory test equipment for prototype and production support and debugging.
• Strong communication, influencing, networking, strategic thinking, and workflow-management skills.
• Ability to create customer-facing content and present technical material effectively.
• Willingness to travel approximately 25%–50% and manage multiple engagements concurrently.
• Nice-to-have: prior semiconductor applications or sales experience; familiarity with embedded system tools and frameworks.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline (e.g., BSEE, BSCE). The posting specifies relevant work experience of 5+ years. No other degrees, certifications, or explicit "equivalent experience" language were provided.
