  • Provide technical support during customer system development: component usage, specifications, circuit and PCB layout advice.
  • Collaborate with Product Line and global development teams for problem solving and program coordination.
  • Investigate new customer requirements and support demand-creation for standard analog signal-chain components.
  • Plan and facilitate customer visits and events when product teams travel to Japan.
  • Perform IC and circuit characteristic evaluation using standard laboratory measurement equipment and prepare customer responses.
  • Lead technical proposals and requirements investigations for general-purpose analog signal-processing products.
  • Plan and manage activities that involve coordination with overseas development organizations.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, language ability, and relevant experience.

  • Fluent Japanese for everyday email and one-on-one online meetings; functional English for cross-border collaboration.
  • 5+ years of experience as a field applications engineer for semiconductor analog products.
  • Ability to evaluate IC/circuit performance with lab measurement instruments and produce technical customer responses.
  • Practical knowledge and application of analog circuit building blocks: op amps, converters, switches, references, clocks, interfaces, and sensors.
  • System design experience for semiconductor test systems (ATE).
  • Circuit design experience related to semiconductor test systems.
  • Experience in ASIC design, development, or support for semiconductor test systems.
  • Required travel: approximately 25% of the time.

Education Requirements

University graduate (Bachelor's degree or higher) required. No specific field of study or certifications are stated.
