Senior Applications Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
  • Extensive experience (7+ years) in hardware design, applications engineering, or system validation.
  • Strong understanding of high-speed SerDes fundamentals and multi-Gbps serial links (e.g., Ethernet, PCIe, DP, USB3.x/USB4, proprietary SerDes).
  • Proficiency with SI/PI tools and simulations (e.g., S-parameter analysis, eye/jitter simulations) and comfort interpreting simulation and measurement correlation.

Requirements:

  • Collaborate with IC design, systems, FW, and test teams to translate field issues and customer requirements into product improvements and new features.
  • Review customer schematics and layouts for signal-integrity and power-integrity best practices (impedance control, terminations, return paths, via design, reference plane strategy).
  • Lead board-level bring-up and validation using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers; generate test reports and recommendations; provide on-site or remote debug support for complex customer issues.
  • Develop and maintain application collateral: reference designs, layout guidelines, design checklists, characterization reports, application notes, training materials.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with IC design, systems, FW, and test teams to translate field issues and customer requirements into product improvements and new features.

  • Review customer schematics and layouts for signal‑integrity and power‑integrity best practices (impedance control, terminations, return paths, via design, reference plane strategy).

  • Lead board‑level bring‑up and validation using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers; generate test reports and recommendations.

  • Provide on‑site or remote debug support for complex customer issues.

  • Develop and maintain application collateral: reference designs, layout guidelines, design checklists, characterization reports, application notes, training materials.

  • Participate in trade shows and provide FAE training

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.

  • Extensive experience (7+ years) in hardware design, applications engineering, or system validation.

  • Strong understanding of high‑speed SerDes fundamentals: channel loss, reflections, return loss, insertion loss, ISI, jitter, equalization, and clocking.

  • Demonstrated experience with multi‑Gbps serial links (e.g., Ethernet, PCIe, DP, USB3.x/USB4, proprietary SerDes).

  • Proficiency with SI/PI tools and simulations (e.g., S‑parameter analysis, eye/jitter simulations) and comfort interpreting simulation and measurement correlation.

  • Hands‑on experience using lab equipment: high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, TDR, VNA, BERT, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and related tools.

  • Strong skills in PCB design for high‑speed: layer stack‑up, routing constraints, differential pairs, reference planes, decoupling, and power delivery.

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills to explain complex technical topics to both expert and non‑expert audiences. ⁽⁵⁾

  • Ability to work effectively with global, cross‑functional teams (design, systems, test, marketing, field).
