Principal Applications Engineer

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 signalintegrity and powerintegrity best practices (impedance control terminations return paths via design reference plane strategy).

• Lead boardlevel bringup and validation using oscilloscopes protocol analyzers; generate test reports and recommendations.

• Provide onsite 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

• Bachelors degree or above in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
