Qualifications
Ideal candidates will be engineers with experience developing software and hardware in embedded systems. The candidate should have experience visiting and supporting customers and should be comfortable presenting and discussing complex technical topics. The ideal candidate will have experience with energy-constrained, battery-powered products and will have expertise in leading low power microcontrollers, DSPs, radios, and other peripherals from industry leaders. Knowledge of wearable and hearable product designs is desirable. Solid electrical engineering, embedded software/firmware development (C Programming Language), digital & analog circuit fundamentals, and lab skills are a must. Strong communication and teamwork skills are required. Experience with wireless standards such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or ZigBee will be a plus, and application experience with ARM-based microcontrollers is strongly desired.

Looking for folks who have had specific experience:

8+ years’ experience in a Field Applications Engineering role or equivalent in the semiconductor industry
Extensive experience visiting, presenting to, and working with customers
Experience with embedded 32-bit MCU software and hardware is required
Experience with Cortex-M ARM-based microcontrollers is highly desirable
Experience with Zephyr RTOS, particularly configuring and debugging BLE-enabled embedded MCU applications, is highly preferred.
Experience in debugging common embedded MCU HW and SW issues
Experience supporting and designing with low-power radios (BLE, BT Classic, 802.15.4) is desirable
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or related field) required; candidates without a degree must have a minimum of 10+ years of directly related professional experience.
