Sr Staff Field Applications Engineer (FAE)

Description

The company is hiring a Field Applications Engineer focused on analog and power for the UK, with a base near the Bourne End or Swindon offices, covering customers in the UK and Ireland.

You act as the technical lead for analog and power solutions on system-level design work with key customers, from pre-design through post-design support. That covers new technology introduction, component selection, guidance on technical resources, schematic and layout reviews, and issue resolution that moves customers from design-in to design-win.

The role sits within the sales team, so you will work closely with peers to hit business targets.

Responsibilities

• Shape customer analog and power architecture, including power tree design, device selection and system optimisation.
• Run technical design reviews, root-cause analysis and hands-on debug of analog and power issues.
• Lead evaluations of new products and competitive positioning for the analog and power portfolio, which includes PMICs, DC/DC converters, GaN and MOSFETs, LDOs, battery management, signal chain, transceivers, op amps, optocouplers and NOR flash.
• Make sure analog, power, processor and connectivity subsystems work together in system-level designs.
• Give customers direct technical guidance to take designs from concept to production revenue.
• Send field feedback to product divisions to inform the roadmap, feature priorities and gaps in system solutions.
• Develop and deliver customer training, technical seminars and internal enablement content.

Requirements

• A degree in electrical or electronic engineering. A master's in electrical engineering (MSEE) is preferred.
• Solid experience in analog and power electronics, in a customer-facing or design role.
• Expertise in power conversion and management, covering buck and boost converters, PMICs and LDOs, power tree sequencing and battery-powered system design.
• A working understanding of analog signal chains, including amplifiers, data converters, sensors, filtering, noise, stability and signal integrity.
• Proven experience in system-level power architecture, schematic and PCB layout review (especially power integrity and thermal), and bench characterisation, validation and debug of power systems.
• Ability to work across the interaction of power with MCUs and MPUs, DDR, high-speed interfaces and connectivity subsystems.
• Hands-on lab skill with oscilloscopes, power analysers, thermal analysis and transient response measurements.
• Clear communication, able to turn detailed technical content into customer-facing solutions and value propositions.
• Self-driven and collaborative, able to take ownership of complex technical engagements.
• Strong willingness to work on customer premises, including regular multi-day trips.

Conditions

Based in the UK, ideally near the Bourne End or Swindon offices, with customer travel in the UK and Ireland.

Regular multi-day travel to customer sites is part of the role.
