Scope

As the Staff Applications Hardware Engineer at Ambiq, you will drive the development of both internal and customer facing evaluation hardware.

This role will work with our software development team, our design engineering team, and our field engineering team to satisfy internal and customer needs for low friction solutions to evaluate our SoC performance and power.

The successful candidate should have strong experience with PCB development for battery operated consumer electronics devices. Experience with wearable devices is a definite plus. The candidate must have experience with developing and debugging on ARM-based platforms and should have experience with low-power designs.

The person in this role will involve debugging device level issues on our SoCs, supporting our field engineers for customer issues with their components and boards, and supporting customer facing documentation such as Application Notes and Hardware Design Guidelines.
