Preferred qualifications:

• Solid knowledge of analog electronics fundamentals including amplifiers, voltage regulators, data converters, and power management topologies


• Experience using signal processing and system modeling tools (MATLAB, Simulink, SPICE, VerilogAMS, or equivalent)


• Ability to read and interpret IC datasheets, application notes, and system schematics


• Programming or scripting experience for IC configuration, test automation, or data analysis (Python, C, or MATLAB)


• Prior experience as an applications engineer, design engineer, or in a customer-facing technical role using analog ICs


• Knowledge of one or more end-equipment markets such as EV/HEV, data center, industrial automation, or personal electronics


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences


• Strong analytical skills and ability to navigate ambiguity in early-stage product definition


• Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders, both internally and externally
