Application engineer

Position Summary

This role acts as a key technical link between engineering, product management, sales, and customers, ensuring successful application and integration of technologies in real-world use cases. The Application Engineer provides advanced technical support, translates complex requirements into practical solutions, and aligns cross-functional teams through strong technical expertise and stakeholder engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Customer & Application Support
• Act as the primary technical contact for customers, providing application support, troubleshooting, and technical solutions across UI, lighting, and power electronics products.
• Support product launches, customer onboarding, and design-in activities while translating customer requirements into effective product solutions.
• Cross-Domain Engineering Support
• Collaborate with internal engineering teams to optimize system performance, ensure subsystem compatibility, and support the development and review of application schematics, layouts, and system architectures.
• Product Development & Feedback Loop
• Provide field insights to R&D to support product improvements and innovation, participate in design reviews and validation testing, and develop reference designs, application notes, and technical documentation.
• Testing & Validation
• Perform system-level validation of integrated solutions across UI, lighting, and power subsystems, supporting EMC, thermal, electrical, and reliability testing in customer applications, and troubleshooting hardware, firmware, and system-level performance issues.
• Sales and Manufacturing Support
• Partner with sales teams to support technical presentations, product demonstrations, and proposals, identify new application opportunities across target industries, provide competitive technical analysis, and support product launch activities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in Application, Design, or Systems Engineering.
• Strong knowledge in at least two of the following: UI systems (HMI, displays, sensors), lighting technologies (LED systems, drivers, controls), or power electronics (DC/DC, AC/DC, power management).
• Understanding of mechanical, electrical, and thermal interfaces.
• Experience reading schematics and technical documentation.
• Hands-on troubleshooting with lab equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, power analyzers).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in multi-domain or system-level integration (automotive, industrial, or consumer electronics).
• Familiarity with embedded systems, controls, or firmware integration.
• Knowledge of industry standards (e.g., UL, IEC, automotive standards).
• Understanding of thermal management and EMI/EMC considerations.
