Applications Engineer - Flex IC's

Overview

As an Application Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development of new Flexible Semiconductor products for both internal and external customers. You will collaborate with our R&D, Engineering, Product Management, and Commercial teams as the technical interface for product ideation, improvement, innovation, and road mapping activities, as well as providing first-line technical support for customers seeking to develop their own products in Pragmatic’s technology.

This is a great opportunity for you to apply your skills and knowledge to work on cutting-edge technologies and solutions that shape the future of the semiconductor industry. You will also have the chance to interact with some of the world's leading experts and companies in the field and learn from their experience and insights.

This comes with a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as a supportive and collaborative work culture.

To be successful in this role, you should have a bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and at least 3 years of experience in semiconductor design, verification, or application. Strong knowledge of digital and analog circuits, FPGA, ASIC, SoC, EDA tools, and methodologies are required, while previous experience engaging with semiconductor foundries and/or OSATs is welcomed. You should have excellent communication, presentation, and problem-solving skills, and be able to work independently or as part of a team. You should also be willing to travel occasionally to meet with customers and attend industry events.

Key tasks and responsibilities

• Manage technical engagements with customers around their use case, products, and support use of Pragmatic’s PDK and physical deliveries.
• Consult on project technical feasibility, specifications, and deliverables.
