Field Application Engineer

Company Overview 

Ambiq's mission is to enable intelligence everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. Ambiq is a pioneer and a leading provider of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions based on our proprietary and patented sub- and near-threshold technologies. With the increasing power requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) computing, our customers are relying on our solutions to deliver AI to edge environments. Our hardware and software innovations fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs without expensive process geometry scaling. We began in 2010 by addressing the power consumption challenges of battery-powered devices at the edge, where they were most pronounced. As of the beginning of 2025, we've shipped more than 280+ million units worldwide. 

Our innovative and fast-moving teams of design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations are spread across several continents, including the US (Austin), Taiwan (Hsinchu), China (Shanghai and Shenzhen), and Singapore. We value relentless technology innovation, a deep commitment to customer success, collaborative problem-solving, and an enthusiastic pursuit of energy efficiency. We embrace candidates who also share these same values. The successful candidate must be self-motivated, creative, and comfortable learning and driving exciting new technologies. We encourage and nurture an environment that fosters growth and opportunities to work on complex, meaningful, and challenging projects, creating a lasting impact and shaping the future of technology. Join us on our quest for enabling billions of intelligent devices. The intelligence everywhere revolution starts here. 

Scope

We are seeking a talented Field Applications Engineer (FAE) to join our team in Singapore. In this role, you will provide technical expertise in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and embedded systems to support customers throughout their product development lifecycle. You will work closely with customers and internal R&D teams to deliver high-quality solutions, troubleshoot complex issues, and drive successful product implementations.

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive Schematic & Layout Reviews to identify design flaws in power delivery networks, signal integrity, and RF/antenna paths.
• Lead the integration of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stacks, including GATT profile development and power consumption optimization.
• Guide customers through RTOS & Driver Integration (e.g., Zephyr, FreeRTOS) and peripheral interfacing (I2C, SPI, UART, MIPI).
• Perform root-cause analysis on complex hardware/software bugs using Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and BLE Sniffers (e.g., Ellisys, Teledyne LeCroy).
• Analyze system logs and protocol timing to resolve intermittent connectivity or stability issues.
• Support customers through critical hardware validation phases (EVT, DVT, and PVT) to ensure a smooth transition to mass production.
• Collaborate across time zones with offshore R&D teams (e.g., in Taiwan or the US) to resolve high-priority technical bottlenecks.
• Deliver technical training and product demonstrations to customer engineering teams.
• Proactively suggest design optimizations to improve system performance and reduce time-to-market.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts fluently in a professional business environment.
• Proficiency in troubleshooting ARM Cortex-M based MCUs and embedded firmware.
• Proven track record in the semiconductor, IoT, or wearable electronics industries.
• Proven experience with BLE protocols and wireless debugging.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with wireless certification processes, including SIG (BQB) certification, FCC/CE/NCC regulatory testing,
• Experience in antenna tuning and performing link budget analysis to optimize range and power consumption.
