  • Develop manufacturing test procedures and hardware for board builds overseas
  • Create application notes, knowledgebase articles, and hardware design guidelines
  • Assist customers with the use of Ambiq SDK and hardware platforms

Qualifications

  • MS in ECE and 6+ years of experience or BS ECE with 8+ years of experience
  • Experience with hardware architecture design, component placement, layout, manufacturing test, system bring-up and testing.
  • Experience designing PCB schematics and layout using Altium Designer, Cadence, or similar PCB design software

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
