About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Provide high-level technical support and application expertise to semiconductor customers.
Act as a trusted technical partner from early architecture definition through design-in, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing.
Focus on application enablement, system-level problem solving, and accelerating customer adoption of advanced semiconductor materials, processes, or solutions.
Serve as the primary technical interface for customers on advanced semiconductor applications.
Provide expert-level troubleshooting for complex application, process, or reliability issues across development and production phases.
Support customers during design reviews, process integration discussions, and root-cause investigations.
Act as a peer engineer to customer technical teams rather than reactive support staff.
Translate customer requirements into clear technical specifications, test plans, and application recommendations.
Support design-in activities, including material selection, process window definition, and application validation.
Provide simulation inputs, characterization data, and application notes to accelerate customer confidence and adoption.
Help reduce re-spins, late-stage changes, and re-qualification cycles.
Support customer qualification and reliability testing, including analysis of thermal, mechanical, electrical, or chemical performance.
Interpret and communicate reliability data to customers and internal teams.
Assist in foundry, IDM, and OSAT qualification flows, ensuring alignment with customer and industry standards.
Provide a feedback loop from customers to internal R&D and product development on unmet needs, gaps, and improvement opportunities.
Collaborate with sales and business development to support technical evaluations, customer proposals, and design win activities—without carrying direct sales quotas.
Contribute to internal training and enablement by sharing application learnings and best practices.

Requirements

What you’ll need
