Overview
Pragmatic is revolutionising semiconductor fabrication with ultra-low-cost, flexible integrated circuit technology that makes it quick and easy to embed intelligence almost anywhere.
As Principal Application Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring both internal and external customer success as the key technical stakeholder, translating application needs and requirements into technical specifications.
Collaborating across Engineering, Product Management and Commercial teams, you will be responsible for technical leadership of early product ideation, requiring creative translation of customer needs into novel FlexIC solutions and directly contributing in both technical and leadership roles throughout the product development cycle.
To be successful in this role, the candidate will be proactive in pulling detailed requirements from external/internal customers, translating them into technical specifications and driving the delivery of early concepts and demonstrators whilst contributing and mentoring at a technical level. Working across teams, the successful candidate will be responsible for driving these early concepts through the New Product Introduction cycle to eventual market launch.
A proven track record in Application Engineering or Analog Mixed Signal IC Design (or similar roles) within the Electronics/Semiconductor industry, experience of leading customer-facing engagements and a wide technical knowledge of electronics and their applications in a wide range of industries is preferred, but certainly not a pre-requisite.
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.
