Jobs at Ambiq

The Field Application Engineer will support global customers in design-in activities, develop product solutions, optimize power consumption, and assist with customer HW/SW development.

The Field Application Engineer supports global customers by aiding in the design-in process of Ambiq's low-power semiconductor solutions, optimizing energy efficiency, and developing hardware and software for embedded systems. Responsibilities include design reviews, customer collaboration, debugging, and presenting complex technical topics.

Lead DFT strategy for ultra-low-power SoCs: design and implement scan, boundary scan, MBIST, ATPG and low-power DFT architectures; generate and analyze structural test vectors; run pre/post-layout simulations; collaborate with design, verification, and test teams to optimize coverage, test time, cost, and bring-up test vectors on silicon.

Lead and scale the physical implementation organization for ultra-low-power MCU products. Define strategy, build and mentor teams, oversee full-chip and block-level physical design (floorplanning, power planning, CTS, P&R, timing closure, DRC/LVS, EM/IR signoff), collaborate cross-functionally, manage schedules and tape-out readiness, and ensure first-silicon success and manufacturability.

Lead software architecture for low-power Edge AI MCUs: define requirements, perform functional allocation, prototype, guide implementation and testing, optimize performance/power, enforce standards, and mentor engineers.

The Head of Investor Relations leads the global IR program for a semiconductor company, managing investor communications, strategic positioning, earnings processes, and relationships with the investment community to enhance credibility and investor understanding.

Lead and scale Ambiq's silicon validation organization, define post-silicon validation strategy and automation, drive bring-up, characterization, debug, and production correlation, build global teams and lab infrastructure, manage priorities across concurrent programs, and provide technical leadership for complex silicon issues and customer escalations.

Lead verification of digital and mixed-signal SoC designs. Develop block, subsystem, and chip-level test plans; implement scalable UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches; write C-based SoC tests; apply power-aware CPF/UPF flows; automate randomized testing and scoreboards; debug, perform root-cause analysis, track coverage metrics, and collaborate with design and software teams to deliver chips to spec.

Lead enterprise AI enablement by identifying high-value AI opportunities, redesigning workflows, building business cases, running pilots, driving adoption, establishing governance and metrics, and building organizational AI literacy to improve engineering productivity and business outcomes.

The Sr. Staff Embedded Software Engineer will lead MCU software development, focusing on Secure Boot and hardware integration, while ensuring high security standards in products.

Develop and support Ambiq's Trusted Execution Environment and related security implementations for embedded systems, ensuring compliance with security standards and seamless integration with customer builds.

The Principal Edge AI Firmware Engineer will develop and optimize embedded software for AI applications, focusing on performance and energy efficiency. Responsibilities include enhancing AI runtimes, profiling tools, and ensuring customer integration across embedded environments.

Lead development and optimization of ATE test solutions for IC characterization, qualification, and production. Develop test programs and hardware, analyze yield and test data, debug failures, support production ramps, and collaborate with cross-functional teams and external OSAT partners to improve yield, reduce test cost, and ensure product quality.

Design, implement, and debug Bluetooth radio firmware for the Apollo Blue family. Develop features, optimize performance and power, write tests, support FAEs, triage validation issues, produce technical documentation, and collaborate cross-functionally to integrate wireless components.

Provide technical support to Austin office employees by troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues while maintaining IT infrastructure and documentation.

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will develop, integrate, and verify SDKs for SoC platforms, lead HAL and driver development, and validate embedded systems through collaboration across teams.

Develop, implement, and debug FPGA images for pre-silicon prototyping using Xilinx and Intel toolchains. Collaborate with SoC design, software, verification, and test teams to define timing constraints, support regression test suites, reproduce and triage issues pre- and post-silicon, and perform lab bring-up and instrument-based debugging.

Lead end-to-end digital verification for complex SoCs, developing UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches, SoC-level C/C++ tests, automation, coverage goals, debugging, and collaborate with design teams to ensure production-ready silicon.

The Principal Engineer - RTL will oversee pre-tape out quality for digital SoC modules, lead architecture and micro-architecture development, and manage RTL development. Responsibilities include IP integration, collaboration with verification teams, and assisting in silicon validation.

Lead the development and testing of Ambiq's Zephyr software, including driver and software testcase development, maintaining compliance, and solving issues in collaboration with global teams.
