We’re looking for a Principal System Applications Engineer who combines hands-on analog design experience with the ability to think at a system level. You’ll shape how engineers worldwide solve precision challenges by defining the next generation of our tools.

• Gather insights from customers, field engineers, and product teams to understand precision design challenges.
• Translate requirements into engineering equations, models, and schematics for new tools.
• Define intuitive web application user interfaces, ensuring tools are both technically accurate and easy to use.
• Break down projects into clear tasks for software developers and modeling engineers.
• Validate completed tools through testing and verification, ensuring implementation matches your vision.
• Drive adoption through application notes, training materials, and customer visits.
• Occasionally consult on programming tasks (equation translation, logic), through direct collaboration with the software development team.

We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable digging into details and seeing the big picture.

• Innate Attributes

• Balance of system-level thinking and engineering detail; able to “zoom in and out.”
• Strong empathy and listening skills to translate between customers, engineers, and developers.
• A bias for action—able to move projects forward and overcome obstacles.

• Experience (Must-Haves)

• Hands-on analog board-level design: you’ve taken a design from concept through layout, debug, and production.
• Direct experience in precision analog design or supporting customers who work in this space.
• Background in electronic product design or as a customer-facing engineer (e.g., FAE, Applications Engineer) in an analog semiconductor environment for 14+ years.
• Exposure to software development to allow for effective collaboration.

• What You’ll Learn Here

• Professional software development practices (agile workflow, collaboration with dedicated developers).
• How to design world-class user interfaces for engineering software.

This role is ideal if you love analog design but want to broaden your impact beyond one product at a time. You’ll:

• Influence how thousands of engineers approach precision system design.
• Work at the intersection of hardware, software, and customer needs.
• Gain valuable experience in software design and user experience, while staying deeply connected to engineering.
