Ambiq Micro, Inc.
Ambiq is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere — powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.
Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 290 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.
Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.
We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.
At Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.
If that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
The Field Applications Engineer (FAE) will provide direct support to global customers with a focus on customers in the assigned region. Support development and debug of products using Ambiq ultra-low power solutions. The candidate will assist in all aspects of customer design-in process and support customers' hardware and software development through to full production.
Candidate must quickly learn and support Ambiq products, read/write technical specifications/requirements, develop/refine hardware designs, system integration and lab skills, demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities, and work closely with customers and internal engineering to help develop and launch customers’ new products.
Will require traveling up to 50% of the time.
Ideal candidates will be engineers with experience developing software and hardware in embedded systems. The candidate should have experience visiting customers and supporting them, and be comfortable presenting and discussing complex technical topics. The ideal candidate will have experience with energy-constrained, battery-powered products and will have expertise in leading low-power microcontrollers, DSPs, radios, and other peripherals from industry leaders. Knowledge of wearable and hearable product designs is desirable. Solid electrical engineering, embedded software/firmware development (C programming language), digital & analog circuit fundamentals, and lab skills are a must. Strong communication and teamwork skills are required. Experience with wireless standards such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or ZigBee will be a plus, and application experience with ARM-based microcontrollers is strongly desired.
Looking for folks who have had specific experience:
Must be currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer. We do not sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas (now or in the future) for this role.
Ambiq management is building a company that values ongoing technology innovation, a fanatical focus on customer needs, collaborative decision-making, and, above all, enthusiasm for energy efficiency. The incoming FAE should embrace these same values. The FAE must also be creative and comfortable supporting entirely new chip products for new classes of battery-powered devices. The ideal FAE candidate will be hungry for success and will be ready to adapt and grow rapidly with Ambiq in the coming years.
