This role is responsible for application support for high speed amplifiers. Key responsibilities include:
- Answer customer questions and supporting design-in activities for released products. This includes:
- Forum and email questions from customers
- Schematic and Layout Review of customer application
- Debug of customer problems by re-creating issues in our evaluation boards and/or customer boards
- On-site support for customer board as required
- Design EVM and internal evaluation boards to support correlation and evaluation activities of new products
- Create user guides, test procedures and proper release of EVM boards for customer consumption
- Participate in datasheet review to ensure completeness of datasheet being developed by the Systems Engineer
- Perform Bench Characterization for High Speed Amplifiers devices, including bench automation, hardware design and develop test techniques
- Participate in new silicon testing from an application perspective to ensure robustness of the product (i.e. destructive testing)
- Work with systems engineer to provide support to early design in activities for new products
- Create custom reference designs targeting relevant applications to be used as customer implementation ideas
- Write application notes that explain different use cases, implementation and/or flexibility of our products
