Overview:
Our client, a high-growth semiconductor company focused on high-speed interconnect and AI infrastructure solutions, is seeking a Field Application Engineer to own West Coast field application engineering for their Interconnect portfolio: PCIe retimers, PCIe switches, and active cables.
This is a hands-on, customer-facing engineering role with real commercial impact. You will be the primary technical face of the company to customers in the region, carrying products from first evaluation through design-in, bring-up, and volume production, and spending real time in the San Jose lab working on server platforms.
This role is based in San Jose / the Bay Area, with regular lab time and travel to customer sites across the West Coast.
Responsibilities of a Field Application Engineer (FAE):
Serve as the first level of technical contact for Interconnect customers across the West Coast, owning issues end to end.
Drive design-in activity from initial evaluation through bring-up, debug, qualification, and volume production ramp.
Work hands-on in the San Jose lab: setting up server platforms, flashing modules, reproducing customer issues, and running experiments.
Build, configure, and run product demos for trade shows and customer visits.
Deliver product training and technical presentations to customer engineering teams and internal sales and field colleagues.
Work with AE, engineering, CPU vendors, and IP vendors to resolve customer issues quickly and root-cause field failures.
Run onsite customer visits, acting as the go-to technical person for your accounts.
Feed customer requirements, competitive intelligence, and field learnings back into product definition and roadmap planning.
Requirements of a Field Application Engineer (FAE):
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
3+ years in a customer-facing engineering role (FAE, AE, or similar) in semiconductors, hardware, or a related technical industry.
Comfortable working hands-on in a lab: board bring-up, hardware debug, and standard bench equipment.
Strong understanding of the data center ecosystem (CSP, OEM, ODM, and similar).Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to be the technical voice in front of a customer.
Exposure to high-speed interconnects (retimers, PCIe, SSDs), server platforms, signal integrity, or CXL/Ethernet/SerDes standards is a strong plus, not a requirement.
Benefits of a Field Application Engineer (FAE):
$200,000 Base salary plus commission.
Stock options.
Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401(k)).
Direct exposure to Tier 1 CSPs and their ODM partners.
High-impact role inside a growing product line at an established semiconductor company.
