Job description

Are you an engineer who enjoys solving technical problems, helping customers, and being the go-to person for product know-how? This Field Application Engineer role is ideal if you've got a solid base in analogue electronics and want to grow your career with a mix of technical consultancy, product application support, and customer interaction.

This is a service-first technical support role, working closely with the Field Sales team to deliver solutions, not just specs. You'll receive both internal and external training to build your expertise across a wide range of Passive and Active components, including Magnetics, Capacitors, DC/DC modules, RF, and more.

What You'll Be Doing

• Providing daily technical support and practical solutions to customers.

• Supporting the Field Sales team on-site and via video calls with deep product knowledge.

• Helping increase the number of components designed into customer BoMs.

• Writing technical presentations and application notes for a global audience.

• Delivering presentations at internal and external events to educate and promote products.

What We're Looking For

• Degree-qualified in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.

• At least 2 years of experience in analogue electronic design hands-on, practical experience preferred.

• Solid understanding of areas such as power supply design, EMC filtering, and communication protocols.

• I am familiar with DC/DC converter topologies (Buck, Boost, SEPIC, Flyback) and ideally have some experience with offline (AC/DC) topologies.

• Bonus points for RF knowledge or experience with RF modules and protocols.

• Naturally curious, outgoing, and keen to build lasting relationships with customers.

• Confident communicator, happy presenting to groups and working across departments.

• UK driving licence is required.

• Strong organisational skills and able to manage your own workload while being a team player.

• Some commercial or sales experience is a nice-to-have, but not essential.

What's in It for You?

• 60k salary (circa, negotiable)

• Bonus, Annually end of year, car + fuel card.

• A technically varied and customer-focused role with room to grow.

• Ongoing training and development to sharpen your technical and commercial skills.

• Opportunities to travel and work across both the UK and some international markets.

• Real career progression potential in a company that values service, not hard sell.
