Job Description

Microchip Technology is seeking an experienced Field Applications Engineer to serve as the principal technical interface between the Company, its customers, distribution partners, the sales organisation and the Business Units across the India region. The successful candidate will drive design wins and revenue growth across the Power Electronics portfolio, and will be expected to develop a working knowledge of the Company's wider offering - Analog, Timing, and the 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontroller and digital signal controller families, together with the RF power portfolio, which is a separate discipline in its own right - so as to position complete, system-level solutions rather than discrete component sales.

The primary role of the Field Applications Engineer is to support the customer technically throughout the design cycle and, in particular, during validation and qualification and the release of the design into volume production. Early engagement secures the design win; revenue is realised only once the design is qualified and in mass manufacture. The candidate is therefore expected to remain engaged and accountable at every stage - resolving qualification findings, supporting the production ramp and sustaining the design after release.

Principal Responsibilities

• Design-Win Generation and Revenue Growth

  Identify, develop and convert design opportunities across the Power Electronics portfolio in line with regional design-win and revenue targets, maintaining an accurate pipeline with Sales and Distribution.

  Analyse customer system requirements and recommend the optimal Microchip solution set - power management devices, silicon and silicon carbide discretes and modules, gate drivers and isolated gate drivers, sensing, controllers, and complementary Analog and Timing products.

• Technical Support Across the Design Cycle

  Support shall be sustained and hands-on at every phase. Validation, qualification and production release constitute the primary focus of the role; engagement continues until the design is in stable volume manufacture and thereafter for sustaining support.

  Concept to schematic - topology selection, system partitioning, feasibility assessment, device sizing and derating, bill-of-materials proposal, control-loop and compensation review, protection and power-sequencing review.

  PCB layout - power-stage layout, grounding and return-path strategy, thermal-and EMI-aware component placement.

  Prototype bring-up and optimisation - laboratory support, first power-up, fault diagnosis, and improvement of efficiency, thermal performance, EMI/EMC, transient response and reliability.

  Validation and qualification (primary focus) - review of the design-verification and qualification test plan; guidance on corner-case, margin, life and stress testing across voltage, load, temperature and line; EMI/EMC pre-compliance and safety pre-screening; and joint root-cause analysis of qualification failures with the Business Unit.

  Production release and ramp (primary focus) - design-for-manufacture and design-for-test review, pilot-run and line bring-up, resolution of production test and programming issues, yield analysis, field-return and failure analysis, lifecycle and supply-continuity guidance, and sustaining support.

• Application Domain Coverage

  The role spans two distinct technical domains. Switch-mode power conversion is the core of the position; RF power is a separate portfolio and a separate engineering discipline, and the two are not interchangeable.
