Job description

iConnexion is a leading electronics solutions provider, specializing in components, connectors, and modules for advanced PCBA and embedded applications. We are seeking a proactive Field Application Engineer (FAE) to join our Penang-based team. In this role, you will act as the bridge between our customers, suppliers, and internal sales teams. You will drive design-in opportunities, support customer projects from concept to production, and ensure our partners maximize the value of our technology portfolio. This is not a service or repair role – it is a customer-facing, solution-driven engineering position. The right candidate is passionate about electronics, eager to engage with customers, and skilled in applying technical knowledge to solve real-world design challenges. If you thrive at the intersection of technology and business, this is your opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping next-generation products across consumer, automotive, and industrial markets.

Provide design-in support and application guidance for PCBA-level components, connectors, and modules.

Collaborate with the sales team to identify customer needs and recommend tailored solutions.

Conduct technical presentations, demos, and training for customers.

Work closely with suppliers to gain expertise in their product portfolios and transfer this knowledge to customers.

Support customers throughout their product development lifecycle – from evaluation, prototyping, to mass production.

Stay updated with latest technologies and industry trends to advise customers effectively.

Contribute technical feedback to the internal team for product positioning and solution improvement.

Ensure seamless coordination with cross-functional teams to deliver customer success.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in FAE, application engineering, or design engineering (preferably in connectors, modules, semiconductors, or PCBA industry).
• Strong knowledge of electronics design/application, not just troubleshooting.
• Excellent communication skills; able to explain technical concepts clearly to different audiences.
• Proactive, customer-oriented mindset with strong problem-solving ability.
• Possess own transport; willing to travel locally and occasionally regionally.

Why Join Us

Opportunity to work directly with top-tier global suppliers and cutting-edge technologies.

Be part of a company that values innovation, collaboration, and customer success.

Exposure to regional projects across Asia.

Competitive salary and benefits with clear career growth pathways.
