Job description

We are a semiconductor scale-up bringing a differentiated Analog Front End (AFE) product to market. We are looking for a (Senior) Field Application Engineer who will be a member of the sales & marketing team, contributing deep technical expertise to customer engagements and playing a key role in winning the AFE socket in customer designs.

You will be a core member of the sales team, responsible for the technical aspects of customer engagements and for supporting customers throughout the entire design-in lifecycle, from early evaluation to production. You will be working from the Enschede or Nijmegen office. Remote positions may be considered based on experience and seniority level.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in a startup environment and takes responsibility for moving opportunities forward. In this role, travel may be part of the job depending on the customer’s needs

Our Profile

Founded in 2021, Sencure is a Dutch startup at the forefront of wearable biosensor technology, bringing together Medical Device developers and IC designers to create advanced IC technology for healthcare wearables.

Our team of 25 dynamic and highly motivated colleagues is on a mission to revolutionize remote patient monitoring and health tracking through cutting-edge biosensor technology. By leveraging chip design, hardware expertise, and medical device development, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable in healthcare innovation.

Join us in shaping the future of healthcare and be part of a team committed to making a lasting impact on global well-being.

Core Responsibilities

• Work as part of the sales team and support customer engagements led by sales by owning the technical aspects of the interaction
• Support customers through the full design-in lifecycle of the AFE, from early evaluation and proof-of-concept to production
• Review customer schematics and layouts and provide clear, actionable design recommendations
• Continuously assess and articulate the technical value of our AFE to customers by benchmarking competitive solutions and actively exploring market/customer’s pain points

Internal Contribution

• Provide structured customer feedback to support product refinement and roadmap discussions
• Create and write application notes, reference designs, and supporting technical documentation
• Help define best practices for field application engineering as the company grows
• Help to build a mature and independent field application engineering group as the company grows.
• Operate in a direct-customer model in the initial phase; distributor enablement will be introduced gradually

Required Qualifications

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Minimum 7+ years of professional experience after graduation
• Proven hands‑on hardware design experience at board or system level, with solid experience in analog and mixed‑signal circuits and systems.
• Strong ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly in customer‑facing settings
• Comfortable working independently in a fast‑moving startup environment
• Demonstrated proactiveness, evidenced by concrete examples of identifying and advancing design opportunities, preparing technical viewpoints ahead of customer engagements, and driving topics to closure without waiting for explicit direction
• Preferred (but not required): Experience with medical product design or medical‑grade system requirements (e.g. safety, reliability, regulatory constraints)

Recruitment Process

The recruitment process will include a technical and experience‑based interview, followed by a given case study that candidates will prepare and present as a role‑playing exercise simulating a real customer interaction. A final discussion will focus on ownership, collaboration with sales, and operating effectively in a startup environment.

Why Join Us

• Clear ownership of a critical product
• Direct impact on customer success and company growth
• High visibility and autonomy from day one
• Opportunity to shape the FAE function as the company scales
