Plano, United States | Posted on 07/21/2026

Apogee Semiconductor provides products and technologies for space and other extreme environments.

We are focused on making the frontier of space more accessible by bridging the technology gap between commercial and high-reliability technologies at a lower cost. We provide optimized products and infrastructure that give you the best in reliability and value.

Our products and services are targeted towards enabling small-satellites and large constellations that require high performance, a small form factor and radiation resilience at a lower cost.

Working in partnership with state-of-the art semiconductor foundries, Apogee Semiconductor develops radiation hardened processes and components that serve as the foundation for our cutting-edge integrated circuits and IP blocks.

Job Description

What You’ll Do

• Create and maintain the customer-facing datasheets fornew products, from initial datasheet through qualification and up to release tomarket.
• Ensure product specification compliance throughoversight of the spec compliance matrix (SCM), mandating comprehensive inputsfrom the IC Design Team, IC Verification Team, Radiation Effects Team, andProduction Test Team (DFT).
• Negotiate new product specifications and architecturaltrade-offs with the IC Design Team, Test Team, and customers.
• Vet new product specifications with lead customersidentified in collaboration with the Marketing Team.
• Meet with customers to understand what problems Apogeecan solve for them and what market opportunities exist in addressing thoseproblems. Feed this input into Sales and Marketing to support new product salesand the strategic roadmap.
