Company Overview

Ambiq is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere — powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.

Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.

Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.

We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.

At Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.

If that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.

Qualifications

Ideal candidates will be engineers with experience developing software and hardware in embedded systems. The candidate should have experience visiting customers and supporting them, and be comfortable presenting and discussing complex technical topics. The ideal candidate will have experience with energy-constrained, battery-powered products and will have expertise in leading low-power microcontrollers, DSPs, radios, and other peripherals from industry leaders. Knowledge of wearable and hearable product designs is desirable. Solid electrical engineering, embedded software/firmware development (C Programming Language), digital & analog circuit fundamentals, and lab skills are a must. Strong communication and teamwork skills are required. Experience with wireless standards such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or ZigBee will be a plus, and application experience with ARM-based microcontrollers is strongly desired.

Looking for folks who have had specific experience:

- 8+ years’ experience in a Field Applications Engineering role in the semiconductor industry

- Extensive experience visiting, presenting to, and working with customers

- Experience with embedded 32-bit MCU software and hardware is required

- Experience with Cortex-M ARM-based microcontrollers is highly desirable

- Experience with Zephyr RTOS, particularly configuring and debugging BLE-enabled embedded MCU applications, is highly preferred.

- Experience debugging common embedded MCU HW and SW issues

- Experience supporting and designing with low-power radios (BLE, BT Classic, 802.15.4) is desirable

- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or related field) required; candidates without a degree must have a minimum of 10+ years of directly related professional experience.
