Key Responsibilities
Provide expert‑level engineering support for client’s customers and field teams, with a focus on Class D amplifier integration.
Design and develop reference platforms and evaluation boards showcasing Class D amplifier performance, including EMI mitigation and thermal optimization.
Author detailed application notes, white papers, and design guides tailored to Class D amplifier use cases.
Collaborate with layout engineers to produce high‑fidelity PCB designs optimized for audio performance and efficiency.
Create advanced Python scripts and automation tools for audio performance characterization and demo control.
Conduct in‑depth circuit analysis and data collection for customer applications, including THD+N, efficiency, and power delivery metrics.
Influence product definition by contributing insights from customer feedback and system‑level testing.
Work closely with IC Design, Systems, and Validation teams to align design requirements with real‑world use cases.
Manage multiple priorities independently and communicate project status across cross‑functional teams.
Occasional travel (approx. 2 weeks/year) for customer support and technical training.
Job Requirements Required Skills / Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience in semiconductor or audio systems.
Preferred Skills / Qualifications
Strong understanding of Class D amplifier architectures, modulation schemes (PWM, PDM), and protection mechanisms.
Experience with audio interface standards: I2S, TDM, I2C, SPI, USB, UART.
Proficient in schematic capture and PCB layout principles for high‑efficiency audio systems.
Skilled in C/C++, Python or other programming language.
Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows.
Hands‑on experience with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, audio analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies.
Excellent communication skills for customer interaction and cross‑functional collaboration.
Background in mixed‑signal hardware and audio systems is strongly preferred.
Aleron companies (Acara Solutions, Aleron Shared Resources, Broadleaf Results, Lume Strategies, TalentRise, Viaduct) are an Equal Opportunity Employer. Race/Color/Gender/Religion/National Origin/Disability/Veteran.
Applicants for this position must be legally authorized to work in the United States. This position does not meet the employment requirements for individuals with F-1 OPT STEM work authorization status.
