Role Summary:
AmberSemi is looking for a Senior Applications Engineer to act as the bridge between external customers, internal product development, and sales teams. This role will specifically be focused on supporting the company’s efforts for technical evaluation of core solutions, applications with partners and supporting the integration of company solutions into final product solutions with the partner for market deployment. AmberSemi is developing disruptive silicon integrated products using proprietary solid-state power technologies.
Location:
Dublin, CA
Duties/Responsibilities:
- This work will involve combination of lab work with the internal company engineering, product management and sales teams in understanding and defining the company’s technology capabilities and roadmap. This knowledge base will be over-layed with partner product requirements, testing requirements and procedures of various demo platforms and implementing them on-site at partner facilities.
- For partner testing: The in-lab requirements will include working with Amber’s engineering team to understand the exact test set-ups, measurements and why each test is being performed on various demo platforms. This information will then need to be articulated into documentation for internal and external use to allow for future replication and easy understanding of results in Amber’s lab and at partner facilities. Furthermore, you will act as the conduit for testing at partner’s facilities. This will mean traveling with sales, marketing and/or engineering to various customer facilities and follow a complete replica of what was performed in Amber’s Lab.
- This requires in all cases an in-depth knowledge into each demonstration platform and how each test will apply to future product development along with adhering to sales strategies. You will need be in direct communication with the customers in their lab, coordinating demos and sending of documentation
- For customer integration support: You will work with product management and sales teams to support our partners in bringing end products to market with Amber’s technology integrated. This process will include defining customer product requirements as it relates to Amber’s technologies as well as validating the technology fit to those requirements. Then you will support internal teams and external customers in the qualification, and proto-type development of partner products integrating Amber’s technologies. This work will transition to supporting partners final push towards end product certification for final release for high volume.
- Travel required for partner testing and customer integration

About The Company and technologies:
Founded in 2016, Amber Semiconductor is an exciting, young Bay Area company developing disruptive solid-state power technologies. It is breakthrough, patented technology is anchored on three core pillars in silicon chip architecture:
- AC Direct power delivery: DC extraction directly from AC Mains without the use of transformers, rectifiers, or filtering.
- AC Direct Sensing: Realtime and continuous sensing of the state of AC Mains for full ongoing awareness of normal and potential abnormal electricity states
- Indestructible AC Switching: Digital detection and protection of solid-state architecture against the range of destructive electrical conditions, including short circuit, overvoltage, inductive load kickback, overcurrent, and overloads. All while this technology delivers arc-free switching thousands of times faster than today’s standard electro-mechanical solutions only with solid-state, silicon-based solutions.
These breakthroughs deliver a dramatic improvement in safety, size, reliability, and functionality for every endpoint in building electrical infrastructure and products.
The company boasts over thirty-seven patent grants secured in the solid-state electrification space. It has also been honored with prestigious industry awards like the CES Innovations 2021 Honoree, a BIG Innovations Award 2021, Time Magazines Best Inventions of 2021, Fast Company’s 2022 Next Big Thing in Tech Award, and a 2023 Gold Edison Award for Innovation and others. The company is well funded and boasts customer engagements with a who is who list of over thirty global semiconductor and electrical products companies.
Join Amber’s enthusiastic team as we build upon a unique intellectual property base, and power a TRUE Second Electrical Revolution.
