* Job Description:

**### Help define the next generation of Microchip's precision analog and mixed-signal products. The Mixed Signal & Linear Division builds the complete precision signal chain: op amps, comparators, voltage references, current-sense amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, and digital potentiometers. One applications team supports all of it.### ### As a Principal Applications Engineer, you'll drive device specifications, work with design engineering on architecture trade-offs, and bring a system-level view of the customer to products that ship for 10+ years.

We're looking for depth in either precision linear/analog or data converters, and an understanding of how the two work together. Depending on your background, your initial focus will be either ADCs (primarily SAR) or linear products such as op amps, comparators, voltage references, and current-sense amplifiers. From there you'll have room to broaden across the signal chain and a clear path to product-family ownership.###

### The position works closely with product marketing, architecture, design engineering, product engineering, validation, and test throughout the new-product-development lifecycle. It also supports sustaining and lifecycle activities for assigned devices.### ###
** Core responsibilities**###
* Definition** ### Author and maintain device specifications for assigned new products and derivatives. Drive them through defined milestones, capturing product goals, key features, specifications, and application requirements.* ### Translate customer needs, market input, and application use cases into clear requirements and key specification parameters, including the specs that can't be compromised.* ### Work with design engineering during early specification phases to evaluate architecture trade-offs and refine block-level definitions.###

* Application evaluation and system enablement** ### Perform hands-on application-level evaluation of new silicon, testing device functionality in real-world use cases and reference circuits from the customer's perspective. Feed findings back to design, validation, and product teams ahead of release.* ### Design,…
