Principal Engineer Field Application Engineering

Infineon Technologies - IR HiRel is seeking a technically driven Field Application Engineer to support our growing Aerospace & Defense business. This customer-facing role sits at the intersection of advanced semiconductor technology and the industry's most demanding applications- satellite systems, launch vehicles, military avionics, defense platforms, and national laboratory programs.

Your Role

Key responsibilities in your new role

* As the primary technical resource for key accounts, you will guide customers from early design conception through successful product integration. Drawing on Infineon's portfolio of radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant semiconductors - MOSFETs, GaN power devices, gate drivers, and integrated power ICs - you will shorten development cycles, reduce system cost, and improve the reliability of products built to survive the harshest environments on Earth and in space.

* Own the technical relationship across the full sales cycle - from early design engagement through design win capture and program ramp

* Partner with account managers to identify socket opportunities, build block diagram-aligned solution proposals, and position Infineon's rad-hard and rad-tolerant portfolio competitively

* Deliver technical presentations, application training, and design reviews tailored to the constraints of space and defense programs

* Provide pre- and post-sales support including schematic review, PCB layout guidance, and system-level performance validation for designs utilizing GaN, Si MOSFETs, gate drivers, and power ICs

* Validate customer applications in radiation environments, supporting derating analysis, SEE mitigation strategies, and TID margin assessments

* Advise on product selection across rad-hard and plastic rad-tolerant product lines for GEO, MEO, LEO, and defense environments

* Guide customers through applicable qualification standards including

MIL-PRF-38535, MIL-STD-750, and JEDEC space standards

* Capture and communicate customer requirements to product and marketing teams to influence roadmap development

Provide technical win/loss insight and contribute to the internal opportunity pipeline

Your Profile

Qualifications and skills to help you succeed

* Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline

* 7+ years in a Field Application, systems, or applications engineering role supporting power electronics or semiconductor products

* Demonstrated expertise in power switching topologies and high-frequency power supply design using GaN and/or Si MOSFET technology

* Experience performing design reviews across schematics, PCB layout, and system-level performance in hi-rel applications

* Direct background supporting Aerospace & Defense customers - defense primes, national laboratories, or commercial space integrators

* Familiarity with radiation effects (TID, SEE, SEGR) and their impact on component selection and system design

* Experience with space-grade memory products (SRAM, Flash) a plus

* Strong communicator with the ability to engage credibly at both the engineering and program management level

* Self-directed and organized, with the ability to manage multiple high-priority accounts simultaneously
