Senior Field Application Engineer - Automotive MCU

Role Summary

As an Automotive Field Application Engineer, you will provide

Role Summary

As an Automotive Field Application Engineer, you will provide comprehensive customer-facing technical support for Automotive MCU–based applications across multiple automotive domains. This role requires strong execution capability, system-level understanding, and the flexibility to support both key accounts and mass‑market customers
.

You will work closely with customer engineering teams to ensure smooth project execution, timely issue resolution, and effective adoption of Automotive MCU platforms across diverse applications such as Body/Zone Controllers, and Infotainment (Radio/Audio).

Responsibilities

Customer Technical Support

• Provide on-site and remote technical support for Automotive MCU–based customer projects.
• Act as the primary technical interface for assigned customers during development, validation, and early production phases.

• Support AMCU-based applications including:
• Body and Zone Controllers (AUTOSAR-based or non‑AUTOSAR)
• Radio, Audio, and selected Infotainment systems
• Assist customers with MCU bring-up, peripheral configuration, and system integration.

• Analyze and resolve customer issues across hardware, software, and system levels.
• Support embedded software debugging, including drivers, RTOS integration, and AUTOSAR CP–based systems.
• Coordinate with internal AE, R&D, and product teams to ensure efficient issue escalation and closure.

• Support customers in understanding and applying Automotive Cybersecurity concepts, including secure boot, secure communication, and basic key management usage.
• Assist customers in debugging security-related integration issues on MCU-based platforms.
• Demonstrate awareness of Functional Safety (ISO 26262) concepts and their impact on system usage and software integration.
• GenAI and Edge AI experience is strong plus, like multiple Agent using experience, model compiling/tuning/quantization experience on Edge AI.

• Support both key accounts with high engagement demands and mass‑market customers with parallel project requirements.
• Participate in customer design reviews, technical discussions, and on-site debug sessions.
• Maintain structured follow-up, documentation, and communication for customer issues and project status.

• Support customer adoption of reference designs, demos, and recommended usage models.
• Deliver technical workshops and hands-on guidance to customer engineering teams.
• Support customers during NPI phases from an application and usage perspective.
• Collect customer feedback and relay it effectively to internal teams.

• 3–5 years of experience in automotive electronics, embedded systems, or customer-facing technical roles (FAE, Application Engineer, Technical Support).
• Practical experience supporting customer projects rather than pure R&D ownership.

• Solid experience with Automotive MCU platforms (AMCU).
• Familiarity with MCU peripherals such as ADC, timers, PWM, communication interfaces, DMA, and basic system resources.

• Experience working with embedded software stacks, BSPs, and peripheral drivers.
• Familiarity with AUTOSAR Classic (CP) concepts and integration is a strong plus.
• Comfortable using embedded debugging tools (JTAG, trace, logging, memory analysis).

• Practical understanding of one or more of the following domains:
• Body / Zone Controller architectures
• Radio / Audio / Infotainment systems
• System-level understanding of ECUs, including HW/SW interaction and integration constraints.

• Basic…
