You own overall performance against Marki’s support KPIs, provide the technical depth required to serve Tier 1 customers’ senior engineering teams, and mentor the Application Support Engineer I. This role also owns the ongoing accuracy of Marki’s published datasheets. This role is based at Marki Microwave’s Morgan Hill headquarters and typically represents an engineer who has completed or is near completion of Marki’s rotation program and is building leadership experience by preparing the next Application Support Engineer I to take on the team’s ownership responsibilities. This role will require access to access information controlled under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR §§ 730-780),and likely the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR, 22 CFR §§ 120-130), and so applicants for this position must be one of a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or other Protected Individual (as defined under 8 USC § 1324b(a)(3)).

2-4 years of experience working with RF products, ideally including time in Marki’s Application Support Engineer I role or an equivalent customer-facing technical role.
Prior experience mentoring or training junior engineers is a plus.
Strong understanding of RF/Microwave device physics and component theory (Mixers, Passives, Amplifiers, Switches).
Working knowledge of RF/Microwave testing theory and standard lab equipment (Network Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer, Signal Generator, Power Meter, Power Supplies, Oscilloscope, Multimeter) sufficient to interpret data and speak credibly with senior customer engineers about measurement methodology.
Deep, comprehensive understanding of every measurement reported across Marki’s datasheet catalog, including how each is tested.
Excellent written communication skills; able to produce clear, technically precise, professional correspondence under time pressure and a high volume of concurrent inquiries.
