Staff Field Application Engineering
About The Position
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. 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.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline
- 5+ 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 for customer applications
- 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
