About The Position

The System Applications Engineer provides system-level application support for products implementing USB 2.0/3.x/4, USB Type-C, USB Power Delivery, and DisplayPort (including DisplayPort Alt Mode). The role serves as a technical interface for customers, supporting design-in activities, architectural discussions, schematic reviews, and system bring-up. It also troubleshoots system-level issues involving signal integrity, power delivery negotiation, interoperability, firmware interaction, and standards compliance.

The engineer supports USB Type-C and Power Delivery architectures, including Source/Sink, DRP, PPS, EPR, cable considerations, and protection schemes. The role also supports DisplayPort and DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C, including link training, MST, HPD behavior, AUX channel operation, and interoperability. Working with silicon design, firmware, validation, and marketing teams, the engineer contributes to reference designs, application notes, and customer documentation. Responsibilities further include participating in USB-IF and VESA compliance and interoperability testing, delivering technical presentations and training, and sharing customer feedback to help improve and define future products.

The position is located in Chandler, Arizona.
