Field Application Engineer (FAE)

As a Field Application Engineer (FAE) at LogiCompute, a semiconductor distribution company, your role is crucial in supporting customers in designing, developing, and deploying embedded systems. You will be the primary technical liaison for customers integrating 32-bit RISC microcontrollers into their products, focusing on Linux integration for real-time operating systems and embedded Linux distributions. You will assist clients in industries such as IoT, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and edge computing where 32-bit RISC architectures are utilized for efficient and low-power processing with Linux for advanced features. Key Responsibilities: - Provide expert guidance on selecting, integrating, and troubleshooting 32-bit RISC microcontrollers in customer designs, including advising on hardware-software co-design, peripheral configuration, and power management for low-power applications. - Assist customers in porting and customizing Linux kernels to 32-bit RISC platforms, develop or debug device drivers, bootloaders, and filesystem configurations for MCU-based systems running Linux. - Conduct design reviews, proof-of-concept demonstrations, and rapid prototyping using development boards. - Deliver technical presentations, workshops, and hands-on training sessions on MCU features, Linux enablement, and best practices. - Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues related to hardware-software interactions, escalate bugs to R&D teams, and track resolutions. - Gather customer requirements and feedback to inform product roadmaps, collaborate with sales to drive adoption of MCU products in Linux-enabled applications. - Maintain technical documentation and contribute to knowledge bases. Qualifications Required: - Education: Bachelor's degree in electronics engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. A master's degree or relevant certifications are a plus. - Experience: 2-5+ years in embedded systems with direct hands-on experience in 32-bit RISC microcontrollers. - Technical Expertise: Proficiency in C/C++ for bare-metal and Linux-based firmware development, strong knowledge of RISC architectures. - Soft Skills: Excellent communication and presentation skills, ability to work independently in fast-paced environments, willingness to travel and adapt to diverse project needs. Preferred Skills: - Yocto, Buildroot, GCC cross-compilers, GDB debugging, and real-time patches. - Understanding of 32-bit vs. 64-bit Linux compatibility, including dynamic XLEN switching for RISC-V.,
