Role Overview
We are seeking a Field Systems Applications Engineer to serve as the primary technical interface to aerospace, defense, and emerging autonomy customers. This individual will engage at the system architecture level, helping customers design and deploy advanced RF, microwave, communications, and navigation subsystems for drones, autonomous platforms, radar, and electronic warfare applications.
This is not a traditional component-level applications role. The focus is system solution enablement — spanning semiconductor, module, and subsystem integration.
