Description: System Application Engineer (Staff/Senior Staff )
Location: Bengaluru , India
About Us
We are a fast-growing Indian startup focused on developing innovative sensor-based systems for cutting-edge applications. We are very strong on materials, electrochemistry, physics, pure sciences and have deep engagement and understanding of our customer's requirements. Competing against the other global behemoths, we have carved a niche for our Hydrogen Sensor product line in the international market with our patented technologies. Our mission is to push the boundaries of our technologies by creating high-performance Analog Front-End (AFE) data acquisition systems for sensors and impedance measurement solutions. While we are building a strong team to progress our cutting edge sensing technologies on a MEMS platform (close engagement with premier research institutions in India), we are now focussing on developing in-house electronics chip building capabilities. We're looking for a passionate and self-driven System Application Leadto join our dynamic team and take ownership of critical design challenges. The Company has recently secured a healthy Seed Round of funding and has also been approved for the Design Linked Incentive scheme of MeitY, which shall fuel our next stage of growth.
Role Overview
As a System Application Engineer (staff/senior staff) you will be the technical face of our next-generation Gas Sensing Solution employing our state of the art MEMS Sensor and Analog Front-End (AFE) chip family. You will take ownership in translating high-level customer problems into complete, production-ready reference designs. Drawing on deep mixed-signal expertise, you will create evaluation boards, application notes, design tools and in-field demos that accelerate customer design-in and showcase our Gas Sensor + AFE SoC's competitive edge. Your insights will directly shape product and silicon road-maps and go-to-market collateral
Key Responsibilities
- Own the reference design strategy where you will define, architect and deliver PCB + firmware reference designs that solve real customer use-cases for Gas Sensing Applications.
- Engage with end-customers to distil application requirements, performance gaps and emerging trends.
- Collateral creation author application notes, user guides, BOMs, schematics, simulation models and embedded drivers
- Design, bring-up and validate evaluation boards; implement automated test scripts for performance verification
- Capture field learnings, benchmark competition, and feed quantitative data back to marketing & design
- Present at webinars, industry forums and author technical blogs to position our Gas Sensing Solution as the reference platform
What We're Looking For
- B.Tech/M.Tech/Ph.D. in EE/ECE with 8+ years experience in system applications engineering for mixed-signal ICs and sensing solutions. with at least one end-to-end AFE, data-acquisition or sensor-interface product in volume production
- Proven track record creating reference designs/eval boards and associated collateral for tier-1 customers
- Expert knowledge of analog signal-chains (ADC/DAC, PGAs, low-noise amps, sensor excitation), embedded MCU/RISC-V or ARM subsystems, and precision power supplies
- Hands-on proficiency with PCB design, lab instrumentation, scripting (Python/LabVIEW), and C/C++ firmware
- Strong customer-facing communication skills and ability to convey complex trade-offs to both executives and design engineers
- Experience in industrial or automotive sensor systems with strict EMC/EMI and safety compliance
Nice To Have
- Familiarity with IEC 61010, IEC 60079, ISO 13485 or IEC 61508, ISO 26262 functional-safety flows
- Knowledge of sensor technologies (e.g., MEMS, piezoelectric, or capacitive sensors).
- Digital signal processing (DSP) , AI/ML techniques for sensor data processing.
Why Join Us
- Lead the system-level vision for a Gas Sensing Solutions that will anchor multiple vertical platforms.
- Influence product and silicon road-maps while remaining deeply hands-on with hardware, firmware and real customer problems.
- Be a key player in an innovative Indian startup shaping the future of sensor technology.
- Competitive compensation, ESOP , and a vibrant work culture.
