Skills: PythonProduct Applications Engineer (Full-Time) Job Description As an Astera Labs Product Applications Engineer, you will tackle complex debugging challenges that span from low-level firmware configuration to PCB hardware design and full system-level integration. You will be responsible for root-causing issues that cut across multiple layers simultaneously—for example, determining whether an issue is caused by a firmware bug, a board design problem, or a system configuration mismatch—and then driving those issues to resolution. You will work directly with cutting-edge PCIe Gen6 fabric switches and connectivity products deployed in real data center environments, collaborating with firmware, board design, and system architecture teams. This role is for candidates who want to understand how an entire system works from chip to rack and are motivated by problems that do not have obvious answers. Basic Qualifications B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, completed or expected by the start date. Strong coursework or foundation in digital logic design, computer architecture, analog/mixed-signal circuits, or embedded systems. GPA of 3.5 or higher, or equivalent demonstrated excellence in technical coursework. Strong Candidates Will Have One or More of the Following Technical Skills Firmware and Embedded Programming Proficiency in C for bare-metal or embedded firmware development. Understanding of register-level hardware interaction, memory-mapped I/O, bit manipulation, and interrupt-driven programming. Circuit Design and Analog Fundamentals Understanding of basic circuit analysis, op-amp circuits, power supply design, signal conditioning, or mixed-signal concepts. Ability to reason about voltage levels, impedance, noise, and how digital signals behave as analog waveforms at high speeds. Scripting and Automation Strong Python skills.
