Product 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 h …truncated… Bash, remote system management, file systems, and basic system administration. What Sets the Best Candidates Apart Prior internship, co-op, or significant project experience involving silicon bring-up, embedded systems debugging, FPGA-based prototyping, or hardware/firmware co-development. Demonstrated ability to independently diagnose complex problems where the root cause is unclear and could span multiple engineering domains. Evidence of being a fast, self-directed learner who is comfortable picking up proprietary tools, unfamiliar codebases, and new hardware platforms with minimal guidance. Passion for understanding how things work at every level of the stack. Salary range is $140,000 to $150,000 depending on experience, level, and business need. This role may be eligible for discretio…
