Role Summary
As a Robotics Senior Field Application / Solution Manager, you will serve as a customer-facing technical owner for robotics-related opportunities, covering humanoid robots, AGV/AMR platforms, drones, and other intelligent mobile robotic systems.
This role requires strong system-level understanding, hands-on embedded engineering experience, and the ability to translate customer requirements into practical semiconductor-based solutions. You will work closely with customers, sales teams, product teams, application engineers, and ecosystem partners to identify technical needs, define solution architectures, support design-in activities, and accelerate customer adoption of MCU, MPU, connectivity, motor control, sensing, power management, safety, and security technologies.
The ideal candidate should be comfortable discussing robotics architectures from both hardware and software perspectives, including real-time control, communication networks, motor control, perception interfaces, embedded software enablement, and system integration challenges.
