<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Company Overview</strong></span></p> <p><strong>Ambiq</strong>&nbsp;is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere — powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.</p> <p>Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.</p> <p>Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.</p> <p>We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.</p> <p>At Ambiq, we live by five values:&nbsp;<strong>Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.</strong></p> <p>If that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 1">Scope</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335572079&quot;:6,&quot;335572080&quot;:4,&quot;335572081&quot;:6245919,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;single&quot;}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As Senior Staff Engineer, Analog Design at Ambiq, you will drive the specification, architecture, and design of key analog subsystems, including PMUs, clocking, and data converters, with broader scope and greater design autonomy than the Staff level.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559739&quot;:160}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This role works closely with the Architecture and RTL teams to create custom analog designs that meet and exceed customer needs, often owning architecture decisions across more than one subsystem or product line simultaneously.
