About SiTime
SiTime is the Precision Timing company.
Timing is the heartbeat of all electronics, ensuring performance, resilience and scalability. For decades, quartz devices, non-silicon technology, have kept systems in sync, but they struggle in harsher, more demanding environments. MEMS-based Precision Timing delivers greater accuracy, smaller size and resilience. Today, MEMS timing powers over 400 applications, including high-growth ones in AI datacenters, automated driving, industrial and humanoid robots, wearables and IoT.
Our semiconductor MEMS programmable solutions offer a rich feature set that enables customers to differentiate their products with higher performance, smaller size, lower power, and better reliability. With more than 4 billion devices shipped, SiTime is changing the timing industry. For more information, visit: www.sitime.com.
Job Summary
As an Applications Engineer at SiTime you will work directly with system architects, validation engineers and others on the applications engineering team on configuring SiTime’s flagship timing devices focused on the wireless and datacenter markets.
Your primary focus will be on performance optimization of our PLL devices. This will require extensive lab work and customized scripting, as well as interacting with cross-functional teams, to achieve the best performance possible.
At SiTime, we believe great work deserves great rewards. We offer a comprehensive and highly competitive compensation package designed to attract top talent.
In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for a quarterly bonus tied to the achievement of innovation goals - reflecting our commitment to recognizing meaningful impact. We also offer equity grants, providing a meaningful opportunity to share in the company’s future growth and success.
SiTime is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants. Employment decisions are based on qualifications, merit, and business needs. We do not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by applicable law.
