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.\nOur 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.\nJob Summary\nAs a Systems Engineer we are the first in line to work on brand new devices from Silicon Designers before they get into the hands of customers. The devices that SiTime Canada works on are in the timing and high speed signal disciplines, being adopted by wireless communications devices, data centers, and automotive infotainment. This job is for engineers that really want to get into the heart of how things work and understand what it takes for an ASIC to function as part of a larger system. Working closely with design and marketing to understand how a device functions and whether it meets specifications set out by our customers. If you have the skills and desire to work on analog and digital embedded systems, debug and root cause issues as they arise, and build your skills towards a rewarding career in systems engineering then this job is for you.\n Responsibilities:\n Device bring-up for new productsFamiliarizing yourself with PCB design prior to device arrival and ensuring pathways for power, serial communications, in/out signals, etc. are connected properly\nDebugging of devices if they do not appear to be communicating correctly upon arrival\nCollection of some initial data to prove device is alive and functioning\n\nConfirmation of adherence to a set of requirementsUnderstanding the parameters the device must meet to satisfy product marketing\nWorking with design and verification teams to ensure all possible optimizations are being set successfully\nCollection and analysis of characterization data to provide datasheet metrics for customers\nWorking through a list of product requirements to ensure all features are checked fully before releasing to production.\n\nDesign and implementation of automated testsUse python scripts to create automated tests using available lab equipment to verify the functionality of devices\nCollaborate on Gitlab projects across sites to ensure all code is up to date and traceable to commit history\nContribute to device drivers during pre-silicon development to drive the direction of usage in scripts\n\nPCB design and debuggingWhile preparing for a device an evaluation PCB will be designed in house by the systems team to allow interaction with serial communications lines and other signal lines\nReworking surface mount components of size 0402 and 0201, as well as various through hole components\nCreativity in prototyping board improvements or changes as necessary\n\nReport writing and communicationsDuring a device life cycle certain data must be formatted and added to a report\nAutomation testing may also require reporting, or communication through a ticketing system\n\n Qualifications & Requirements: \nEnglish proficiency is required, including the ability to effectively communicate, collaborate, and perform job responsibilities in a professional business environment.\n3rd year or higher pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or adjacent degree.\nFully on-site, no ability for remote work.\nHands on experience with lab equipment (power supplies, frequency counters/generators, oscilloscopes, etc.).\nPython based object oriented programming, familiarity with equipment automation and SCPI commands is a bonus.\nUnderstanding of transmission line theory.\nAbility to solder through hole or surface mount devices down to 0201 size.\nKnowledge of Serial communication is a plus.\nUnderstanding of circuit design and debugging.\n Desired Characteristics & Attributes:\nStrong communication - ability to communicate with colleagues across teams to deliver a clear message about the state of a device and the current lifecycle. This may also include working with design teams to diagnose and debug issues.\nPuzzle solving skills - Given an issue, you must be able to sit and work at the problem to find a root cause and/or a solution to the problem. You are the kind of person that enjoys tinkering with things to find out what makes them tick.\nSelf-reliance - You must be able to work on a task on your own while dealing with any road blocks along the way, there is a careful balance where you are able to know if your wheels too long and you can put your pride aside to reach out for help.\nA desire to learn - Someone who enjoys connecting with colleagues across different teams to learn about their job and impact within a project.
