Sense the power of light

ams OSRAM is a global leader in innovative light and sensor solutions. “Sense the power of light” – our success is based on our deep understanding of the potential of light. By adding intelligence to light, we enable our customers to drive transformative applications. Our around 20,000 employees worldwide focus on innovation alongside the societal megatrends of digitalization, smart living, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Whatever your role is, you are a part of a talented team that enjoys exploring and designing new technologies.

Your new responsibilities

-Product Definition  (Analog/Mixed‑Signal Focus)

  • Translate customer and market requirements in areas like sensor interfaces, analog front ends (AFE), data converters (ADC/DAC), signal conditioning, mixed‑signal processing, and low‑power sensing systems into clear product specifications.
  • Develop reference architectures and system‑level concepts for new analog/mixed‑signal ICs and sensor solutions, such as signal‑chain modules, smart sensors, and integrated sensor subsystems.
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to define product feature sets, performance targets (noise, offset, drift, sampling rate, linearity, sensor dynamic range, etc.), and competitive positioning.
  • Perform system‑level analysis and tradeoff evaluations for sensing and mixed‑signal applications (power vs. noise, bandwidth vs. resolution, latency vs. accuracy, etc.).

-Customer Engagement 

  • Act as a strategic technical interface with customers in sensor systems, industrial measurement, consumer sensing, automotive sensing, IoT devices, and mixed‑signal applications.
  • Provide pre‑sales technical support focusing on sensor signal‑chain solutions, mixed‑signal integration strategies, and analog subsystem requirements.
  • Gather customer insights and market trends—sensor technologies, analog performance demands, mixed‑signal integration directions—to shape future product definitions.
  • Deliver technical presentations, signal‑chain solution proposals, and system‑level demonstrations tailored to analog/mixed‑signal applications.

-System Solution Development

  • Build and validate end‑to‑end analog/mixed‑signal system solutions, including sensor interfaces, low‑noise signal paths, data-conversion chains, power conditioning, and mixed‑signal evaluation platforms.
  • Develop prototypes and system evaluation platforms demonstrating IC performance in real sensor environments (pressure, proximity, current/voltage sensing, MEMS sensors, environmental sensors, etc.).
  • Ensure smooth integration of new IC products into sensing systems, partnering closely with R&D to verify real‑world applicability.

-Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Work with analog/mixed‑signal design teams to ensure system requirements—noise, accuracy, dynamic range, timing, power—are correctly translated into design specifications.
  • Support marketing with competitive benchmarking in sensor ICs, analog signal chains, mixed‑signal SoCs, and sensor‑system solutions.
  • Contribute to technical collateral including application notes, sensor‑signal‑chain guides, reference designs, and system white papers.

-Internal & External Training

  • Provide training on analog front ends, sensor interfaces, mixed‑signal architectures, and system‑level design best practices.
  • Create high‑quality documentation highlighting system‑level benefits and use‑cases for analog/mixed‑signal ICs and sensing applications.


Who we are looking for


  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Analog IC Engineering, Mechatronics, or related fields.
  • at least 7 years related work experence
  • Solid understanding of analog circuits, mixed‑signal architectures, ADC/DAC fundamentals, sensor interfaces, and signal‑chain design.
  • Experience in applications engineering, system engineering, or product definition, preferably involving analog or mixed‑signal ICs and sensor products.
  • Strong analytical skills for system‑level evaluation (noise budgeting, filtering, sampling, linearity, timing).
  • Excellent communication skills for interacting with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Preferred

  • Hands‑on experience with sensor systems, analog front-end design, mixed‑signal evaluation boards, and lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, precision measurement tools).
  • Familiarity with sensor physics (MEMS, temperature, pressure, current sensing, capacitive sensors, etc.) is a plus.
  • Knowledge of competitive products in the analog/mixed‑signal signal‑chain or sensor IC market.
  • Experience with data converters, low‑noise design, power management for sensors, or system modeling tools.

Soft Skills

  • Strong ownership and the ability to drive system‑level product concepts from idea to definition.
  • Customer‑centric mindset and strong problem‑solving skills.
  • Comfortable in fast‑moving environments with evolving requirements.
  • Strong ability to influence and collaborate across cross‑functional teams.
