Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Providing high-end interconnect solutions tailored to customer requirements including connectors, cable solutions and mid board optics to Canadian tech companies. Cover the entirety of Canada and help support the US when required. Collaborate with product management teams to come up with new products that meet customer needs. Work on custom products when the need arises, and help customers determine a feasible solution. Provide signal integrity expertise on bleeding edge designs (upwards of 112G PAM4 today), perform some simulation work using Samtec-designed software (s-parameter based), and collaborate closely with the Samtec signal integrity team.Provide solutions that work for the intended system and give innovative feedback on how a design could be improved, whether for performance, cost, size, etc. Always approach a customer’s problem by looking at the entire system and needs, and not just our product catalog. Review customer schematics and provide mechanical analysis by using modelling tools such as Fusion360. Provide a variety of technical and product training to customers, sales team, product management, and other teams within Samtec. Topics include signal integrity, vertical market design approaches, technical benefits of certain technologies (like flyover cables and fibre optics), etc.Attend trade shows and collaborate with technical marketing in providing industry and technology/design expertise. Hands on work with demos including the use of FPGA development boards and software.
