Ambiq's mission is to enable intelligence everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. Ambiq is a pioneer and a leading provider of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions based on our proprietary and patented sub- and near-threshold technologies. With the increasing power requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) computing, our customers are relying on our solutions to deliver AI to edge environments. Our hardware and software innovations fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs without expensive process geometry scaling. We began in 2010 by addressing the power consumption challenges of battery-powered devices at the edge, where they were most pronounced. As of the beginning of 2025, we've shipped more than 280+ million units worldwide.
Our innovative and fast-moving teams of design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations are spread across several continents, including the US (Austin), Taiwan (Hsinchu), China (Shanghai and Shenzhen), and Singapore. We value relentless technology innovation, a deep commitment to customer success, collaborative problem-solving, and an enthusiastic pursuit of energy efficiency. We embrace candidates who also share these same values. The successful candidate must be self-motivated, creative, and comfortable learning and driving exciting new technologies. We encourage and nurture an environment that fosters growth and opportunities to work on complex, meaningful, and challenging projects, creating a lasting impact and shaping the future of technology. Join us on our quest for enabling billions of intelligent devices. The intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
Ambiq designs ultra-low-power MCUs and Edge AI SoCs that power next-generation embedded and wearable devices.
We are hiring a Senior Technical Documentation Engineer to develop and own the customer-facing technical documentation for our MCU platforms.
This role sits at the intersection of architecture, hardware design, software engineering, validation, and applications — translating complex silicon behavior into precise, field-ready technical documentation.
This is not generic technical writing.
This role requires embedded systems understanding and the ability to interpret schematics, reference manuals, and system-level behavior.
Author and maintain:
Datasheets
Reference manuals
Errata documentation
Hardware user guides
Application notes
Collaborate closely with architecture, hardware, software, validation, and applications teams to gather and verify technical content
Interpret electrical specifications and peripheral behavior accurately
Track device-level issues raised internally or by customers and determine documentation impact
Coordinate structured cross-functional documentation reviews
Maintain document revision history and version control
Manage documentation projects using Jira and Confluence
Assist with knowledgebase articles, hardware design guidelines, and field-facing technical materials
You will play a critical role in ensuring that Ambiq’s silicon is clearly, accurately, and professionally represented to customers.
What We’re Looking ForRequiredBS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
3+ years of experience developing technical documentation for embedded systems or MCU products
Strong proficiency with Adobe FrameMaker and Microsoft Word
Experience managing documentation workflows using Jira
Strong understanding of embedded systems from both hardware and software perspectives
Working knowledge of ARM Cortex-M processors
Ability to describe MCU peripherals such as SPI, I2C, UART clearly and accurately
Ability to read and understand PCB schematics
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Excellent organizational and revision management discipline
Experience contributing to SoC datasheets or reference manuals
Familiarity with git or revision control systems
Experience with Confluence or documentation management tools
Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., LLMs) to accelerate research and draft development
Clear, accurate documentation is critical to customer success.
This role ensures:
Field engineers have correct usage guidance
Customers understand device limitations and errata
New MCU family members are documented consistently
Technical issues are communicated effectively and professionally
You will work directly with engineering teams in Austin and play a visible role in how Ambiq engages with customers globally.
