The Story
There is a unique opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a major expansion of EDA sales, support, and R&D with the establishment of the Siemens Centre of Excellence in Saskatoon, Canada. This site's unique cultural environment with supportive colleagues, team-based work environments, and deep community involvement makes it one of the most attractive employment opportunities in North America. This year, the site is scheduled to expand further, doubling its footprint from its current 150 employees, and growing the EDA products they build and support.
One of those products is Aprisa, a technological breakthrough in Place & Route software and a recent acquisition by Siemens. Aprisa is poised for hypergrowth with a potential market in the billions; this will be like working for a start-up with the resources of a multinational.
You can be part of this growth.
The Job
Siemens EDA is looking for an experienced Place & Route user or Applications Engineer to be the anchor of a brand-new team of Application Engineers in the Canadian Global Centre of Excellence in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. You will be the key technologist on the team, leading by example and through training a new team of fresh engineers, most likely hired from the University of Saskatchewan's excellent College of Engineering. You will report to an experienced EDA manager in Saskatoon who will be utterly dedicated to your success and the success of the team. Together, the two of you will build on an established culture of excellence in Applications Engineering to train new AEs and win P&R engagements around the world through remote work and travel.
You probably already know that an AE is the primary link between the customer, the sales team, and R&D, but this role will require even more of you. Aprisa is a rapidly growing product so there won't be an established lane for you, you'll be working closely with a highly dynamic team, innovating on business processes and filling holes where needed. You'll interact regularly with marketing, R&D, sales, technical support, customer experience, and many different customer stakeholders. It will be enormously challenging and enormously fun.
The job has flexible hours and will not require overtime. You will meet customer expectations by working as part of a team, not by being a hero. When you must occasionally shift your time to work with European or PacRim/Indian customers, you'll be able to take corresponding time in lieu. The hours are flexible to accommodate family and personal commitments, but in return, you'll be a little more available to communications outside of normal working periods. This is a new team, so face-to-face time will be important, but you'll be welcome to work some days at home if you'd like. You'll also need to travel to meet customers and colleagues at times. Some of this will be quite a lot of fun, other times it will be a lot of work.
