About the role

Astera Labs is seeking a Principal Product Application Engineer to guide ODMs in overcoming design challenges and to generate collateral for existing and new products. The role drives innovation by providing feedback to internal teams and coordinating with FAE and sales for customer communication. You will bring 10+ years in designing complex SoC/silicon products with high-speed PCIe interfaces and own PCIe/industry standards. Global travel and lab-based debugging are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
