Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Product Support Engineer with advanced expertise in Altium solutions, PCB design workflows, and enterprise engineering environments. This role serves as a senior technical leader within Customer Support, providing expert support for complex customer-reported issues involving Altium Designer, Altium 365, Enterprise Server technologies, library and data management, and integrations with PLM and other enterprise systems.

• Create technical content such as online help, user guides, video tutorials, knowledge base articles, quick start guides, and similar materials.
• Provide live coaching and assistance to team members.
• Act as a senior technical escalation resource, independently driving resolution of highly complex customer issues and providing technical leadership across multiple product and workflow domains.
• Test pre-release products and features while helping prepare technical teams for upcoming releases.
• Maintain a high level of knowledge and professionalism

• Experience supporting customer environments that include PLM, enterprise data management, authentication systems (e.g., SAML, OAuth, Active Directory), server technologies, or other enterprise engineering platforms is highly desired.
• Experience with Complex PCB Simulation/Signal Integrity/Analysis is a plus
• Experience in technical demonstrations and presenting training materials
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues spanning desktop applications, cloud services, enterprise integrations, authentication systems, and related customer environments.
