   Enable sales with product training on positioning, competitive differentiators, and field-ready materials that support evaluations through design win and production ramp.
   Serve as a primary customer interface for business discussions and initial technical questions; support key evaluations, demos, trade shows, and customer visits.
   Identify and evaluate partner relationships and channel opportunities (platform OEMs, payload integrators, etc.) that strengthen the product line's right-to-win.
   Perform other duties as assigned.

   Strong knowledge of manufacturing, quality, and engineering processes to support technical product and customer engagements.
   Excellent written and verbal communication skills; strong presentation and executive briefing skills.
   Understanding of Marketing Communications and Product Marketing; ability to collaborate on collateral such as application briefs, integration guides, case studies, and data sheets.
