You will guide the value and strategic fit of the assigned product family and then work with the account teams to establish the proper sales goals and strategy. Providing competitive updates to the field and helping develop impeding strategies will also be part of your role. You will establish dialogue with marketing and management teams of the assigned product lines, updating them on the progress of the agreed-upon objectives and market dynamics as well as competitive inputs. Modifying evaluation boards as required for a customer demo, delivering the demo to the customer site, and “bringing up” and debugging customer boards in the lab will be necessary tasks. You will conduct schematic/layout reviews on-site with customers, understand competitive offerings, and use detailed product understanding to overcome customer obstacles. Leading the effort for technical discovery on key customer designs will be a significant part of your responsibilities, and you must establish a close relationship with designers, component engineers, the local rep sales team, and distributors.
