Technical & Commercial Blend
- Demonstrate sufficient technical depth to independently engage engineering consultants and contractors.
- Discuss system concepts, architecture, and integration without constant escalation to Engineering.
- Operate with a strong commercial mindset, balancing technical rigor with sales efficiency and customer value.
- Function as an externally facing extension of Applications Engineering with a clear revenue focus.
Collaboration & Reporting

- Commercial Sales team
- Applications Engineers and Technical Leads for advanced technical support
