Meets with customers to understand their SI requirements and concerns. Presents products, test reports, and simulations to customers. Creates test methods/plans and preliminary product specifications that address the customer's requirements and concerns leading to a design win. (Meetings can be at the customer site, during trade shows, via video, web conferencing, etc.)Work with the company's engineering team to optimize designs, create new product designs, and support customer applications. Support the company's research, development, and marketing efforts by helping to identify future industry requirements for connectors/harnesses that pertain to high frequency, high data rate, and EMI applications.Lead the company's research, development, and marketing efforts through participation in, and reporting on, various electronics industry standards group activities, such as IEEE, PCI-SIG, VESA, USB-IF, MIPI, and OIF.Network with trade groups, standards committees, and industry leaders (major chipset and consumer electronics customers) to provide input into the product development and business opportunitiesMonitor working groups, and gather knowledge regarding technical roadmaps, compliance specifications, and the development of industry standards. Create and maintain a library of industry standards and specifications documents.Act as a technical representative to attend trade symposiums and events. Perform support functions like manning the exhibit booth, attending technical seminars, and studying other participants' products and market strategies.Create and maintain a library of SI documents including test reports, simulations, white papers, other technical reports that Sales can easily access to promote our products.
