  • Ability to work in an international team environment.
  • Ability to travel for site visits, short-term, or long-term assignments.
  • Technical leadership competencies (i.e., application of technical knowledge, mentor, innovation, support product marketing, communication, industry influence, customer orientation, teamwork).

Beneficial:

  • Master of Science (M.S.) degree
  • Proficiency in other languages
