- Structure and lead customer presentations, from on-site user workshops to extremely polished executive presentations
- Own technical strategy for winning government solicitations and contractor engagements
- Have purview across all engagements to analyze market trends and inform overall strategy of the Defense business
We're looking for someone who has:
- 5+ years of experience in a technical, strategy or customer engagement role in a defense, robotics, or software organizations
- Hands-on experience with simulation and AI/ML data products
- References who will describe them as low-ego, highly motivated, thoughtfully opinionated, strong communicators and curious listeners
