As a Global Product Manager for Material Control Systems (MCS) at Applied Materials, you'll work with a team to set the vision and direction for Applied's MCS products. You have significant manufacturing experience and deeply understand how the MCS is used in conjunction with Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) within manufacturing and the value these bring to manufacturers. You have a strong vision for what MCS "should" be and knowledge of the competitors in the MCS and AMHS space, with the ability to compare and contrast their strengths and weaknesses.

You also have an affinity for collaborating with customers to understand their needs and pain points, and the ability to transform that into tangible product roadmap requirements that benefit all customers. You have the ability to communicate clearly and calmly during customer conversations, and the emotional intelligence to understand the customer's perspective and the underlying motivations driving their needs.

You'll use these skills to build both external and internal consensus to drive Applied's MCS product roadmap. You'll perform market and competitive analysis; build cost and pricing models; develop strategy to increase market growth; and coordinate with global Sales, Engineering, and Support teams in executing the strategy. You'll become a "super-user" of Applied's MCS products and the go-to subject matter expert.

Along the way you'll create marketing collateral, write manufacturing-related blog posts, conduct product-related webinars and user groups, speak at industry events, and travel to customer sites to build relationships and learn about customer needs.
