• Track and report on competitor products and market activity to inform the marketing team
• Apply the Know Your Customer (KYC) methodology to analyze accounts and surface strategic opportunities
• Submit monthly deliverables: sales call plans, call reports, KYC analyses, and territory forecasts (wins and losses)
• Support product and marketing teams with field input on literature, newsletters, and technical bulletins

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Materials Science, Chemical, or related field)
• 3+ years of experience in the PCB fabrication industry or a closely related manufacturing sector

• A self‑directed territory owner who plans proactively and follows through consistently
• A collaborative partner who loops in the right internal resources at the right time
• Someone who is genuinely curious about customer applications and motivated by solving real problems
