- Lead customer projects with input from Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Certification, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, and the Engineering Technician/Draftsperson.
- Obtain and document competitive intelligence from customers, aircraft surveys, trade shows, win/loss reviews, incumbent product reviews, and market feedback to support product roadmap decisions, proposal strategy, and customer-specific value propositions.
- Cost proposals and support the Business Development Manager with technical responses to RFIs, RFQs, RFPs, technical clarifications, customer questions, product comparisons, installation assumptions, and certification assumptions.
