Develop and apply a deep understanding of both the customer base and R&D team to ensure rapid transfer of knowledge.
Support the development of new products and manage new product pipelines in close collaboration with business development team.
Support business development engagements as a technical representative of the company.
Anticipate internal and external friction points, and rally resources to solve problems before they occur.
Oversee field testing (planning, logistics, execution) of new and modified products and ensure seamless communication among stakeholders to rapidly field final product versions.
Compose white papers, proposals, and reports for customers and stakeholders to create new business and communicate progress for ongoing business.
Skills, Background and Experience
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, materials science, optics, or relevant technical discipline. (Software engineering backgrounds are not aligned with this role.)
Proven track record as a strong leader, including successful management of multiple tasks, with prioritization, timeline/milestones, and results.

Multi- disciplinary technical background.
Military background preferred
Experience in textiles preferred.
Strong analytical and effective problem-solving skills to cope with an intense and dynamic environment.
