About the role
Own and lead our top-priority engagement with a leading semiconductor equipment partner—learning their workflows in depth, identifying high-value AI opportunities, and driving them from concept to deployed solution
Extend our customer footprint across IDMs and foundries, tailoring AI solutions to each customer's fab environment, process steps, and data realities
Run customer POCs end to end—from initial scoping through on-site validation and into contract; define success criteria, manage scope/timelines, and prove measurable value on-site
Drive production rollout and adoption after a successful POC—own the transition from pilot to production, define adoption metrics, and ensure customer engineers integrate and rely on the solution in daily workflows
Work side by side with customer engineers/process owners to uncover bottlenecks in their data & manufacturing flow, and translate them into scalable product requirements
Lead a small team of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs)—set priorities, remove blockers, keep delivery anchored to customer value—while feeding field insights (edge cases, gaps) back into the core product roadmap and supporting business development for contract expansion
