WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We are looking for a Field Applications Engineer with a strong embedded systems background who can operate comfortably across customer-facing technical sales, technical communications, and hands-on engineering support. This role is ideal for someone who can bridge engineering depth with clear customer communication and help articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. WHAT YOU’LL DO: - Support pre-sales technical engagements with customers and partners - Answer technical customer questions during evaluations, procurement, and integration discussions - Translate customer requirements into clear technical recommendations and solutions - Develop technical materials and written responses for proposals, grant applications, customer documentation, and partner communications - Work closely with engineering and product teams to accurately communicate product capabilities and limitations - Assist with hardware setup, integration, and field support when needed - Represent the company in customer meetings, industry events, and technical discussions WHAT WE NEED: - BS/MS in Electrical En
