  • Experience supporting customers in a technical role is a plus
Who You Are
  • You break down a thermal bottleneck or simulation error methodically, asking the right questions and staying focused on root cause
  • You can explain the difference between a CFD solver setting and a physical design constraint without losing your audience
  • You're comfortable juggling multiple priorities-support tickets, training, field-testing-without letting quality slip
  • You look for the "why" behind a customer's workflow, not just the "how," and tailor your guidance to their real needs
  • You thrive in teams where expertise is shared, and you enjoy mentoring others as much as you enjoy learning yourself
  • You stay curious about new technologies and are ready to try, test, and advocate for better ways of working
