We operate across multiple high-value industries, including semiconductors, advanced packaging, photonics, MEMS, energy, batteries, quantum technologies, aerospace, and advanced materials R&D. Our platform is designed to accelerate innovation from lab to fab.

The Role

This is a senior individual contributor role .

“Lead” refers to ownership of complex technical sales opportunities, not people management.

You will own the full commercial lifecycle, from qualified opportunity to signed contract, working with technical and executive stakeholders across industries.

This role requires hands‑on execution, technical credibility, and strong commercial drive. You will translate complex scientific capabilities into clear business value and guide customers from early interest to committed engagement.

Mission of this Role

Drive and close high‑value technical deals by converting qualified opportunities into structured commercial engagements and long‑term customer relationships.

Key Responsibilities

Own and drive opportunities from qualification to signed contracts and purchase orders
Convert qualified leads and strategic target accounts into commercial outcomes (need to go back in for clarification of actual conversion of opportunities)
Lead technical discovery with R&D, engineering, and executive stakeholders
Identify and articulate the customer’s business case (e.g., cost, speed, yield, time‑to‑market, strategic advantage)
Define, structure and commercially drive PoCs, pilots, and validation pathways to advance deals
Develop and present proposals linking technical capabilities to commercial impact
Navigate complex, multi‑stakeholder sales and procurement processes
Collaborate cross‑functionally with applications, R&D, product, and leadership teams
Maintain pipeline momentum, forecasting accuracy, and deal execution.

Your Profile

You have experience selling complex technical platforms where both technical understanding and business case clarity are critical to closing deals.

What Success Looks Like Success means converting qualified opportunities into signed agreements, progressing customers from technical interest to PoCs, pilots, and equipment sales, expanding initial use cases into broader engagements, and maintaining accurate pipeline ownership and forecasting.

Technical Background

Degree in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Semiconductor/Electrical Engineering, or similar or equivalent industry experience in technical sales, applications, or engineering
Ability to:
- Engage credibly with engineers, scientists, and R&D leaders
- Understand concepts such as materials processing, thin films, and fabrication workflows
- Translate technical capabilities into clear commercial value.
- Lead technical discovery conversations without relying entirely on internal experts.
7+ years in technical B2B sales, capital equipment, or deep‑tech environments
Proven track record of closing complex, high‑value deals with long sales cycles
Experience in one or more relevant industries (e.g., semiconductors, advanced materials, MEMS, photonics, energy, aerospace)
Experience managing full deal cycles (PoC → pilot → validation → negotiation → close)
Strong pipeline management and forecasting discipline
Excellent communication skills and ability to operate across global stakeholders
