This is a product poised for hyper growth, and you can be leading a rapidly growing and hardworking team of technical specialists.

What are we seeking-

Our Technology Solutions Sales organization (TSS) hoping you – as a dynamic technical professional – would be a great fit as an Applications Engineering Manager (AEM) leading a growing team of dedicated field applications engineers in Siemens EDA’s Bangalore office.

We are looking for a successful Aprisa AEM who will work with customers and potential customers to identify technology or operational challenges in their existing physical design flows, and then use developing relationships and deep knowledge to lead the Siemens team to a successful evaluation, sale, and deployment of Aprisa to solve the customers’ problems.

About the role!

• Own the territory technical engagements. Be the arbiter of quality, lead with vision, and collaborate with peers and management on strategy to ensure that the products are successful in your area and beyond.

• Manage relationships with multiple levels of management within customer businesses.
