The role

• Our clients are CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and founders facing high-stakes hardware decisions. You will be the trusted advisor they want at the table when those decisions are made. You will lead discovery and strategy conversations, reframe the challenge at hand, and recommend a path forward that clients can act on with confidence. Where the work is the right fit, you will show them why Kickmaker is the partner best positioned to deliver.
• This is an advisory role with true commercial ownership. Clients will listen because you have built hardware yourself, and they will act on your guidance because you know how to make a compelling case at the executive level.

What you'll do

• Lead technical strategy discussions with senior client stakeholders, constructively challenging assumptions to drive better outcomes
• Shape and defend proposals, with a focus on architecture, make-vs-buy decisions, design for manufacturing (DFM), and industrialization trade-offs
• Own Tier 0 strategic accounts and grow them across the full product lifecycle, from prototype through EVT, DVT, and PVT to mass production
• Generate new opportunities by leveraging Kickmaker’s network, industry events, and your own thought leadership, and drive them through to signature
