The Story

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a strategic growth area for Siemens EDA in the sales deployment of a successful technology – Aprisa Place and Route – recently acquired by Siemens. This is a product poised for hypergrowth and you can be part of a rapidly growing and enthusiastic team of technical sales professionals.

The Job

Our Technology Solutions Sales organization (TSS) hires dynamic sales professionals as Account Technology Managers (ATMs). An ATM is the primary link between the sales organization and our customers. It is both a deeply technical role and one that requires entrepreneurial thinking, a strategic understanding of the market, and a flexible approach to tactical sales execution. You will also need to remain highly organized in a rapidly changing environment, juggle multiple considerations in quick decision-making and prioritization situations, and manage professional relationships inside and outside the organization.

Successful Aprisa ATMs work with customers and potential customers to identify technology or operational challenges in their existing physical design flows, 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.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following:

• Develop the overall product strategy along with the field technical management to achieve business targets and strategic objectives, including the construction of a top-down and bottom-up plan account by account within a territory

• Define and manage all of elements of any technical campaign - decision process, success criteria, committed usage upon success, run rate impact, applications engineer resources needed – all towards solving customers problem

Who You Are

• You’re enthralled with technology but entrepreneurial-minded. You love understanding why people value (or don’t) certain technologies. You especially enjoy changing their minds.
• The experience of uncovering information about what someone needs or believes they need is fun and intriguing. You revel in aligning those expectations with what your company can deliver and becoming their trusted advisor and go-to expert.
• You find managing campaigns to closure rewarding, not just in the final stages, but throughout. Ensuring that technical sales campaigns are well-designed, on-track, and ultimately successful is a complex task involving communication, strategy, and administration: this all appeals.
• You enjoy talking to people. You can guide your colleagues to success by framing problems effectively and collaborating to reach solutions. You lead with empathy. These skills translate among customers and co-workers equally.
• You face each challenge methodically and optimistically to maximize success and you manage risks appropriately. In the end, you believe firmly in results.

What You’ve Done

• You have a BSc. in Electrical or Computer Engineering. If you have a Master’s, you have an advantage in applying.
• You have five or more years of experience in EDA or the IC design space.
• You have previously worked in customer-facing roles, ideally as an AE or another technical sales role. You can tell stories about successfully developing customer relationships or managing difficult gaps in expectations.
• You have hands-on expertise in RTL to tape-out digital implementation, including synthesis, place-and-route, PPA closure, and related sign-off verification. This comes with an in-depth knowledge of FinFET-related PPA and time-to-results challenges as well as an understanding of the digital implementation tool market, industry operation, and competitive offerings.

Siemens Fremont

This position is based in Fremont, California. Like most sales positions, this one requires travel. Most travel will be in the Bay Area, but some elsewhere.

Siemens has a hybrid home/office policy, and you are encouraged to spend at least two days a week available to your colleagues in our lovely Fremont campus, which is also available for hosting customers. The site includes a cafeteria and numerous amenities, including training and conference rooms.

While this job has flexible hours to accommodate family and personal commitments, it’s fundamentally customer-focused and you’ll need to be available to address concerns and opportunities daily.
