Partner with Regional Sales Managers to identify, develop, and close new business opportunities.
Drive technical design wins by understanding customer applications and recommending the most effective Amphenol solutions.
Support customers throughout the complete product development cycle, from concept and design through qualification and production.
Collaborate with Engineering, Product Management, and Manufacturing to develop customized solutions that meet customer requirements.
Conduct customer visits, technical presentations, product demonstrations, and design reviews.

Influence customer design decisions by demonstrating the value and technical advantages of Amphenol products.
Support new product launches and communicate customer feedback to internal engineering and product development teams.
Maintain awareness of industry trends, competitive products, and emerging technologies to identify new growth opportunities.
Travel regularly to customer sites to strengthen relationships and support business development activities.
