In a multidisciplinary team, you will be responsible for enthusing (potential) clients about our innovative technologies, and for successful implementation of our technology in the products of our customers.

• Together with our Head of Marketing and Business Development and Program Director, you define appealing value propositions and develop marketing materials, and you join (global) trade show visits to bring the message across.
• As the team is small, collaboration and helping each other is key to achieve our goals on various projects and topics. We share ideas and results, spark creativity, and drill down on fundamental problems.
