Job Summary

The primary responsibility of this position is to assist sales personnel in managing the technical aspects of the sales process directed primarily at customers working on Test and Measurement applications.

The Applications Engineer is responsible for demonstrating his/her knowledge during sales meetings, conference calls, through the delivery of public seminars, and in the development of complex product demonstrations.

This position also requires that the Applications Engineer is able to work with existing power users to answer their questions and assist them in the most efficient and proper use of MathWorks products once deployed.

The MathWorks core software platforms, MATLAB and Simulink, form the foundation of an Integrated Measurement Environment. The integration of data analysis, algorithm development, modeling and simulation, automatic code generation, and reporting into a single software environment is becoming essential for companies competing in the global marketplace.

The successful Test and Measurement Applications Engineer will build on his/her experiences in multiple stages of the engineering development process (design, analysis, and testing), to understand and effectively communicate the benefits of the Integrated Measurement Environment.

Responsibilities

1. Providing technical pre-sales support and guidance to The MathWorks North American Sales Organization. Working as a team, the Applications Engineer assists the salesperson in understanding and synthesizing customer requirements, then explaining the features and capabilities of our products relative to the customer's specific needs.

2. Preparing and delivering product presentations to customers and prospects. These are delivered during customer meetings and marketing seminars. These "product-centric" sessions include, but are not limited to live demonstrations of MATLAB, the Test and Measurement Toolboxes, and related products.

3. Developing demonstration programs, application examples, and simulations. These are generally used to clearly demonstrate how the capabilities of The MathWorks software address the concerns of our customers. These demonstrations may be used for sales visits, marketing seminars, or telephone/web customer support.

4. Analyzing users problems to recommend and demonstrate the best computational approach. Occasionally, customers who are preparing to acquire software require guidance on how to use evaluation products. This requires assisting customers with the use of MATLAB programs directed at solving specific problems. An Applications Engineer with a broad understanding across engineering disciplines is viewed as having exceptional value as The MathWorks customers span a broad range of industries, disciplines, and applications.

5. Accountability of project quality, timing and effort including the submission of trip or engagement reports as well as weekly activity reports.

Qualifications

• This person should possess an advanced Engineering degree and have significant experience in developing and using PC-based test and measurement systems. Very strong knowledge of (and enthusiasm for!) MATLAB is essential; experience with a broad set of MathWorks products (including the Data Acquisition Toolbox, Instrument Control Toolbox, Image Acquisition Toolbox, and Simulink) is a plus.
• The candidate should have a demonstrated ability to perform computational analysis, modeling, and simulation tasks and be able to discuss how our products are used to solve engineering and business problems. A qualified candidate will be able to effectively communicate his/her passion for The MathWorks software to our customers. Candidates should be interested in working directly with customers to help them understand how to apply our products to their problems.
• Travel is generally throughout North America specific to various seminars, customer visits, etc. Though far less frequent, some international travel is expected. The candidate should expect to travel about 30-40% of the time with trips generally no longer than four days.
• U.S. Citizenship Required
