  • Work closely with Sales & Marketing teams to drive design-win success, customer engagement strategies, and technical influence across key accounts.
  • Collaborate with global engineering, R&D, and US headquarters to align APAC needs with product roadmaps and innovation priorities.
  • Provide advanced technical guidance on passive component solutions, application challenges, failure analysis, and optimisation pathways.
  • Serve as the escalation point for complex customer technical issues, demonstrating strong analytical and structured problem‑solving capability.
