To support our growing client base, we are looking for a key account manager with strong background in FPGA technology. The ideal candidate will have been an FAE for one of the leading FPGA vendors, combined with domain specific experience in one or more of the following areas: RF (radar, telecom, sig-int) image processing as well as heterogeneous acceleration systems. Extensive prior technical experience with FPGA’s is a prerequisite.

Excellent communications skills in English are a must, additional language skills are an advantage.

The role requires the ability to competently identify client’s technical needs and determine if those needs can be fulfilled by existing KR products and services. In case of a match, the key account manager will ensure that the customer is properly being served, from quote to completion of the engagement with KR. If there is no preexisting solution within the existing KR portfolio, the account manager will analyze the possibility that there could be a new business opportunity which can reliably be executed by KR to meet the client’s needs.

The key account manager is the point of first contact for customers and acts as the liaison between the customer and KR offerings. While that contact should lead to sales for KR, it is not a sales position in the traditional sense where products are pushed. The stance at KR is passive, one of presenting ability and merit of products with the goal of leading customers to choose us due to supported facts rather than “bling” or marketing tricks. This requires the future account manager to acquire an in-depth knowledge of KR’s offerings and become proficient in their application across a wide range of industries.

KR offers a stimulating work environment, competitive compensation with profit sharing and flexible work hours for a 60-80% position.
