• Deliver engaging product demonstrations and technical presentations to showcase the value and capabilities of GE Aerospace's SaaS offerings.
• Lead PoC initiatives, guiding customers through the evaluation process and ensuring successful implementation of trial solutions.
• Work closely with product management and engineering teams to provide customer feedback and influence product development.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including solution designs, integration guides, and FAQs, to support the sales process.
• Provide training and technical enablement to sales teams and partners, ensuring they are equipped to articulate the value of SaaS solutions.
• Ensure all proposed solutions adhere to GE Aerospace's SQDC priorities, with safety as the top priority.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Aerospace or other relevant field.
• Proven experience in a flight, technical pre-sales or solutions engineering role, preferably in a SaaS or cloud-based business.

Skills

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to travel up to 40% of time to visit customers.

Desired Skills

• Strong background in software architecture, cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and API integration.
• Proficiency in programming (e.g., Python, JavaScript) and familiarity with SaaS platforms.
