· Stay informed on emerging RFID technologies, middleware platforms, and partner offerings to continuously enhance industry knowledge

· Participate in customer meetings and site visits as the technical subject matter expert (SME)

· Provide post-deployment support and assist in knowledge transfer to customers and internal teams

· Identify additional opportunities for upsell or cross-sell through technical engagement and relationship building

Skills & Experience Required

· Proven experience designing and implementing RFID systems (e.g., Zebra, Impinj, Nordic ID), including reader configuration, antenna placement, and environmental tuning

· Solid background in enterprise mobility, barcode scanning, and edge computing technologies

· Strong working knowledge of RTLS principles, middleware platforms and system integration

· Familiarity with software platforms such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), RFID middleware, and Asset Management systems

· Experience conducting customer-facing workshops, and technical discovery sessions

· Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for a range of audiences

· Strong time management skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively across departments

· Proficient in technical documentation, proposal writing, and solution diagrams

· Exposure to MDM platforms such as 42Gears or SOTI

· Experience across multiple verticals (e.g., logistics, warehousing, retail, field services) with flexibility to adapt to different customer environments
