This role combines a strong engineering background with project execution and technical-sales experience — the successful candidate will manage active customer accounts, translate customer requirements into project charters and technical specifications, and represent the voice of the customer back to internal engineering and design teams. This is a full-time, 100% in-office role based in St. Louis, MO.

• Requirements Management: Translate customer logistical and interface requirements into verifiable system architectures and technical specifications.

• Project Execution: Develop pre-project approval documents, including project charters, project management plans, and milestone schedules.

• Case Studies: Prepare customer-specific case studies derived from routes, volumes, and operational profiles.

• Risk Management: Monitor project progress, identify risks and issues, and implement appropriate mitigation strategies.

• Technical Support: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for one or more active customer accounts; establish rapport and acceptance with customer stakeholders and operators.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with internal engineering and design teams, communicating voice-of-customer feedback into product development.

• Comfortable serving as a primary technical point of contact for external customers.

• Willingness to expand into technical areas beyond your area of expertise and develop innovative and novel approaches.
