Application Engineering Manager

• Feb 2015 - Present

I am the person you will call when you need results. I am the one who will pinpoint precisely which motor controller you need for your application. I will work one-on-one with you to tune that controller to perform better than you can imagine is possible. I am the resource who will connect you with the industry experts for every peripheral you need to bring your vision to life. I support the installation, programming, and tuning of the evaluation kit for all new customers, bringing a positive experience of our controller to the customer. I will work with you individually, on your timezone to help you deliver what you've promised. I am asked to travel on very short notice to all corners of the world to support our product in the field. After the successful configuration of the controller in your system, I will remain your point person to ensure an exceptional experience throughout the entire life cycle of your product.If there are issues that I cannot solve, I become a liaison between the customer and the hardware, software and mechanical engineering departments to find a solution for you.
