· Lead customer discussions around new programs, platform expansions, and lifecycle extensions
· Act as a key interface between customers and internal teams (engineering, program management, operations)
· Drive RFQ strategy, pricing alignment, and commercial positioning
· Monitor market trends across ICE, hybrid, and electrified powertrain systems
· Represent the organization at customer meetings, industry events, and technical reviews
· Build long-term, trusted customer partnerships based on credibility and execution
What We’re Looking For
· Proven business development or technical sales experience within automotive powertrain components
· Established, active customer relationships with OEMs and/or Tier 1 suppliers

· Engineering education (Mechanical, Automotive, or related discipline strongly preferred)
· Ability to engage credibly with engineering, purchasing, and program teams
· Experience selling into highly engineered, safety-critical components
· Track record of securing new programs and growing customer accounts
