Key Responsibilities
Market & Customer Requirements Leadership
· Build expertise in precision electrical power measurement technologies and workflows across R&D, design verification, production, and standards-driven testing, including:
· Power analyzers, wattmeters, voltage/current sensing, measurement uncertainty, calibration, and traceability.
· AC/DC power, efficiency and loss measurements, harmonics, power factor, energy integration, and dynamic operating conditions.
· EV traction inverters, onboard and DC fast charging, battery systems, motors/drives, and industrial power conversion.
· Solar/PV and battery inverters, renewable energy systems, grid-interactive equipment, and data center power distribution and conversion.
· Identify emerging needs and customer pain points; translate them into regional product requirements, application priorities, and differentiated value propositions.
· Engage key customers and ecosystem partners to understand testing challenges involving high efficiency, high voltage/current, high-frequency switching, and repeatable measurement results.
Product Strategy & Lifecycle Management
· Create and execute an annual product business plan with target segments, growth initiatives, success metrics, and regular progress reviews.
· Lead regional product lifecycle management, including roadmap feedback, positioning, pricing input, launch readiness, and end-of-life transitions.
· Define competitive differentiation in measurement accuracy, bandwidth, usability, synchronization, reliability, and total solution value.
Marketing & Go-to-Market Execution
· Develop technically credible marketing and sales content, including:
· Webinars and application notes on inverter efficiency, motor-drive testing, EV charging, power conversion, and harmonics.
· Technical papers and educational content on current measurement, measurement uncertainty, efficiency testing, and relevant IEC/IEEE methods.
· Trade-show and customer-demo strategies with realistic devices under test (DUTs), measurement setups, and compelling application stories.
· Work with regional and global marketing on web content, demonstrations, brochures, videos, webinars, press releases, campaigns, and industry events; evaluate program ROI.
· Position Yokogawa as a trusted leader in accurate, repeatable, traceable, and application-relevant precision power measurement.
Sales Enablement & Commercial Support
· Produce pitch decks, competitive comparisons, application guides, training resources, customer references, and opportunity-specific sales tools.
· Partner with sales and application engineers on strategic opportunities, account planning, technical qualification, and customer-facing engagements.
· Equip channel partners and field teams to articulate measurement value beyond instrument specifications, including solution fit and customer outcomes.
Strategic Accounts & Industry Influence
· Build relationships with automotive OEMs and suppliers, inverter and motor-drive manufacturers, energy and power equipment companies, universities, and national/research laboratories.
· Track relevant measurement standards, test methods, and industry organizations; represent customer requirements and technical trends within Yokogawa.
· Develop partnerships with current sensor providers, test-system integrators, and other complementary ecosystem participants.
Success Measures
· Revenue growth, product mix, and market penetration for precision power analyzers in priority industries and strategic accounts.
· Marketing impact, including qualified lead contribution, technical-content engagement, sales enablement adoption, and campaign ROI.
· Execution of the annual business plan, product launches, roadmap feedback, and measurable progress on strategic opportunities.
