About the Role

As an ​​Industry Account Manager​​, you will drive Altium’s enterprise solution adoption within ​​strategic verticals (automotive, white goods)​​, acting as a ​​domain expert​​ to bridge PCB design solutions with clients’ product lifecycle needs. Your role will ​​orchestrate upstream-downstream ecosystems​​ (OEMs, ODMs, component suppliers) to embed Altium 365 SaaS solutions into industry workflows, paving the way for future hardware-software synergies post-Renesas acquisition.

​​Key Responsibilities​​

1. ​​Industry-Specific Solution Selling​​
• Develop ​​vertical playbooks​​ for automotive (e.g., EV powertrain PCB design) and white goods (e.g., IoT control boards), aligning Altium 365’s ​​Active Manufacturing​​ and ​​DFM tools​​ with industry pain points (e.g., design-for-cost in automotive, rapid prototyping in appliances).
• Partner with Renesas/Xilinx FAEs to ​​co-design reference solutions​​ (e.g., combining Altium Designer with Renesas MCUs for automotive ECUs).
2. ​​Ecosystem Penetration​​
• Map ​​decision hierarchies​​ across OEM R&D, ODMs, and EMS providers, leveraging Altium’s ​​PLM integration​​ (post-Perception acquisition) to streamline design-to-production workflows.
• Launch ​​joint business planning​​ with tier-1 suppliers (e.g., Bosch, Midea) to standardize Altium tools in their supplier qualification criteria.
3. ​​GTM Execution​​
• Lead ​​pilot projects​​ demonstrating ROI: e.g., 30% faster PCB turnaround via Altium 365’s ​​real-time DFM checks​​ for automotive Tier-2s.
• Design ​​industry-tailored campaigns​​: Technical workshops on HDI design for automotive; webinars on IoT security compliance for smart appliances.
4. ​​Cross-Functional Collaboration​​
• Feed industry trends (e.g., automotive zonal architectures) to product teams, prioritizing feature requests (e.g., enhanced thermal simulation for white goods).
• Enable sales teams with ​​competitive battle cards​​ (vs. Cadence/Mentor) highlighting Altium’s ​​SaaS-hardware integration​​ (e.g., Renesas chipset compatibility).

​​Qualifications​​

• ​​Experience:​​ 8+ years in ​​EDA/industrial tech sales​​, with deep expertise in ​​automotive​​ (e.g., working with BYD, Geely) or ​​white goods​​ (e.g., Haier, Gree).
• ​​Skills:​​
• ​​Technical:​​ Understands PCB design workflows (e.g., Altium Designer’s ​​rigid-flex capabilities​​ for automotive dashboards).
• ​​Commercial:​​ Negotiated ​​ELA agreements​​ with ODMs; fluent in ​​value-based selling​​ frameworks (e.g., MEDDIC).
• ​​Traits:​​ “Consultant” mindset with ​​ecosystem-building skills​​; bilingual in English and Mandarin.
