Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of professional experience, including as an electrical engineer (design and/or test) working in industry – at a leading company in Aerospace, Automotive or Semiconductors
- Full-stack technical literacy - you are well versed across a wide range of technical topics with deep expertise in select areas, and you are eager and able to pick up new depths easily
- Product-fluency - you have worked closely with product teams, understand the user journey, and can balance technical product development with practical user needs
- A strong ability to understand and articulate how AI-native products create commercial value
- Strong written and verbal communication & storytelling – you can communicate your ideas clearly and concisely in a medium of your choosing to a wide variety of stakeholders
What the job involves
- As our Deployment Lead for Electrical Engineering, you will own the success of Atlas deployments from end to end—from use case identification and workflow mapping to feature development that accelerate hardware innovation
- Working on fast timelines, you'll collaborate closely with customers, users, and Arena's engineering, product, and GTM teams to successfully deploy Atlas, while measuring and demonstrating real-world value
- Your responsibilities include building a deep understanding of your users, their organizations, and their workflows, then identifying how Atlas features will transform their electrical engineering processes
- You'll work directly with customers to remove technical and organizational blockers, making you a key player in their success
- In close collaboration with Arena's core product teams, you'll identify features and capabilities that deliver maximum value to users in real-world scenarios
- This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience driving innovation across some of the world's most vital industries—ideal for those aspiring to become founders or product leaders
- Deployment ownership - own deployment execution for one or more customer accounts from technical strategy to stakeholder management, and develop deep understanding of our users. Ensure deployment success through consistent on-site presence and building strong relationships across the organization
- Drive user adoption - drive usage of Atlas with our customers, and provide structured, technical product feedback to our Core Product and Platform engineering teams to shape our product roadmap
- Foster and grow relationships with users and senior technical/business leadership - lead technical conversations with senior customer leadership and technical users as our domain expert at the intersection of AI and Electrical Engineering
Our take
Arena leverages performance data, predictive algorithms, and machine learning technology to help businesses automate high frequency decisions. In theory, the platform can be used to automate marketing strategies, promotions, inventory and supply chain management, pricing, and more.
Although AI automated decision-making may sound overly ambitious at first, a closer look suggests that it’s actually a natural progression from the huge growth of AI-powered data analytics companies. Arena separates itself from these by providing the next actionable step, rather than leaving these decisions up to internal teams.
The company’s “business decision autopilot” is used by a number of Fortune 500 businesses including multinational brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev, so it must be doing something right. While it's shown stable and impressive growth since launching in 2020, a major 2022 fundraise led by Initialized Capital and Goldcrest Capital suggests an aggressive scale up is inevitable.
