Responsibilities

• Develop and orchestrate the global HMI strategy in partnership with product lines, regional organizations, sales, engineering, software, and business leadership.
• Create a clear, compelling, and distinctly Infineon HMI value proposition for internal and external audiences.
• Evaluate customer system requirements and identify high-value combinations of Infineon hardware, software, and architecture capabilities for each priority market, application, and strategic customer, including complete application software as a key differentiator.
• Set funnel targets by market, region, and customer; review progress with regional teams; identify gaps; and drive corrective action.
• Participate directly in strategically important design-win pursuits, particularly when cross-product-line coordination is required.
• Build customer intimacy through technically substantive engagement with customer engineering, system architecture, and executive teams; gain early access to roadmaps; lead joint concept workshops; and participate directly in critical opportunities.
• Influence product and software roadmaps by translating system requirements, customer use cases, market trends, and competitive insight into technically grounded capability recommendations.
• Define the technical and commercial intent for reference designs, demonstration platforms, system-solution concepts, customer proofs of concept, tradeshow demonstrations, and supporting technical and sales content.
• Develop strategic ecosystem partnerships when external capabilities are needed to complete solutions or accelerate commercial success.

Requirements

• 15 or more years of relevant experience, including leadership roles in product marketing, application engineering, business development, systems engineering, or a combination of these disciplines.
• Direct experience with HMI products, technologies, or markets.
• Ability to engage at a detailed technical level with customer and internal engineering teams, connect application requirements to system architecture, and recognize practical implementation constraints.
• Demonstrated success leading global, cross-functional initiatives and working through matrix organizations.
• Strong technical fluency across embedded hardware, software, and system architecture, with the ability to evaluate tradeoffs, identify meaningful differentiation, and constructively challenge technical and commercial assumptions.
• Experience defining software-enabled solutions and a practical understanding of software architecture, integration requirements, development environments, and the role of application software in customer adoption.
• A record of building qualified opportunity funnels, converting opportunities into design wins, creating go-to-market strategies, and developing differentiated value propositions.
• Executive-level communication skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into compelling strategic and customer value narratives, influence across cultures and functions, and resolve conflict constructively.
• Experience developing technical and marketing talent.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical or business discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
