Role brief
The opportunity

We are looking for a Technical Marketing & MRD Specialist on Smart Sensors & Edge AI to investigate, structure and document the market requirements for next-generation smart sensor applications powered by our Analog Edge AI low-power ASIC. You bring a solid engineering background that enables you to understand our technology at a deep technical level and translate what you learn into precise, measurable requirements. You combine strong analytical and writing skills with a genuine understanding of technology markets.
In this role, you translate market needs, customer problems and application requirements into a structured MRD that guides GEMESYS’s strategy, product, technology and business development activities. You work closely with our management, engineers and business developers to answer critical questions such as:

  • Which smart sensor markets have the strongest need for local or edge AI, meaning on-device learning, inference, event or anomaly detection, or data compression?
  • What problems are customers currently unable to solve efficiently?
  • What sensor capabilities, AI functions and performance levels are required?
  • Which applications benefit most from on-device learning and inference?
  • What are the requirements around power consumption, latency and bandwidth?
  • Which technical requirements are driven by customers, and which by competitors or industry standards?
  • Which product requirements should GEMESYS prioritize for its Edge AI technology?
The goal is an MRD that engineering can design against: every requirement quantified, prioritized per segment and traceable to specific client discussions and use cases.


Your role

Market & Application Research

  • Build a deep understanding of our analog AI hardware, its capabilities and limitations, together with our team.
  • Research the global smart sensor and Edge AI landscape and identify relevant market segments, applications and customer groups.
  • Analyze emerging applications for intelligent and autonomous sensors.
  • Investigate industry trends, technology adoption and customer requirements.
  • Identify high-value use cases where local or edge AI processing provides tangible benefits.
  • Identify opportunities where GEMESYS’s Analog Edge AI architecture creates differentiated value, also beyond sensors.
  • Research competing technologies and alternative solutions, with the support of our engineers.
 
Customer & Stakeholder Requirements
  • Identify and structure customer pain points and unmet needs.
  • Translate qualitative customer requirements into measurable product requirements.
  • Define functional and non-functional requirements for smart sensor systems.
  • Classify these requirements into categories, so that the engineering teams can make trade-offs.
  • Source and conduct customer, expert and partner interviews through your own network, and run the market validation independently.
  • Share your findings with management, and join selected customer and investor meetings where they add value.
 
Market Requirements Document
You own the development of a comprehensive MRD, including:
  • Market overview, segmentation and competitive landscape
  • Target applications and use cases
  • Customer personas and stakeholders, where relevant
  • Customer pain points and unmet needs
  • Market and technology trends and their future projections
  • Alternative technology approaches
  • Market and product specification requirements for our Analog Edge AI ASIC: power, energy modes, bandwidth, area, process nodes, target ASP and further parameters, prioritized per segment and traceable to specific client discussions and use cases
  • Product opportunity areas
  • Recommendations for product and technology development
  • Regulatory and industry considerations
 
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with GEMESYS’s technical teams to understand the capabilities and limitations of the underlying analog AI hardware.
  • Lead our in-house market analysis team and resources efficiently, so that they support your work and build their own skill set.
  • Translate technical capabilities into customer and application value propositions.
  • Facilitate discussions between technical, commercial and management stakeholders.
  • Challenge our existing assumptions with customer and market evidence.
  • Ensure that product requirements are traceable to actual market needs.
  • Guide future product roadmap decisions.
 
Deliverables
You are responsible for producing a professional MRD. Every requirement specified in it is prioritized for each segment and traceable to specific client discussions and use cases.


What you bring

  • Experience in technical marketing, product marketing or application engineering for semiconductors, sensors or embedded systems.
  • Solid understanding of sensor signal chains, low-power electronics and embedded AI, deep enough to discuss architecture trade-offs with chip designers.
  • Extensive experience developing Market Requirements Documents, Product Requirements Documents, market studies or comparable strategic or technical documentation.
  • An established network in smart sensors, Edge AI or semiconductors that gives you direct access to potential customers, domain experts and industry partners, without relying on GEMESYS contacts.
  • Proven ability to independently source, schedule and conduct customer and expert interviews, and to run market validation end to end.
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear market and customer requirements.
  • Experience researching technology markets and competitive landscapes.
  • Excellent strategic, analytical and structured thinking skills.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.
  • Ability to independently conduct research, identify information gaps and develop well-supported conclusions.
