• Act as the primary link between the market and the R&D team. Translate client needs and geotechnical complexities into detailed Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) to guide future technology development. 
• Partner with the sales and accounts teams during deep technical dives with major clients. Present the technical roadmap and demonstrate how our solutions solve specific geotechnical risks. 
• Oversee the end-to-end delivery lifecycle for US projects, ensuring that the implementation of our technology is consistent, scalable, and technically sound. 
• Identify opportunities to expand our technical footprint within the US market and provide technical guidance for entry into secondary markets (IL, EU/UK). 

Requirements

• 10–15 years of professional experience in Geotechnical Engineering, with a strong focus on US civil infrastructure (highways, bridges, foundations). 
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a closely related field. 
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in the US is a must 
• Deep knowledge of soil mechanics, foundation engineering, earth-retaining structures, and U.S. engineering codes/standards. 
• Proven ability to lead complex projects and influence cross-functional teams (Product, R&D, Sales). 
• Exceptional ability to translate complex technical concepts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 
• A "startup growth" mindset—comfortable with evolving roles and a fast-paced environment. 
• Ability to travel to project sites and client offices across the US as needed.
