* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Experience in working closely with various teams, particularly in materials and chemistry, to drive product development.
* Travel Flexibility: Willingness to travel occasionally, approximately once per month / two months across Europe, to engage with customers directly.

**Why Join Us?**
