 * Deliver high-impact product demonstrations-both in person and remotely-that clearly communicate system capabilities, value, and differentiation - collecting feedback for sales and customer services.

 * During demonstrations, collect photos, videos and impressive data sets to support the development of sales and marketing collateral.
 * Conduct customer training sessions covering system operation, configuration, best practices, and regulatory considerations.
 * Translate customer needs into actionable insights for product management and engineering teams.
 * Provide post-sales technical support to ensure smooth onboarding and long-term customer satisfaction.
 * Support rental customers with expert advice on installation, calibration, and operation.
 * Carry out vessel installation and commissioning for sales as needed.
 * Coordinate with sales when downtime is expected.

 * Recommend appropriate product configurations and integration approaches.
 * Represent the company's technical position during pre-sales discussions.
 * Validate technical feasibility for customer use cases.
