About the Role

We are seeking a driven and entrepreneurial Business Development Manager to lead our New Business Growth initiatives. In this role, you will lead the identification, development, and conversion of new customer opportunities, drive revenue growth and innovation pipeline expansion while shaping the future of high-growth technology markets and delivering global impact.

This position is based in Taiwan or the United States, with a preference for candidates located near a major international airport to enable global travel.

Responsibilities

Identify and develop high-value opportunities for new products and services in key markets such as data center infrastructure, high-performance computing, and chip technologies

Proactively identify, prospect, and secure executive-level meetings with target accounts — hyperscalers, cloud service providers, semiconductor OEMs, system integrators, and ecosystem partners — to opportunity size and market reach

Build and maintain strong relationships with prospects, customers, and external stakeholders (including industry associations)

Listen to customer problem statements and translate unmet needs and industry trends — AI/ML training and inference workloads, accelerated compute, high-bandwidth interconnect, power and thermal density, advanced packaging — into product concepts and solution definitions aligned with our strategic capabilities

Influence and align cross-functional teams across R&D, product management, engineering, operations, and sales to drive new product development from concept through stage-gate to launch

Lead customer meetings and conduct negotiations to close deals

Develop and execute go-to-market plans for new offerings — segmentation, value proposition, pricing approach, channel strategy, launch sequencing — and transition mature opportunities to field sales teams

Provide regular reporting on pipeline progress, customer insights, and business development performance

Required Qualifications

Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Computer, or Materials), Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field; MBA or advanced technical degree a plus

Extensive experience in business development, strategic sales, or product leadership

Strong track record in technology-driven industries (e.g., data centers, semiconductors, connectivity, electronics)

Deep understanding of data center, high-performance compute, and semiconductor market dynamics — hyperscaler and CSP buying patterns, accelerator and networking roadmaps, foundry/OSAT ecosystem, and power/thermal/density constraints driving next-generation infrastructure

Proven success in driving growth and closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals in global environments

Demonstrated ability to translate customer problems into product concepts and to influence R&D and product management through the new-product-development process

Highly self-motivated with the ability to work independently

Persistent and effective at cold prospecting and securing executive meetings with technical and commercial decision-makers (buyers, specifiers, influencers, ecosystem partners)

Strategic thinker with a hands-on, results-driven mindset

Languages: Mandatory – English; Beneficial – Mandarin, Japanese, and/or Korean (key regions for foundries, OSATs, and hyperscale customers)

Ability to travel up to 50 %
