Freelancing Engagement: Technical Marketing & MRD Specialist (m/f/d)

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. 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
