Role Overview

We are seeking a high-energy, results-driven Business Development & Sales Manager/ Director (AOI Solutions) with a strong hunter mindset to accelerate Galatek's market expansion across Taiwan and key Asian semiconductor markets.

In this high-impact, individual-contributor role, you will be responsible for mapping out aggressive regional sales strategies, breaking into new accounts, and securing major partnerships with top-tier wafer fabs and OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) providers. Working closely with global R&D and engineering leadership, you will serve as the commercial catalyst bridging customer needs with Galatek's product roadmap to ensure our AOI series platforms become the vendor of choice for high-end semiconductor manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

1. Market Penetration & Hunter Business Development

Drive New Account Acquisition: Proactively target, cold-pitch, penetrate, and win major tier-1 wafer fabs, OSAT providers, and advanced packaging facilities across Taiwan and target markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc.).
Develop Sales & Territory Strategies: Formulate and execute aggressive sales hunting strategies to capture market share from established incumbents in the AOI and metrology space.

3. End-to-End Sales Lifecycle Leadership

Lead the entire sales cycle—from initial lead generation, technical evaluation, and on-site tool qualifications to high-stakes contract negotiation and closing.
Orchestrate joint customer evaluations and technical proof-of-concept (PoC) trials alongside field application engineers.

4. Cross-Functional R&D & Product Strategy Alignment

Gather and synthesize real-time voice-of-customer (VoC) feedback from semiconductor production floors.
Collaborate closely with Galatek's global R&D and manufacturing teams to align customer requirements with product development roadmaps and system upgrades.
