SimuQuest is a small, fast-moving embedded systems company full of fun and interesting engineers that are the best at what they do. Our office is right on Main Street and close to the Washtenaw Dairy. This means ready access to great lunches and even better donuts! Ultimately, our goal is to support the design of embedded systems in a whole new way using graphical models instead of implementing them by hand. It's a powerful technology that we truly believe will revolutionize the way this type of software is designed and implemented for automotive, robotics, aerospace, medical devices, and beyond.
I lead the effort to design and evolve SimuQuest's growing product line. I am responsible for turning customer needs into new products and new features within existing products, delivering them to market on time, and aiding in designing a pricing, sales, and marketing strategy to promote these new capabilities.
The best thing about my job is the wide range of responsibilities that constantly challenges me to keep growing as a professional. I spend time on the road and at home in front of prospective customers and leading training sessions. Some days, however, the team and I are all in front of whiteboards figuring out what is going to be developed, by whom, by when, and what it's going to look like. Occasionally, you might even find me working on new artwork for our products. I also participate in sales and marketing activities and am involved in developing new business relationships.
