Liquid Instruments - Associate Product Marketing Engineer, Optics & Photonics
About The Position
Liquid Instruments builds test and measurement tools for engineers and scientists who need precise, flexible instruments. Our founders are scientists from the Australian National University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Our work in high-speed digital signal processing and ultra-sensitive instruments began with technology built to measure gravitational waves. Our main product line, Moku, is a reconfigurable and reprogrammable, FPGA-based test and measurement platform. It handles both simple measurements and complex setups that use many instruments at once, and it is fast and straightforward to customize. Moku pairs capable hardware with easy-to-use software to balance flexibility, performance, and cost. Liquid Instruments is headquartered in Canberra, Australia, with a U.S. office in Del Mar (San Diego), California. Optics and photonics is our established market. Moku is already in daily use in labs and research groups across the field. It combines the instruments these labs depend on into a single software-defined unit: lock-in amplifiers, PID and laser lock controllers, phasemeters, and waveform generators. We're hiring an Associate Product Marketing Engineer to own our presence in this market. You'll create the technical content, demos, and sales tools that make Moku the clear choice for photonics work. This is an early-career role with real ownership. You'll know our photonics customers better than anyone else in the company. The role reports to the VP of Marketing. San Diego preferred; U.S. remote considered.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Optics, Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
- 2+ years of professional experience in engineering, applications engineering, application science, technical marketing, or another customer-facing technical role. Recent PhDs with substantial hands-on lab experience in photonics will also be considered.
- Hands-on familiarity with test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, lock-in amplifiers, and waveform generators
- Working knowledge of optics and photonics applications and the instruments they use
- Strong technical writing ability, with published work or writing samples to share
- Able to manage several priorities at once on a fast-moving team
- Travel for industry events and customer engagements (10–20%)
Responsibilities
- Own product-level messaging for the Moku products that serve photonics, built on our existing company and vertical messaging framework.
- Write application notes, benchmark data, and technical webinars that show how Liquid Instruments solutions perform in real photonics work.
- Create the technical content and enablement materials for new products that serve photonics.
- Build demos, competitive battlecards, and training content for our Sales team, application engineers, and channel partners, drawing on competitive analysis developed with Product Management.
- Record and organize learnings from photonics customers and share them with Product Management and R&D.
- Work with photonics customers in their labs to run measurements, give demos, and lead technical sessions.
- Represent Liquid Instruments at key events.
- Work closely with the Content, Field Marketing, and Design teams.
