When demonstrating a technical product to a non-technical audience, focus on simplifying complex concepts. Use layman's terms, visual aids, and real-life examples that resonate with the audience's needs. Engaging storytelling can help bridge the gap between technical features and practical benefits.

To analyze competitor products effectively, I would compile data from market research and customer feedback, identify key features, prices, strengths, and weaknesses of competing products, and create benchmarking reports. I would also analyze market trends to understand how our offerings can meet unmet needs.

Absolutely! When explaining technical concepts, I focus on the benefits rather than just the features. For instance, if I were introducing our SST solutions, I would highlight how they enhance efficiency and reliability in real-life applications, such as improving automotive performance, ensuring safety, and how it ultimately benefits the consumer.

During busy periods, I prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, seeking to align them with team goals. I utilize tools like to-do lists and scheduling apps to manage my time effectively. Communication with colleagues about deadlines and support also helps ensure we stay on track as a team.

In a previous project, we faced a technical challenge that caused delays. I initiated a brainstorming session with the team to identify alternative solutions.
