About the position
CORSAIR is seeking a highly motivated Technical Marketing Specialist to join our marketing team in Milpitas CA. At CORSAIR, Technical Marketing is one of the primary voices of our customer internally and is responsible for ensuring that the current industry trends are observed and/or predicted, and communicated clearly to our product development teams to ensure our products exceed the expectations of our customers. In other words, you'd help us make good products great. The successful candidate will be the family go-to guy for anything tech related and the person who is always able to give advice on what PC parts work best together. You can put together a PC blindfolded and know where the PWR pins are on the JFP1 header and have used a screwdriver on these on more than one occasion. You are able to quickly find out why your brand-new rig randomly restarts, solve it and explain the issue either online via our communities, in person, or via a detailed report. To you a motherboard is not just a motherboard, and you like to pick out each individual component that goes into your PC, so it best fits your specific needs. You are a frequent contributor to online communities like a subreddit, Discord chat, or social media group where you share your passions about your hobbies and help new members of the community figure out the answers to their questions. If you recognize yourself in this description and have a creative flair for marketing, and/or a passion for direct customer interaction, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity to join our team. This position is full time in-office at our location in Milpitas, CA.
