"ARE YOU A THINKING, SLEEPING, EATING TECHNOLOGY

ENTHUSIAST WITH A HEAD FOR BUSINESS AND HIGH LEVEL STRATEGIES?"

- Do you have very good acumen to understand technology, but you are not picking up traditional job at software services company or core job?

- Do you have loads of potential, but you need serious business mentorship and training to realize it?

- Do you love analytical challenges, but can't find the right place to really push your growth?

Welcome to the '6ie' world of IP (Intellectual Property) which is based on innovation, cutting edge technology and long term strategy for the intangible assets of an organization.

We are looking for engineers who have :

- Good skills to understand technology concepts

- Likes analysis, reading data patterns and wants to apply analytical skills

- Smart communication skills, specially the written communication and ability to understand technology concepts by lot of reading of technical documents.

This is your chance to learn and take part in analyzing technology concepts, find relations between data points, contribute in building client relationships, and conveying insights to upper management to help them make strategic business decisions.

Note: This is not a marketing or sales role. If you do not like reading about and understanding complex concepts across various technology domains - this is not a right fit for you.

What will you get from this role? (provided you work hard)

In the span of 2-3 years working in this role, you would learn and accrue skills that even the major B-school students envy as you'll be immediately thrust into the heart of the company, doing serious work.

- Using your engineering expertise, you will be directly involved in the research for technology concepts and inventions and then translating the research findings to reports, proposals, presentations that help clients answer their IP problems.

- You will be given the chance to learn and get involved with upper management in designing major marketing/ sales campaigns, and be responsible for its successful implementation.

- You will have direct exposure to strategy teams and they will train and coach you and teach you everything you need to know to succeed at your tasks. They will expect you to crush them, and then mentor you when you don't.

- You will learn to think like a CEO

- But before you get all excited and start applying, understand one very important thing:

This work is no joke.

You'd better be willing and able to learn quickly, work hard, and get results. This is NOT for someone who wants to "play start-up." This role is for a hustler looking for an incredible opportunity to use their drive to learn invaluable skills and advance quickly.

If that describes you, come get it.

What are the qualities we are looking for? (candidates will be tested for these qualities)
