TUSK IC is a fabless millimeter-wave (mm-wave) IC design company based in Antwerp, Belgium. Founded in 2018 as a KU Leuven spin-off, we’ve built a strong reputation for solving the toughest RF and semiconductor challenges in automotive, industrial, and communications markets. 

We’re now entering a new and pivotal phase: developing our own product line of Ka-band chips and modules for satellite communications (SatCom). Our focus is on next-generation user terminals for global satellite connectivity — a market on the verge of explosive growth. “New Space” is fueling a wide range of business and investment opportunities, with communications emerging as the biggest growth market, and at the heart of strategic autonomy discussions. 

At TUSK IC, we believe in technical excellence and customer impact. We build trust through results. If you want to be part of a team where ambition and execution go hand in hand, you’ll feel at home! 

Job description

We’re looking for an experienced sales and marketing professional with a strong background in semiconductors and/or the satcom ecosystem (especially user terminals). Initially reporting to our VP Business Development, you will drive TUSK IC’s sales and marketing activities and lay the foundations for a growing commercial team. For the right candidate, this role offers a clear path to VP Sales & Marketing. 

This role is about building something new. You’ll be in the field with customers, traveling to key industry events, opening doors, and growing relationships with the players shaping tomorrow’s satellite connectivity. Working closely with our VP Business Development and the C-level team, you will build the TUSK IC brand, expand our market presence, close opportunities, and take our sales to the next level.

  • Build and manage a portfolio of customers for our SatCom ICs and modules. 
  • Develop sales and support channels; deliver the right solutions to customers. 
  • Prepare quotations and negotiate contracts. 
  • Own revenue targets: create reliable forecasts and scenarios, and report on commercial performance to the VP Business Development. 
  • Lead continuous market research on customer use cases, competition, prices, volumes, and ecosystem trends. 
  • Lead product marketing: positioning, messaging, product launches, datasheets, and sales collateral. 
  • Build the TUSK IC brand in the SatCom market through our website, content, PR, and social media. 
  • Represent TUSK IC at industry fairs, exhibitions, and networking events.

Competences and qualifications

  • Proven track record (5+ years) in sales and marketing or business development for RF chips, wireless or communications semiconductors, or satcom/flat panel technologies. 
  • Bonus: a network within the satcom user terminal ecosystem (OEMs, integrators, operators). 
  • Leadership potential and the ambition to grow into a VP Sales role; experience leading a team is a plus. 
  • Experience owning revenue targets; budget responsibility is a plus. 
  • Hands-on experience in product marketing and B2B brand building for technical products. 
  • Ability to translate technical capabilities into compelling business value. 
  • Experience with go-to-market strategies for deep-tech products with long sales cycles. 
  • Hunter mentality with a track record of closing deals. 
  • Multilingual and open to frequent international travel. 
  • Belgium-based candidates preferred, but all European time zone candidates considered. 

What we offer

  • A dynamic and fast-growing scale-up environment where your impact is visible from day one.
  • A clear growth path towards a senior leadership role (VP Sales & Marketing).
  • The chance to contribute to truly next-generation satellite communication products used in the real world.
