What do you do, exactly?

Great question. My wife still doesn't know, and we've been married for 26 
years.

My job title is "Senior Applications Engineering Consultant," which means...
nothing to most people. So let's throw that aside an look at what I really
do on a day-to-day basis.

				Jack of all trades...

To start, I am an Electrical Engineer by training, but I work in a sales
organization. I don't sell software, at least not directly, though. My role is
to assist the sales team in doing any and all of the following:

 * Assessing a potential sales opportunity to see if our software is a good fit
 * Presenting our solution and its advantages at a more technical level
 * Engage in technical Q&A with a customer's design team
 * Define and run demonstrations of our software using a customer's design
 * If the customer buys, help them install and deploy it, including training
 * Debug issues that arise in day-to-day usage and make sure R&D fixes them if
   needed

				Um, that's a lot...

Yes, yes it is. 

I end spending far more time with my customers than with my own sales people, as
the demonstration and debug phases can be all-consuming when in full swing.
Presentations tend to be easier, as it's more of a drop-in, drop-out process. 

				So what software are you doing this for?

You should probably read my "What is EDA, Exactly?" article for background, but I
specifically support used to do layout (place-and-route) of very large scale
digital logic designs. The goal is to automate the process and allow designers
to handle larger and more complex designs than could ever be done by hand.
