• Conduct comprehensive market research on the air mobility landscape, including civil and defense segments, to identify trends, opportunities, and competitive dynamics. 
• Perform detailed comparative analyses of aircraft across vehicle classes, evaluating specifications, performance characteristics, and propulsion architectures to benchmark Whisper's technology against existing and emerging solutions. 
• Identify, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of sources (including FAA and DOT databases, industry publications, and OEM specifications) into structured datasets, living dashboards, and compelling visual narratives that keep internal teams aligned and informed. 
• Support the development of internal and external-facing reports, market sizing models, and product roadmaps grounded in quantitative analysis. 
• Translate and distill market data and customer insights into clearly articulated product requirements and use-case definitions in collaboration with the Product Manager. 
• Present findings and recommendations clearly to cross-functional stakeholders including engineering, business development, and executive leadership. 
• Support the identification and preparation of government funding proposals and grants by contributing market data, technology assessments, and written content that articulates the strategic value of Whisper's core technology. 
• Represent Whisper Aero at conferences, tradeshows, and industry events to engage stakeholders and advance awareness of our propulsion technology.
