Sales Engineer — Own the Automation Conversation
Turn automation challenges into solutions customers can build—and buy. We’re looking for a
Sales Engineer who can bridge the gap between industrial customers, engineering, and sales. You’ll work with OEMs, machine builders, and manufacturers to understand their automation challenges and turn them into practical solutions—from individual components to control panels and turnkey automation systems. This isn’t catalog sales.
You’ll have the technical depth and engineering support to sell real solutions involving PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, motion, networking, safety, and UL508A control panels. Identify and develop new automation opportunities. Meet with customers to understand applications, challenges, and requirements. Recommend products and engineered automation solutions. Review schematics, specifications, and application requirements. Partner with engineering and panel-building teams to develop solutions. Manage opportunities from initial conversation through order and project completion.
Conduct customer visits, technical presentations, and product demonstrations. Expand existing accounts from component sales into larger engineered solutions.
2+ years in technical sales, industrial automation, controls, electrical distribution, manufacturing, or engineering.
~ Ability to read electrical schematics and BOMs.
~ Comfortable talking with engineers, maintenance teams, and purchasing.
~ Willingness to travel locally and regionally.
PLCs • HMIs • VFDs • Servo/Stepper Systems • Industrial Ethernet • UL508A Panels • Unitronics • Allen-Bradley • Siemens • Machine Safety
You won’t just sell products—you’ll help customers figure out how to automate
. That means your technical knowledge directly translates into real solutions, projects, and customer relationships. If you’re technically curious, commercially driven, and ready to own the automation conversation, we want to talk to you. Local and regional travel is required.
If you’re ready to turn your industrial automation knowledge into high-impact, consultative sales, let’s get you in the conversation.
