Job description

Technical Sales Engineer (FAE) – Frequency & Timing

Are you an experienced Technical Sales Engineer, Application Engineer or FAE with expertise in Frequency & Timing? Would you like to combine your technical knowledge with customer relationships and business development, and play a key role in growing Milexia's high-tech business in Finland?

Milexia Nordics is looking for an experienced Technical Sales Engineer to strengthen its Finnish operations. You will combine your technical expertise in Frequency & Timing technologies with customer relationships, business development and the opportunity to influence our future growth in Finland.

About Milexia Nordics

Milexia Nordics is a specialist distributor of advanced electronic components and technology solutions, serving customers across Northern Europe. Our expertise includes Frequency & Timing, RF & Microwave and other specialised electronic technologies used in Defence, Aerospace, Telecommunications and Industrial applications.

With more than 40 employees across seven countries, we combine the personal approach of a specialist organisation with the resources and international reach of the Milexia Group.

We are growing in Finland and looking for a technically strong, commercially driven colleague to help us take the next step.

Your role – Take ownership of our Frequency & Timing business in Finland

Milexia established its Finnish operations in late 2024 and is now strengthening its local presence to support existing customers and develop new business.

As our Technical Sales Engineer, you will take responsibility for developing our Frequency & Timing business in Finland, working with customers across several industries, including advanced technology companies, research institutions and universities.

Depending on your background and location, you will also support our RF & Microwave business, particularly within Defence and Aerospace.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing existing customer relationships and identifying new customers, applications and business opportunities.
• Understanding customers' technical challenges and working with leading technology manufacturers to identify suitable solutions.
• Managing technically demanding, project-based sales from initial customer discussions and supplier quotations through negotiations and closing.
• Building strong relationships with engineers, technical specialists, purchasing organisations and decision-makers.
• Identifying emerging technologies, market developments and future commercial opportunities.
• Collaborating with our Nordic and international colleagues, suppliers and technical specialists.

This is a genuinely customer-focused position. We want you to spend your time meeting customers, discussing technologies and developing business – not producing unnecessary reports.

You will have considerable independence in planning your work, supported by our Danish internal sales and supply chain teams, who manage order processing, deliveries and logistics. You will report to our MD in Denmark.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a technically strong and commercially minded professional who enjoys working with people, solving technical challenges and developing business.

Ideally, you have:

• A degree in electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications or another relevant technical field.
• Experience or solid technical knowledge of Frequency & Timing technologies, such as oscillators, frequency control, synchronisation or related electronic components.
• Experience in technical B2B sales, Field Application Engineering, application engineering or another customer-facing technical position.
• The ability to discuss complex technical requirements directly with engineers and translate them into suitable solutions.
• A proactive, independent and business-oriented mindset, with the curiosity and drive to identify new opportunities.
• Strong communication skills in both Finnish and English.

Experience in RF & Microwave technologies, electronic component distribution, Defence, Aerospace or other high-tech industries would be an advantage.

You do not need to tick every box. You may already be an experienced Technical Sales Engineer, or you could be a technically strong Application Engineer or FAE who wants to take the next step towards broader customer and business responsibility.

What matters most is your technical foundation, commercial curiosity and motivation to build lasting customer relationships.

What can Milexia offer you?

At Milexia Nordics, you will join a growing international company where technical expertise, personal initiative and strong customer relationships are valued.

We offer you:

• Real responsibility and influence – take ownership of our Frequency & Timing business in Finland and contribute directly to our growth.
• Established customers and new opportunities – develop an existing customer base while building new relationships and business.
• Leading technology brands – work with internationally recognised suppliers, including Microchip and Mini-Circuits, and a broad portfolio of advanced electronic technologies.
• Freedom and flexibility – organise your work independently, with the possibility of working from home or a suitable local office.
• International support – collaborate with experienced Nordic colleagues, technical specialists and our Danish support organisation.
• An attractive compensation package – reflecting the technical expertise and commercial responsibility of the position, including comprehensive employment benefits.

You will be based in Finland, preferably in the Helsinki region, although we are flexible regarding location for the right candidate. The role involves regular customer visits throughout Finland and occasional international travel.
