Hiring: Technical Sales Engineer – Battery Manufacturing Equipment

About Labkarts

Labkarts India Pvt. Ltd. provides specialized equipment, engineering solutions, and technical consulting for the battery and electrochemical industries. We support customers ranging from research laboratories and technology development centres to pilot-scale manufacturing facilities and large-scale Gigafactory projects.

Our solutions cover lithium-ion and sodium-ion cell manufacturing, battery pack assembly, testing equipment, laboratory and electrochemical instruments, and integrated manufacturing lines.

At Labkarts, you will work with advanced technologies, international OEM partners, R&D institutions, battery manufacturers, and industrial customers across India.

We are looking for a technically strong, commercially driven professional who can convert customer requirements into the right engineering solutions and turn business opportunities into successful orders.

Role Overview

As a Technical Sales Engineer, you will take ownership of the complete technical sales process — from identifying customer requirements and developing solutions to submitting proposals, negotiating with customers, and closing orders.

This role is suitable for someone who enjoys both engineering and business development, can communicate confidently with technical decision-makers, and is motivated by measurable sales results.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Sales & Business Development

• Identify and develop new business opportunities in the battery manufacturing, energy storage, industrial R&D, and electrochemical sectors.
• Engage with battery manufacturers, R&D laboratories, universities, research institutions, and industrial customers.
• Understand customer applications, technical requirements, production capacities, budgets, and project timelines.
• Conduct customer meetings, technical presentations, product demonstrations, and solution discussions.
• Build and maintain a qualified sales pipeline and convert opportunities into confirmed orders.

2. Solution Development & Proposal Preparation

• Understand customer RFQs, technical specifications, and project requirements.
• Coordinate with OEMs and internal engineering teams to identify suitable equipment and integrated solutions.
• Prepare technical proposals, commercial quotations, comparison sheets, and presentations.
• Explain equipment capabilities, specifications, process requirements, and solution benefits to customers.
• Follow up on proposals, address technical and commercial queries, and support negotiations through order closure.

3. Customer & Project Coordination

• Maintain strong relationships with existing customers and develop repeat business.
• Coordinate with engineering, service, production, and procurement teams to ensure a smooth customer experience.
• Support installation, commissioning, training, and troubleshooting activities when required.
• Maintain accurate customer records, opportunity updates, follow-up schedules, and sales forecasts in the CRM.
• Take responsibility for assigned opportunities from initial enquiry through order closure.
• Maintain regular customer follow-ups and ensure no qualified opportunity is neglected.
• Monitor competitor activity, customer investment plans, and market developments.
• Achieve agreed sales targets, maintain a healthy pipeline, and provide regular sales reports.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for candidates who demonstrate:

• An engineering background in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Chemical, Instrumentation, or a related discipline — or equivalent relevant technical experience.
• Experience in technical sales, sales engineering, industrial equipment, capital equipment, automation, battery technology, or manufacturing solutions.
• The ability to understand technical specifications and explain complex equipment in a clear, customer-friendly manner.
• Strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and follow-up skills.
• A proactive approach to prospecting, customer engagement, and business development.
• The ability to manage multiple opportunities and work independently with clear accountability.
• Willingness to travel across India for customer meetings, site visits, exhibitions, and project-related activities.

Preferred advantage: Experience in lithium-ion battery manufacturing equipment, battery testing systems, energy storage, electrochemical instruments, industrial automation, or turnkey manufacturing projects.

What Success Looks Like

• Developing new customer accounts and qualified sales opportunities.
• Preparing accurate and competitive technical proposals.
• Converting enquiries and quotations into confirmed purchase orders.
• Building long-term relationships with customers and technology partners.
• Maintaining a reliable sales pipeline with consistent follow-up and forecasting.
• Taking ownership of opportunities instead of waiting for customers to follow up.

Why Join Labkarts?

• Work with advanced battery manufacturing and clean-energy technologies.
• Engage with leading research institutions, battery manufacturers, and industrial customers.
• Gain exposure to international OEMs and complex turnkey engineering projects.
• Develop expertise across technical sales, manufacturing processes, and project execution.
