About the Role
We are looking for a highly motivated Sales Support & Deployment Engineer with strong technical expertise in mobile telecommunications technologies and hands‑on experience deploying telco‑grade software and hardware. In this role, you will bridge the gap between sales, customers, and engineering, supporting the full lifecycle—from pre‑sales technical engagement to deployment, integration, testing, and customer success. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands the mobile network ecosystem (5G/6G), enjoys customer interaction, and can communicate complex technical concepts with clarity.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide technical support to the sales team during customer meetings, workshops, and RFP/RFQ processes.
- Prepare and deliver technical presentations, demos, and solution architectures for mobile telco products (e.g., 4G/5G core, RAN, private networks, edge platforms).
- Translate customer requirements into technical proposals, bills of materials, and deployment plans.
- Support product positioning, competitive differentiation, and customer technical inquiries.
Deployment & Integration
- Lead the deployment, configuration, and integration of mobile network products at customer sites or cloud environments.
- Install and configure network elements (e.g., EPC/5GC, RAN components, orchestrators, management systems).
- Work closely with engineering teams to resolve integration issues, troubleshoot deployments, and ensure successful acceptance testing.
- Conduct end‑to‑end system validation, interoperability testing, and performance optimization.
Customer Success & Post‑Sales Support
- Provide technical support during trials, PoCs, and pilot deployments.
- Deliver customer training, documentation, and knowledge‑transfer sessions.
- Ensure smooth handover to operations teams and support long‑term account success.
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- Strong understanding of 4G/5G architecture, 3GPP standards, mobile core, RAN, and IP networking.
- Experience with telco‑grade deployment: Linux systems, virtualization (VMware/KVM), cloud environments, and container‑based architectures (Docker/K8s).
- Hands‑on experience with network troubleshooting and analysis tools (Wireshark, TCPdump, etc.).
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Customer‑facing experience in pre‑sales, sales engineering, or deployment roles.
- Onsite job with 25% travel requirements.
- Fluent Dutch language is necessary.
Preferred
- Experience with Network Sharing, Network Slicing and Neutral Host.
- Familiarity with orchestration platforms, CI/CD pipelines, automation tools (Ansible, Terraform).

What We Offer
- Opportunity to work with cutting‑edge 5G/6G and next‑generation mobile technologies.
- A collaborative team environment with high‑impact customer interactions.
- Competitive compensation and career growth opportunities.
