Employment Type: Full-time

ETAP is an independently operating global leader in software solutions for the design, modeling, analysis, and safe operation of electrical power systems.

This allows ETAP to combine the agility of a specialized company with the innovation power of a global technology leader.

ETAP provides innovative software solutions for electrical systems, supporting customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their projects — from design and engineering to operations and maintenance.

The company values diversity and seeks passionate employees who want to contribute to a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

Your Responsibilities

• Use your electrical engineering expertise (MV/LV systems, energy management, renewables) to support ETAP’s real-world applications
• Deliver technical pre-sales support: prepare, run, and follow up on live software demos and presentations
• Analyze customer requirements and recommend fitting solutions (e.g., ETAP Power Simulator, SCADA, Microgrid, Caneco)
• Document sales activities in Salesforce and maintain clear processes
• Help target key customer groups and highlight relevant solutions (ETAP PS, ETAP Real Time)
• Prepare tailored offers and coordinate ETAP consulting services, incl. technical support and collaboration with subcontractors
• Provide technical input to the marketing team and support campaigns with practical insights
• Communicate product value clearly and convincingly
• Contribute to higher deal-conversion rates and increased product adoption — without revenue pressure

Your Profile

• 3–5 years of professional experience in an electrical engineering environment
• 1–2 years in B2B technical sales, customer service, or support
• Experience with CAD tools (e.g., Revit) and simulation software (ETAP, DigSilent, etc.)
• Basic understanding of electrical network calculations
• Strong communication, solution-oriented mindset, structured working style, and eagerness to learn
• Very good German skills (C1) and good English skills (B2)
• Confident with MS Office and at least one eCAD tool in a BIM environment
• Class B driver’s license
• Salesforce knowledge is a plus

Our Offer:

• Secure, long-term position in an international software company
