Job description

An Inside Sales Engineer usually blends technical understanding with sales conversation skills. A strong candidate can explain how robot arms work, ask good questions to learn what a customer needs, and keep clear notes for the sales team. Since Standard Bots builds trainable industrial arms, comfort with automation and a willingness to learn the product matter more than deep coding.

How it fits the AI era

AI changes this work by handling routine lead sorting and basic product questions, so the human part shifts to listening, reading between the lines, and building trust with a prospect. The role still needs someone who can translate a customer's problem into a practical robot setup. Judgment about when a lead is a real fit stays with the person.

How it builds AI experience

This role offers hands on exposure to an AI platform that lets workers train robots by demonstration rather than code. A person would learn how that training data is captured and used, and how AI assists in matching a robot arm to a task. Building this experience means getting familiar with no code automation tools and the basics of how industrial robots are deployed.

Worth showing

• Technical discovery calls
• Robot arm basics
• CRM note keeping
• Clear product explanations
