Job description

Robotics Sales Engineer Career at Phillips Corp USA — Remote

This is a field sales role in the high-growth industrial automation and robotics sector, which is experiencing significant demand as manufacturers seek to address labor shortages and efficiency pressures. The $70,000–$90,000 base plus uncapped commissions is on the lower-to-mid end of the market for experienced B2B automation sales professionals — top performers in this space can earn $150,000–$200,000+ OTE, so commission structure is critical to evaluate during interviews.

Green flags:

• Automation and robotics sales is a highly transferable, in-demand skill set with long-term career durability.
• Haas Automation familiarity is a differentiator — Haas is the largest US-based CNC machine tool builder, giving this experience strong market credibility.
• "Million Dollar Club" language signals a performance-driven culture that rewards top earners.
• Exposure to OPTO automation and robotic welding deepens your technical portfolio.

Considerations:

• The aggressive, superlative-heavy language ("dominate," "legendary," "unstoppable") can signal a high-pressure culture — clarify quota expectations and turnover rates.
• No explicit mention of PTO, health benefits, and professional development budget — ask specifically in interviews.
• Territory ownership is a career asset, but lack of remote flexibility limits work-life balance options long-term.

Are you a top-tier performer driven by the thrill of dominating your territory, engineering transformative solutions, and delivering legendary customer experiences?

At Phillips, we aren't just selling equipment—we are unlocking massive productivity leaps through cutting-edge automation and robotics, making us the only partner our customers will ever choose. We are looking for an elite sales and solutions professional to take ownership of a premier territory, out-execute the competition, and set the benchmark for our entire organization.

What you will do:

You will take total ownership of your territory to dominate the competition, winning the most lucrative automation, machine-tending, and robotic welding opportunities at industry-leading margins by building unbreakable relationships and mastering competitive strategies. Alongside this, you will engineer transformative solutions by rapidly designing and executing robotic machine-tending and OPTO automation projects that redefine customer performance, profitability, and manufacturing excellence.

To ensure long-term market leadership, you will build unstoppable alliances with partners and champions—seamlessly aligning with Haas Automation, vendors, educators, and the Phillips 360 team—while delivering legendary customer experiences. Ultimately, you will drive operational and sales excellence through discipline, CRM mastery, flawless forecasting, and expert-level execution that consistently exceeds Million Dollar Club performance and sets the benchmark for the entire organization.

What we're looking for:

• Proven track record of high-impact B2B sales success in manufacturing, robotics, automation, or machine tools (Haas experience/familiarity a major plus).
• Deep technical aptitude or engineering mindset regarding robotic machine-tending, welding, and advanced manufacturing systems.
• An obsession with customer satisfaction, relationship-building, and maintaining Net Promoter excellence (CNPS 80+).
• Exceptional organizational discipline, forecasting accuracy, and CRM proficiency.
• A competitive hunter's mentality combined with the strategic vision of a trusted advisor.
• Ability to travel by car as needed to meet with customers.
