Job description

Sales Engineer – RMS Roller-Grinder
Location: Remote (HQ based in Harrisburg, South Dakota)
Employment Type: Full-Time

Are you a mechanically inclined, outside-the-box thinker who thrives on solving problems others don’t even see?

We’re looking for a Sales Engineer who is more than just technically proficient—you’re also a sharp communicator, a creative problem-solver, and a driven closer. In this role, you’ll take qualified leads and run with them, uncovering deeper opportunities and turning them into long-term customer wins.

You're Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will…

• Serve as the technical and strategic bridge between our engineering capabilities and customer needs
• Engage directly with clients to understand their challenges—including the ones they haven’t verbalized
• Develop tailored solutions by combining your mechanical understanding with innovative thinking
• Lead product presentations, on-site evaluations, and customer demos
• Work closely with internal teams (engineering, production, marketing) to drive each lead through to completion
• Translate complex technical concepts into compelling value propositions
• Deliver consistent, accurate reporting and sales forecasting
• Help shape go-to-market strategies through customer feedback and competitive insights

We're Excited About You Because…

• 3+ years in sales engineering, technical sales, or applications engineering
• Strong mechanical aptitude—you love how things work and how to make them better
• Proven ability to think critically and creatively under pressure
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills—you’re confident with customers and credible with engineers
• Experience in a technical sales, engineering, or field support role in manufacturing, industrial, or mechanical sectors
• Self-starter mentality—you don’t wait for instructions, you look for opportunities
• Ability to travel to client sites, trade shows, and industry events

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience in capital equipment sales or the manufacturing/processing industries
• Hands-on technical knowledge or a background in mechanical systems
• A sixth sense for identifying opportunities others don’t even know exist
• Comfort with CRMs, sales tools, or CAD systems (but we can teach that, too)

Why Join Us?

• Work with a team that values innovation, initiative, and impact
• Competitive salary of $80,000 - $95,000 (DOE) + commission
• Full benefits package (health, dental, 401k, PTO)
• A voice in shaping customer solutions and company growth
• Opportunity to grow in a company that believes in investing in its people
