We’re looking for an early‑career Sales Engineer who is passionate about technology, enjoys learning how things work, and can confidently present technical ideas to others. This role is designed for recent graduates or candidates with less than one year of professional experience who want to build a career in Sales Engineering. You’ll learn TP‑Link’s Omada networking and surveillance solutions through hands‑on training, labs, customer scenarios, and mentorship from experienced engineers. You don’t need to know everything on day one. We’re looking for someone who is curious, learns quickly, enjoys digging into technical problems, and can turn what they learn into clear and engaging presentations.

• Learn TP‑Link’s networking and surveillance portfolio, including wired and wireless networking, cloud management, security, and related technologies.
• Build hands‑on knowledge by configuring, testing, and troubleshooting products in lab environments.
• Support Sales Managers with customer presentations, technical questions, and solution proposals.

• Strong learning ability and willingness to continuously develop new technical skills.
• Good communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
• Comfortable working hands‑on with hardware and software.
• Willingness to travel when needed for customer meetings, training, demonstrations, and industry events.

Advantageous Skills & Experience

• Coursework, labs, internships, personal projects, or student activities involving computer networking, Wi‑Fi, cybersecurity, surveillance, cloud computing, or IT infrastructure.
• Basic understanding of IP networking concepts such as IP addressing, VLANs, routing, switching, and Wi‑Fi.
• Experience giving technical presentations, classroom presentations, product demonstrations, workshops, or technical training.
• Home labs, networking projects, programming projects, hackathons, technical clubs, or other evidence of hands‑on interest in technology.
• Industry certifications such as CCNA or similar certifications.
