Help customers solve real-world problems with advanced robotics.

Reach Robotics is looking for a Technical Sales Engineer to join our team and take responsibility for supporting and growing our customer base across the Americas.

As our only US-based team member, this is a highly autonomous and visible role. You’ll be the local face of Reach Robotics for customers across North, Central and South America, while working closely with our sales, engineering and product teams in Australia.

This is an existing and important position within the business, combining technical sales, business development and customer support. In addition to managing opportunities across the Americas, you’ll also provide technical and commercial support to customers globally when required.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work directly with customers to understand their requirements and identify how Reach Robotics technology can help solve their operational challenges.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing sales opportunities across the Americas
• Building relationships with customers across defense, maritime, subsea, robotics and other advanced technology markets
• Understanding customer missions and technical requirements and translating them into practical robotic solutions
• Conducting customer meetings, product demonstrations, trials and technical discussions
• Preparing and supporting proposals, quotations and technical responses
• Identifying new markets, customers and applications for Reach Robotics technology
• Supporting existing customers with technical and product inquiries
• Providing global customer support when required, working alongside our Australian team
• Representing Reach Robotics at industry events, conferences and customer demonstrations
• Working closely with engineering and product teams to communicate customer feedback and market requirements

Who we’re looking for

There are a couple of different backgrounds that could make someone successful in this role.

You might have 2–3 years of technical sales, business development or customer-facing engineering experience and be ready to take on a larger territory and more responsibility.

Alternatively, you may be transitioning from a US Navy or broader military background, bringing strong technical knowledge, operational experience and an understanding of how complex equipment is used in real-world environments.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who can operate independently, build trusted customer relationships and become the connection between our US customers and the wider Reach Robotics team.

Ideally, you’ll bring

• 2–3 years of technical sales, business development or customer-facing experience, and/or relevant Navy or military experience
• A strong technical aptitude and genuine interest in robotics and advanced technology
• The ability to understand customer problems and develop practical solutions
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The confidence to work independently as our primary representative in the Americas
• A hands-on attitude and willingness to get involved in demonstrations, trials and customer support
• Willingness to travel regularly across the Americas and occasionally internationally

Highly regarded

An engineering background or qualification in:

• Mechatronics
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical/Electronic Engineering
• Software Engineering

Experience or knowledge in the following would also be viewed favorably:

• Robotics and autonomous systems
• Maritime or subsea operations
• ROVs, UUVs or unmanned systems
• US Navy or naval operations
• Offshore and marine technology
• Technical field support or customer training

You don't need to tick every box.

Technical capability, curiosity, independence and the ability to build strong customer relationships will be just as important as having a particular degree or career path.

What we offer

• USD $90,000 – $110,000 base salary, depending on skills and experience
• Employee benefits
• Performance-based bonus structure
• Responsibility for a significant international sales territory
• Exposure to defense, maritime, subsea and advanced robotics customers
• The opportunity to work directly with our engineering and product teams
• Significant autonomy as Reach Robotics' US-based representative
• The opportunity to help shape our continued growth across the Americas
