Our client is seeking a Micro-CT subject-matter expert with a strong commercial mindset who can identify opportunities, engage technical customers, and turn complex application needs into successful capital-equipment sales.

This is not simply an applications or demonstration role. The successful candidate will serve as the Micro-CT sales specialist for the Americas, combining deep technical credibility with the drive to develop opportunities and move customers from initial interest through evaluation, funding justification, and purchase.

Why You Should Apply

• Own the growth of a specialized Micro-CT product portfolio across the Americas
• Work with leading researchers, universities, technology companies, and industrial customers
• Influence approximately $1M capital-equipment opportunities
• Collaborate with global Micro-CT product, applications, marketing, and regional sales teams
• Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentive compensation
• Medical, dental, vision, disability insurance, 401(k), and 3 weeks' vacation

What You'll Be Doing

• Drive Micro-CT business development and sales growth across the U.S. and Canada
• Identify, qualify, and develop new Micro-CT opportunities and maintain an active sales pipeline
• Engage scientists, engineers, principal investigators, and technical decision-makers to understand applications and business needs
• Translate customer requirements into compelling Micro-CT solutions and value propositions
• Coordinate samples, technical evaluations, demonstrations, and global applications resources
• Help customers build technical justification, internal support, and funding for capital-equipment purchases
• Partner with regional sales managers to advance qualified opportunities through the sales process
• Develop relationships with key opinion leaders and strategic accounts
• Present at customer meetings, conferences, workshops, and technical events
• Monitor competitors and provide market intelligence to global product leadership
• Travel regularly throughout the Americas to develop and advance customer opportunities

About You

• Hands-on, applications, or sales experience with Micro-CT / X-ray computed tomography technology
• Strong understanding of Micro-CT principles and the ability to quickly learn a specialized product portfolio
• Experience may come from a Micro-CT manufacturer, laboratory, university, research organization, medical imaging environment, or industrial applications setting
• Commercially driven and comfortable advancing technical discussions toward funded purchasing decisions
• Strong business-development instincts; able to create opportunities rather than simply support existing ones
• Confident presenting and communicating with both highly experienced technical users and customers new to Micro-CT
• Bachelor's degree in Physics, Engineering, Materials Science, Natural Sciences, or related discipline required; advanced degree preferred
• Experience with scientific instrumentation or capital equipment strongly preferred
• Willing and able to travel extensively throughout the territory
• Must live within convenient access of a major U.S. airport

Candidates with experience on larger-format Micro-CT systems are encouraged to apply. Experience does not need to be limited to our client's specific Micro-CT segment.
