Job summary

This is a new-business role with strong cross-team support. The role requires technical sales experience, familiarity with electromechanical products, and willingness to travel.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years in technical sales, applications engineering or business development with electromechanical products.
• Working knowledge of electric motors, motion control or automation.
• Proof that you can find and win new B2B business, not only look after existing accounts.
• A credible technical conversation with an engineer, and the ability to explain the same thing to a buyer or a manager.
• You plan your own week, follow up without being chased and take ownership of your numbers.
• Regular travel across the territory and to trade shows is fine with you.

Responsibilities

• Map your territory. Research OEMs in semiconductor equipment, robotics, industrial automation, machine tools, metrology and inspection, and find where direct drive fits.
• Open doors with design engineers, controls specialists, project managers, buyers and senior decision-makers. By phone, email and LinkedIn, at trade shows and on site.
• Dig into the application: force and torque, speed, acceleration, accuracy, repeatability, duty cycle, stroke, payload, thermal limits. Spot where a linear or torque motor beats a ball screw, belt, gearbox or a competitor's motor, sometimes before the customer sees it.
• Bring that data to our engineering and application teams and turn it into a motor solution, a proposal and, where needed, a demo, proof of concept or trial.
• Run each opportunity from first contact through qualification, quotation and negotiation to the purchase order. Keep the CRM, forecast and next steps current.
• Report what you see in the market: competitor activity, new applications, accounts worth a bigger push.
