About the role

The Associate Sales Engineer will support the technical side of customer conversations, translating electrical specifications, single-line diagrams, and project requirements into accurate quotes and clear proposals. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and commercial teams, with a clear path to Sales Engineer.

Responsibilities

• Support first calls with prospective customers to understand their control panel needs, project timelines, and technical requirements
• Review customer-provided documentation (single-line diagrams, BOMs, specifications, RFQs) and translate it into standard inputs that drive our quoting process, with guidance from senior team members on non-standard cases
• Partner with our engineering team to scope standard builds, escalating complex or non-standard requirements appropriately
• Support the quote-to-close technical workflow — follow-ups, clarifications, and revisions
• Help build and refine internal software tooling and processes that make our quoting motion faster and more accurate
• Serve as a technical point of contact between customers and our internal design and manufacturing teams
• Contribute customer insights back to product and engineering to inform our roadmap

Requirements

Customer-obsessed mindset and eagerness to build trust with technical buyers

Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment
