About the job

Technical Sales Engineer – Sensors | Design-In

Location: UK

Job Type: Full-time

Working Model: [Hybrid / Field-based – confirm]

We are working with a leading technology business seeking an experienced Technical Sales Engineer / Sensors Sales Professional with a strong track record in design-in and application-led technical sales.

This is an individual contributor role, not a people-management position. You will work closely with customer Engineering, R&D and technical teams to understand application requirements, identify the right sensing technology and influence the design of sensor solutions into new and existing applications.

The Role

You will be responsible for developing customer opportunities from the initial technical challenge through to design win, production and recurring revenue.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing new business opportunities and growing existing customer relationships
• Working directly with Design Engineers, Electronics Engineers, R&D teams, Systems Engineers and Engineering Managers
• Understanding customer applications and identifying technical requirements
• Recommending and specifying appropriate sensor technologies
• Supporting evaluation, samples and prototype development
• Providing technical input throughout the customer's development process
• Influencing sensor selection and achieving design wins
• Managing opportunities through to production and recurring revenue
• Working with procurement and commercial stakeholders to develop opportunities
• Building long-term technical relationships with customers

Sensor Technologies

We are looking for someone with broad sensor knowledge rather than experience restricted to one specific technology.

Relevant experience may include:

• Temperature / thermal sensing
• Pressure sensing
• Position / displacement sensing
• Proximity sensing
• Optical / photoelectric sensing
• Force / load / strain sensing
• Motion / acceleration / inertial sensing
• Magnetic / Hall-effect sensing
• Humidity / environmental sensing
• Flow / fluid sensing
• Current sensing
• Gas / chemical sensing
• Other industrial or electronic sensor technologies

You do not need experience across every technology listed. What matters is having sufficient technical breadth to understand different sensing principles and engage credibly with customers about their applications.
