If you are ready to be a Solutions Engineer at SADA, we have an exciting opportunity to join our team! 

As a Solutions Engineer (SE) at SADA, you will be responsible for working with clients to understand their technical needs and design solutions to meet those needs in the form of a Technical Success Plan (TSP). You will collaborate with a team of engineers, salespeople, and key stakeholders to develop and implement customized solutions for clients. You will also provide training and enablement sessions to help clients understand and use the delivered plans. You will also participate in whiteboarding sessions, demos, and proofs-of-concept to demonstrate the capabilities and benefits of the solutions. 

Solution Engineers are technical experts available to help prospective clients and customers with questions and issues outside the relationship holder's expertise. As a Solution Engineer, you will be an invaluable resource for clients with specialized technical needs. You can provide insight and guidance on your solutions. SEs can provide added value to customers and help build solid relationships.

In addition, the candidate enjoys working in an organization that celebrates growth and collaboration between departments while creating an exciting, fun, teamwork-oriented environment. We are looking for those who want to grow with SADA and are in this for the long term. We’ll support you with the tools and resources you need to reach new milestones with your team as you help our customers reach their goals.

Pathway to Success 

#BeOneStepAhead: At SADA, we are in the business of digital transformation. We are focused on leading-edge technology that is ever-evolving. We embrace change enthusiastically and encourage agility. Our teams know that change is inevitable and assume it to expand their skills, continuously preparing for future customer needs. 

Your success starts by positively impacting the direction of a fast-growing practice with vision, passion, and empathy. You will be measured quarterly by the breadth, magnitude, and quality

of your contributions, your ability to estimate accurately, how well you collaborate with your peers, and the consultative polish you bring to customer and alliance partner interactions. 

Expectations 

Proactive Customer Facing - You will interact with customers regularly, sometimes daily, other times weekly/bi-weekly. Common touch points occur when qualifying potential TSP opportunities, at project kickoff, throughout the engagement as progress is communicated, and at project close. In addition, you can expect to interact with a range of customer stakeholders, including engineers, technical project managers, and executives. 

Reactive Customer Facing - You will be the escalation point for technical consultations, including ad-hoc interactions. In addition, you can expect to work closely with Sales Representatives, relationship managers, and technical resources assigned to the customer. 

Onboarding/Training - The first several weeks of onboarding are dedicated to learning and will encompass learning materials/assignments, compliance training, and meetings with relevant individuals. Details of the timeline are shared closer to the start date. We onboard new hires remotely.
