Position Summary:

We are seeking a driven Technical Sales Engineer to support our growing sales efforts in the Magnetics product group. This role is critical in helping qualify opportunities, provide high-value technical support, and guide both customers and internal sales teams through the technical aspects of the sales cycle.

The ideal candidate will play a pivotal role in identifying and converting new business, with a strong emphasis on technical communication, value-added solution selling, and nurturing early-stage opportunities into long-term customers. While this role is primarily focused on magnetics, cross-selling into our other product categories will be rewarded with performance-based bonus incentives.



Key Responsibilities:

  • Opportunity Qualification & Support
  • Work closely with sales and marketing to vet and qualify inbound and outbound leads.
  • Evaluate customer technical requirements and assess alignment with our magnetics product offering.
  • Prioritize high-potential opportunities and support hand-off to appropriate sales channels.
  • Technical Communication
  • Serve as the subject matter expert on transformers, inductors, chokes, and other magnetic components.
  • Translate customer technical specifications into actionable product recommendations or custom solutions.
  • Provide detailed product information, application guidance, and design-in support.
  • Sales Enablement
  • Partner with internal account managers, distributors, and regional reps to move opportunities forward.
  • Attend customer calls, provide pre-sales technical guidance, and respond to RFQs with appropriate documentation and product data.
  • Track all activity and opportunity stages within CRM systems.
  • Content creation for internal and external for sales promotion.
  • New Customer Acquisition & Cross-Selling
  • Drive growth by converting new magnetic customers into active accounts.
  • Receive tiered compensation for new customer wins, with additional kicker bonuses for any successful cross-selling into other product groups (e.g., relays, displays).
  • Collaboration & Feedback Loop
  • Provide feedback to product management on customer needs and market trends.
  • Assist with product training for internal sales staff and external channel partners.



Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Technology, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • 3 years in technical sales, field applications, or product support – ideally in magnetics, power components, or related electronic hardware.
  • Strong understanding of power components and their applicability to their customer design.
  • Demonstrated ability to support full-cycle sales, especially early-stage qualification and solution crafting.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal.
  • CRM proficiency (e.g., Salesforce) and experience with quoting tools is a plus.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally and independently in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.



Why Join Us?

  • Direct impact on the company’s growth in a high-priority product group.
  • Compensation structure designed to reward new customer wins and expansion efforts.
  • Opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and sales, solving real-world challenges.
  • Flexible working environment and collaborative culture.
