Job description

•    Own quotes, pricing, and margin analysis for standard and custom products

•    Lead new product development in partnership with Engineering, Production, and Purchasing

•    Build Bills of Material (BOMs) and routings in our ERP system

•    Present solutions directly to customers during site visits and technical reviews

•    Use SolidWorks (preferred) to support design and product development activities

•    Monitor competitive offerings and market trends to inform product strategy


What We're Looking For

•    Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or related Engineering field — or equivalent technical experience

•    5+ years of engineering experience with 2+ years in a customer-facing or sales role

•    Prior experience as a Sales Engineer is strongly preferred

•    Ability to read technical drawings and apply manufacturing cost knowledge to pricing decisions

•    Proficiency in SolidWorks or comparable 3D modeling software (preferred)

•    Background in steel racking, telecom, material handling, or industrial manufacturing a plus

•    Strong communication skills; Spanish language proficiency is a plus
