Job Summary:
Axon is on a mission to protect life through innovative public safety solutions. As a Senior Sales Engineer for the Public Safety sector, you will leverage your technical expertise to collaborate with sales teams and customers, translating complex technical requirements into effective solutions while ensuring a smooth transition to post-sales implementation.
Responsibilities:
• Partner with AEs and RSMs to qualify opportunities, understand customer challenges, and design tailored technical solutions.
• Conduct in-depth discovery with 911 centers, emergency management agencies, and public safety IT teams.
• Deliver engaging product demonstrations, technical workshops, and proof-of-concept sessions tailored to the agency’s environment.
• Lead and respond to RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires with accuracy and professionalism.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, benefit-focused explanations for non-technical audiences.
• Serve as the subject-matter expert for Prepared’s platform architecture, integrations, APIs, and data workflows.
• Provide configuration and system design guidance based on customer requirements, existing CAD/NG911 systems, and IT infrastructure.
• Advise agencies on best practices for network security, system interoperability, and deployment planning.
• Stay up-to-date with public safety software trends, standards (NG911, CAD, RMS, PSAP operations), and competitor offerings.
• Work alongside Sales, Product, and Engineering to continuously improve our demo environments, messaging, and field readiness.
• Collect and relay customer feedback to influence product roadmap and technical documentation.
• Support proposal teams with technical content, diagrams, and specifications.
• Assist marketing and partner teams in developing technical collateral, webinars, and events.
• Build trust with agency decision-makers, IT administrators, and operations leaders by demonstrating deep understanding of public safety workflows.
• Ensure technical confidence throughout the sales cycle to accelerate buying decisions.
• Represent Prepared at tradeshows, conferences, and industry events as a technical ambassador.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 8+ years of progressive experience in public safety, emergency communications, or PSAP operations, with senior-level leadership experience strongly preferred (Director, Assistant Director, Executive Director, or equivalent).
• Demonstrated experience selling, implementing, or enabling public safety software (e.g., NG911 call handling, CAD, RMS, ESInet, radio systems, mass notification, or emergency communications platforms).
• Proven ability to operate as a field-facing technical advisor to Sales—owning discovery, solution design, demonstrations, technical validation, and RFP/RFI responses end-to-end.
• Deep understanding of PSAP workflows, operational constraints, funding models, procurement cycles, and compliance environments, including experience presenting to boards, executives, and elected officials.
• Strong technical fluency across cloud-based platforms, integrations/APIs, network infrastructure, data workflows, and system interoperability within public safety environments.
• Track record of building credibility with PSAP directors, IT leadership, emergency management leaders, and dispatch supervisors through consultative, trust-based engagement.
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap priorities based on real-world PSAP needs.
• Comfortable operating in high-growth, ambiguous environments with minimal playbooks—able to create structure, demo narratives, and field enablement materials where needed.
• Exceptional executive communication and storytelling skills—able to translate technical capability into operational ROI and mission impact.
• Willingness to travel up to 75% and represent Prepared as a technical ambassador at industry conferences and customer events.
Preferred:
• Candidates who are well-positioned for success in this role typically bring hands-on experience working with the core technology systems that power emergency communications centers.
• Experience with 911 call handling systems (CHE) such as VESTA, Viper, or Solacom.
• Experience with Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) platforms used to manage emergency response workflows.
• Experience with radio console systems supporting multi-agency communications.
• Experience with logging recorders used for call review, compliance, and operational analysis.
• Experience with network and traffic analysis tools, such as Wireshark, used to troubleshoot system performance and integrations.
• Successful candidates often have direct experience supporting, configuring, troubleshooting, or operating these systems within PSAPs, ECCs, or other mission-critical public safety environments.
