Role and Responsibilities:
As an AE you are the tip of the spear for the entire sales process and will effectively be building a “business within a business”.
- Meeting with Clients: The most critical part of your role is to discuss “business” requirements, challenges, and objectives with your customers, uncovering sales opportunities for our engineering services and technical solutions.

That means working with your team and the customers’ teams to drive funding, contracting, pulling in relevant stakeholders, engaging your OEM and other external partners, etc.
- Market Research and Prospecting: You may be given accounts to manage from our current portfolio; however, your primary sales opportunities will come from your own efforts. That means researching and reaching out to your prospects to open sales opportunities.
