Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

Founded in 1999, Access Laser is a leader in designing and manufacturing high-end CO2 lasers. We are a rapidly growing company, experiencing double-digit revenue growth in recent years. We provide leading-edge gas-discharge-excited laser technologies to global industries in the medical, semiconductor, electronic, manufacturing, and scientific development R&D markets. We focus on creative designs that match our customers’ applications and solve difficult problems with innovative solutions.

We strive to provide a challenging and supportive environment where team members are encouraged to go beyond ordinary thinking and challenge the normal with the truly ingenious. Our team is our greatest asset and supporting their career development is the greatest investment we can make in our future.

In October 2017 we became a member of the TRUMPF Group, the world’s largest manufacturer of lasers and laser systems. Although we have retained the agility and flexibility of a small company, both our business and our employees now have access to new opportunities for growth.

As a Technical Sales Engineer you will be an individual contributor responsible for managing inbound leads, guiding customers through the technical sales process, coordinating with distributors and partners, and improving internal sales systems and reporting. This role blends technical expertise with commercial acumen and requires someone comfortable operating in a small, collaborative environment. This is a high-impact role critical to our strategic goal of accelerating revenue and market growth.
