Sales Development Representative; Hard Tech

But we cannot manufacture our abundant future while the reactors, fabs, and production lines that make everything we use still run on architecture locked in the 90s.

Neuron Industries is the industrial technology company for the AI era. We are rebuilding the entire industrial automation tech stack, from hardware to runtime to the AI fabric, without sacrificing a minute of uptime. Controls projects that took weeks now take hours.

Come help us build the golden age of American manufacturing.

Find the hard-tech companies that fit, reach the controls engineer or plant manager who feels the pain, and book them into a meeting they're glad they took.

• Build the target list with our ICP screen: hard-tech factories, process plants, machine builders. Quality in, quality out.
• Run personalized outbound every day: email, Linked In, phone, and the occasional trade-show floor. Volume matters but nothing goes out that reads like a bot.
• Hit the road about 25% of the time: door-to-door pitching at industrial parks and machine shops, first-pass demos on the prospect's floor, and conferences with us, pre-booked meetings, same-day follow-up.
• Qualify inbound and outbound alike: real pain, real authority, real timeline. Remove bad fits fast.
• Book and prep the founders' meetings, and keep the CRM honest: a tight brief before every call, every touch logged, every follow-up on time, pipeline numbers the founders can trust.
• Run an AI-first desk with judgment: agents draft your research and first passes, you do the thinking and the personal touch. We dial in messaging by hand before we automate anything.

• Evidence of grit with a scoreboard: sports, service, a side business, door-to-door, anything where you kept score and kept going. This job is taking a hundred no's to find the yes.
• You write short, sharp, and human. Your cold email sounds like a person who did their homework, because you did.
• Phone and doorstep courage. You'll cold call and cold walk into machine shops and rocket factories, and a no doesn't dent you.
• Genuine curiosity about how things get made. You'll learn to talk shop with controls engineers, and you'll like it.
• Organized to a fault, and coachable: follow-ups never drop, notes are current, you know exactly where every prospect stands, and you want the weekly call-and-email review rather than dreading it.
• AI-forward: you already use AI to research and draft faster, and you know an automated-sounding email is worse than no email.

• Prior SDR or BDR time, especially for technical or industrial products.
• You've seen a shop floor: family business, trade, internship, or a job that got your hands dirty.
• You've sold something before. Retail, fundraising, and door-to-door all count.

• $65,000–$85,000 annual base salary, with $30,000–$35,000 annual commission at target and $95,000–$120,000 annual on-target earnings including base and commission, plus equity. On-target earnings assume achievement of the targets in the commission plan; actual variable pay depends on performance. Base salary reflects experience and role scope.
• 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (premium PPO and HMO options)
• Paid vacation, sick leave, and company holidays
• Free daily catered lunch and dinner

Neuron Industries is an equal opportunity employer: we hire on ability, hunger, and what you can build. And if this role excites you but your experience doesn't line up perfectly with every bullet above, apply anyway. The bullets describe the work, not the prerequisite for success.
