Business Development Executive

Mech-Mind Robotics is a global leader in industrial 3D vision and AI-powered robotics software. Our technology enables manufacturers, logistics providers, and automation integrators to deploy intelligent robotic systems that see, decide, and act with precision. With a rapidly growing North America footprint, we are building a high-performance sales team to accelerate market penetration across key industrial verticals.

The Business Development Executive (BDE) is an early-career sales role designed for engineering-minded individuals who are energized by technology and eager to launch a career in enterprise sales.

This position is a critical pipeline engine for the North America sales team. High performers will have a clearly defined path to advance into a full‑cycle Outside Sales / Account Executive role.
