Applications Engineer​/Technical Sales

Vectis Automation is the pioneer and market leader of cobot welding & cutting tools. Founded in early 2019, Vectis addresses the need for low-risk, low-cost, and easy-to-use automation solutions for small to medium-sized shops. We hold strong values of customer focus, integrity, mutual respect, empowerment of team members, listening, and continuous innovation. Some core mindsets at Vectis are "treat others the way you want to be treated", "no surprises", and "no bad deployments" (i.e. do the right thing in the technical sales process to qualify the application and ensure customer success!)

This is a full-time role for a Technical Sales / Applications Engineering function. The role would preferably be based at our Northern Colorado headquarters (Loveland/Fort Collins area), but could also be located remotely in the Upper Midwest or the West Coast. The function supports the customer experience & business growth in their region: earning business by conducting a customer-focused technical sales journey for warm leads, empowering customer success with technical support, and building long-term relationships with partners & customers.

The role is an individual contributor level reporting to a Regional Manager, but can grow into being the lead for customer accounts.
