The Sales Engineer is a crucial part of our ‘sales team’ approach to our customers, as led by an Account Manager. The SE often becomes the engineer of record on many larger opportunities, assuming responsibilities for proof-of-concept deliverables to demonstrate our capabilities, as well as help establish and seek agreement on success criteria for customer acceptance for these solutions. This is a role where decisions are to be made quickly – sometimes autonomously – in order to keep pace with the fast response our customers and sales peers expect. Continuous engagement and communication with the sales team is needed to make sure that technical expectations align with the desired customer impact. An SE can have responsibility of many projects concurrently in order to help assure our sales success with our customers.
