Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications and warehouse logistics.
As a Sales Engineer supporting the Sales organization, you will help highlight the “art of the possible”, guide customers on the journey of making autonomous robots part of their day-to-day operations, and execute on your team's process to ensure our customers find value from our robots. You will accomplish this by aligning our robot’s capabilities, any relevant sensors, communications, software, and services into a defined workflow, with a Solution Proposal, to map out how our customers will get value out of the solution. You and your team will partner with the Sales team by being the technical subject matter experts in our robots, assisting with cross-functional customer team alignment, and collecting the relevant information to appropriately issue proposals and ROI analysis to prospects and customers.
To thrive in this role, you must provide the depth and breadth of knowledge to earn our customers' and prospects' trust and guide them to a valuable use of our robotic technology that generates positive business value for them. You will also enable your team and our salespeople to showcase Boston Dynamics' best capabilities. You will need to communicate effectively with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, both internally and externally, explore use cases with operators of our robots and guide them on the path that brings the fastest value from our solutions.
