Sales Engineer Jobs in Illinois

A Sales Engineer in the manufacturing engineering industry is a professional who combines technical knowledge with sales skills to provide advice and support on a range of products. They are responsible for explaining complex technical information to clients, working on product development and innovation, providing input on sales strategies and marketing actions, and identifying new business opportunities. Additionally, they serve as the key point of contact for clients, answering queries, providing technical advice, and introducing new products.

Potential Sales Engineers should possess a strong technical background, excellent interpersonal skills, and a proven sales track record. They should also have the ability to manage multiple projects and work to tight deadlines.
