Role:  Sales Engineer

Location:  San Diego, CA (in-office)

Salary:  $90,000-120,000/ yr + stock options, 401k matching, relocation assistance within the U.S. (if applicable), and other benefits.

Role Overview:

Seasats is working with customers all around the world, each with their own needs and priorities. As our market continues to multiply, we're looking for a Sales Engineer to help ensure that every prospective customer has their technical questions answered and their mission needs met.

About You:

You're a personable tech person, someone who enjoys learning about new technologies and sharing your knowledge with others. You probably identify as an engineer, but you might have to think about it a little. You'd be comfortable reading a datasheet in the morning and attending a networking event in the afternoon. Additionally, you are:

• Adept at translating customer needs into technical requirements
• Comfortable working at conference centers, naval bases, offices, and piers
• Happy to spend 20-40% of your time on the road
• Experienced in pre-sales engineering, field applications, or technical sales
• Familiar with autonomous systems
• A strong verbal and written communicator

You may also have one or more of the following qualifications:

• Background working and/or playing on the ocean
• Engineering, oceanographic, or similarly technical work experience
• Familiar with CRM systems (we use Salesforce)
• Experience working with startups

Role Details:

In this role, you'll be a key conduit between our in-house technology teams and new customers. Before deals get signed, you'll ensure that the mission matches our capabilities, working directly with customers, engineers and our leadership team. You'll deliver successful demonstrations, write or assist in writing proposals, and convey product feedback to the rest of the Seasats team.

This is a technical, customer-facing role for someone who loves field work and can speak both engineering and end-user.

Some specific tasks might include:

• Attending conferences, demonstrations, and other events
• Participating in and eventually leading presentations and on-water technology demonstrations
• Writing or assisting with proposal development
• Working with customers and our Proposal Manager to ensure proposals are scoped and priced appropriately
• Teaching customers and resellers product setup, operations, and maintenance
• Answering technical questions, remotely and in-person

Life at Seasats:

Along with your salary, you'll receive perks including:

• Stock options
• Competitive insurance (including a 99% employer-covered Gold HMO plan or other options)
• 401k matching up to 4% of salary
• Four free lunches per week
• An employee activity fund
• A pet-friendly office
• Unlimited/Flex PTO

We'll help you ramp up and will regularly take time to discuss what's working and what's not. We're also big on personal freedoms: if you're on top of your responsibilities and want the afternoon off to surf or spend time with friends and family, go for it! We have flexible hours, accommodating PTO, and a personable, high-achieving work culture. We want someone who's excited to work hard and have fun in this environment.

Our values are listed below; we're happy to explain them more during the interview process.

• Get Stuff Done
• Be Kind
• Fight Entropy
• Attack with Overwhelming Force
• Ask More Questions
• Lines, Not Dots

Hiring Notes:

If you decide to apply, you'll be asked to provide a resume and answer a few screening questions. If we decide to move forward with your application, you can expect no more than 2-3 more rounds of virtual interviews before a final in-person interview. If you have to travel to San Diego, we'll reimburse pre-approved travel costs.

Please note that we are currently unable to sponsor employment visas, so candidates must be independently authorized to work in the United States.

We appreciate diverse perspectives and life experiences, so we encourage women, minorities, and people of all backgrounds to apply. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

We look forward to reviewing your application!
