Job Summary

The Technical Presales Engineer will play a key role in supporting the Sales team and Account Managers in presales activities.

The Solutions Engineer will use their technical expertise to demonstrate how our solutions can resolve the client’s requirements. To accomplish that, Solution Engineers must try to understand the customer’s challenges and requirements through conversations with the customer’s technical team, matching those requirements with the right combination and configuration of our solutions. The Solutions Engineer is responsible for preparing and delivering product demonstrations to customers that match the expectations of the customers. We expect your demos to go above and beyond a standard demo, incorporating the knowledge you have gathered about the client’s needs and creating a first “wow” experience with the client.

As a Solutions Engineer you are the technical SPOC for the client during the presales stage, ready to answer technical questions rapidly and professionally, and if needed involving additional technical experts from within the wider company. In some cases, the process may include technical compliance analysis (like in an RFI/RFP process) in which case a Solutions Engineer is expected to support the bid manager to supply the right answers to the requirements list, carefully looking after the balance between delivering what the client wants and setting the right expectations (that means avoiding to overpromise on anything that could not be delivered).

Position ideally located in one of our Centers of Excellence (Ghent, Frankfurt, or Cambridge) with some flexibility of hours, interesting employee benefits, and possible career building experience with growth opportunities. Ideal for entry-to-mid level professionals seeking to grow a career with an international tech company.
