Technical Sales Engineer - Seattle

A Stable, Relationship-Focused Sales Role—No Commissions, No High-Pressure Quotas

Are you a Technical Sales Engineer who enjoys helping customers solve problems, but wants to escape the stress of commission-driven environments? Do you want a role where your technical understanding, curiosity, and professionalism matter more than aggressive selling?

If you’re looking for consistent pay, a supportive team, and a long-term career path, this may be the right fit.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll blend your technical background with customer interaction—focusing on solution-based selling, project coordination, and long-term partnerships.

Your work will include:

• Managing and growing customer accounts across your territory

• Identifying new business opportunities through research, networking, and occasional cold outreach

• Meeting with engineering firms, contractors, distributors, and end users to understand their needs

• Preparing proposals, quotes, and equipment recommendations

• Following projects from initial contact through production and delivery

• Keeping customers informed with clear, professional communication

• Supporting equipment sales with parts and service recommendations

• Maintaining a healthy pipeline and organized customer records

You’ll also participate in strategic activities such as:

• Researching accounts and identifying key decision makers

• Attending selected trade shows to expand visibility and connections

• Working with internal teams to ensure alignment and excellent customer care

• Teaming with channel partners to close deals and expand the territory

What You Bring

You’ll thrive here if you have:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field

• 1–3+ years of technical sales, account management, or capital equipment experience (or strong aptitude and willingness to learn)

• Mechanical/electrical understanding and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly

• A relationship-driven approach—focused on trust and long-term partnership

• Strong organization, follow-through, and time management

• A self-starter mindset with comfort managing your schedule and territory

• Willingness to travel regionally with occasional overnight trips

Work Environment & Physical Expectations

• Mix of office, customer sites, and driving

• Occasional lifting up to 25 lbs

• Periodic bending or moving at customer sites

• Mostly Monday–Friday schedule

• Occasional overnight travel

Why This Role Appeals to Experienced Sales Engineers

• Guaranteed, stable pay—no commissions or quota stress

• A laid-back, professional culture that values customer relationships

• Freedom and autonomy to manage your territory

• A respected company with strong internal support

• Clear opportunities for growth in responsibility and earnings

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys sales but prefers a professional, engineering-forward environment with steady compensation rather than commission-based pressure.
