About the Role
We're looking for a technically versatile IoT Solutions Engineer to own the customer experience end to end - from pre-sales scoping and solution design, through implementation and delivery, to post-launch support and account growth. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role for someone who's comfortable moving between a whiteboard conversation with a customer's ops team and a technical deep-dive with engineering.
You'll work across the full lifecycle of our IoT deployments (BLE, RFID, GPS, and related hardware), translating business and operational needs into scoped, documented technical solutions - then seeing them through to a successful handoff and beyond.
Pre-Sales
- Partner with Sales on technical discovery calls, scoping conversations, and solution design for prospective customers
- Translate customer requirements gathered in conversation into clear, documented technical solutions
- Assess and document solution complexity to support accurate implementation estimates
- Deliver product and platform demos tailored to a customer's use case
- Configure front-end platform settings and integrations to match the agreed solution
- Work hands-on with RFID, BLE, GPS, and other IoT hardware during deployment and testing
- Build and troubleshoot integrations using APIs, webhooks, and MQTT
- Collaborate closely with our engineering team (a global, distributed team) to resolve technical issues and refine solutions
- Manage and configure mobile devices as part of deployment
- Own a clean handoff from delivery into steady-state support
- Define and document scope of work for customer engagements
- Train customer teams - technical concepts in plain language for non-technical stakeholders
- Analyze deployment and usage data (Excel, SQL) to monitor solution health and identify opportunities
- Serve as an ongoing technical point of contact for assigned accounts
Requirements
Technical Experience
- Hands-on experience with RFID, BLE, GPS, or other IoT hardware technologies
- Front-end platform configuration
- Working knowledge of APIs, webhooks, and MQTT-based integrations
- Strong Excel skills and comfort with data analysis
- Working knowledge of SQL
- Experience with mobile device management (MDM)
- Proven ability to translate customer conversations into technical requirements and documented solutions
- Running customer demos and product/platform walkthroughs
- Delivering training that makes technical concepts accessible to non-technical audiences
- Comfortable owning the relationship across the full pre-sale-to-delivery arc, not just one stage
- Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple accounts and projects at once
- Self-starter who takes ownership without needing close direction
- Genuinely enjoys solving complex, ambiguous technical problems
- Willing and able to travel up to 50%
- Postman
- Atlassian suite (Jira)
- Salesforce
- CAD or similar design/visualization tools
- MSSQL
- Comfort using AI tools (e.g., Claude) to support day-to-day work
- 5-10 years of experience in a solutions engineering, sales engineering, or technical customer success role
- Demonstrated experience owning technical relationships across pre-sales, implementation, and post-sales
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience
Benefits
- Competitive base salary.
- Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, 401(k), etc.).
