Job title: Sales Engineer – Special Purpose Machines & Industrial Automation
Location: Chandigarh | Full time, on-roll | 0–3 years | Travel 50–60%
About us
SC Innovators (est. 2021) provides turnkey industrial automation to electrical and automotive OEMs. We design and build special purpose machines, automated assembly and testing lines, and custom automation systems. We handle every project end to end, from studying the application at the customer’s plant to commissioning the machine on site. Our team is small and hands-on, so you get real ownership early.
About the role
You will be the first technical contact a customer meets. You will find automation opportunities on customer shop floors and understand the manual process they want to automate. You will turn that into a clear brief for our design team, then carry the enquiry through costing, offer, negotiation and order closure. This is technical selling: you need to speak the customer’s engineering language, not just quote a price. You will report to the Sales Head / Director.
What you will do
- Build a pipeline of prospects in automotive, electrical, electronics, white goods, FMCG, pharma and general engineering, using calls, plant visits, portals, exhibitions and referrals.
- Visit customer plants to study the process and collect the inputs our design team needs: drawings and samples, cycle time, quality criteria, layout and utilities.
- Work with the design team on the concept and costing, then prepare the techno-commercial offer and the ROI case for the customer.
- Present and negotiate within approved limits, check the customer’s PO against our offer, and close orders.
- Be the customer’s single point of contact during execution, through FAT, dispatch and commissioning.
- Follow up on milestone payments and build repeat business, including additional machines, retrofits, spares and AMCs.
- Keep the enquiry tracker or CRM up to date and send weekly visit reports and funnel updates.
What we are looking for
- Diploma or B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation or Production
- 0–3 years in technical sales, application engineering or production. Freshers with strong fundamentals and a real interest in automation sales are welcome.
- Working knowledge of automation terms: PLC, HMI, servo, pneumatics, sensors, vision, robots, conveyors, jigs and fixtures
- Understanding of cycle time, throughput, OEE and rejection, and the ability to read a component drawing
- Good English and Hindi, written and spoken, and working knowledge of MS Excel, Word and PowerPoint
- Willingness to travel a lot. A driving licence and your own vehicle are preferred.
Valuable to have
- Exposure to SPMs, assembly automation or industrial product sales
- Experience with costing and quotations, or with a CRM tool
- Understanding of GST and the commercial terms used for capital equipment
Salary & benefits
- Salary as per industry standards, decided on the skill and aptitude you show during selection
- Travel allowance, site allowance and reimbursement of work expenses as per company policy
- PF, ESI / medical insurance and gratuity as applicable
- On-the-job training on our machines, and a growth path to Senior Engineer and team lead
