Sales Engineer - Europe/EMEA

POSITION SUMMARY

The Sales Engineer is an externally focused technical sales professional who bridges customer needs, commercial strategy, and LiquidStack’s advanced liquid cooling technologies. This role supports the commercial sales organization by providing technical expertise, solution scoping, cost estimation, and customer education throughout the pre-sales cycle.

Acting as an “outside applications engineer,” the Sales Engineer II engages directly with engineering consultants, contractors, partners, and end users to influence specifications, build technical credibility, and drive revenue growth. The role requires strong technical depth, commercial acumen, and the ability to independently represent LiquidStack in customer-facing environments.

Role Purpose

• Serve as a proactive, externally focused technical seller who increases market awareness and positions LiquidStack as a trusted solution provider.
• Act as a technical educator and commercial influencer with key stakeholders, including engineering consultants, general contractors, and operators.
• Translate customer technical requirements into commercially viable solutions that support sales growth and long-term customer adoption.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Customer & Market-Facing Responsibilities

• Proactively engage with:
  • Engineering consultants
  • General contractors
  • Strategic partners and system integrators
• Conduct technical presentations, product demonstrations, and “lunch & learn” sessions to educate the market on LiquidStack technologies and solutions.
• Influence project specifications so LiquidStack solutions are included in consultant recommendations and shortlists.

Technical Sales & Solution Development

• Support the commercial sales team with:
  • Technical solution scoping
  • Product configuration recommendations

• Develop layouts, conceptual designs, and technical documentation in collaboration with Applications Engineering.
• Review sales proposals for technical accuracy, completeness, and alignment with customer needs.
• Provide input on product positioning, competitive differentiation, and solution feasibility.

Technical & Commercial Blend

• Demonstrate sufficient technical depth to independently engage engineering consultants and contractors.
• Discuss system concepts, architecture, and integration without constant escalation to Engineering.
• Operate with a strong commercial mindset, balancing technical rigor with sales efficiency and customer value.

Collaboration & Reporting

  • Commercial Sales team
  • Applications Engineers and Technical Leads for advanced technical support
