Your role

Within 2Connect, we are looking for a Sales Engineer II for the Medical & Industrial Automation (MIA) business line. In this role, you are responsible for translating customer requirements into technically feasible solutions and guiding projects from initial request through to first production. You will work on applications such as sensors, automation equipment, medical devices, and industrial systems, often in high-mix, low-to-medium volume environments.

 You operate at the heart of the organization, continuously interacting with customers, internal departments, and international manufacturing locations. You ensure that technical challenges are properly defined, aligned, and successfully implemented.

• Monitor priorities and progress across multiple concurrent projects

• Ensure timely follow‑up and obtain required information from stakeholders

Who are you?
