We’re Hiring – Here’s Why You Might Be a Great Fit

Are you an experienced pre-sales engineer or technical sales professional who thrives in high-stakes conversations with Aerospace & Defense (A&D) customers? Tired of supporting software solutions that feel like a square peg in a round hole for the complex needs of A&D? We hear you—and we’d love to chat.

Do any of these sound familiar?

✅ You’ve worked as a Solution Engineer for MES, MRO, ERP, or PLM products, but the solutions always felt like they needed too much customization for the A&D market.

✅ You’re ready to support a market-leading MES/MRO solution built specifically for A&D, trusted by 9 of the top 10 A&D companies, with 90%+ requirements fit out of the box.

✅ You want to be part of a winning team that crushed its FY25 goals with:

• 🚀 173% YoY growth in license subscriptions

• 🎯 100% sales attainment (All Solution Engineers exceeded their team quotas and individual quota)

• 💰 93% YoY increase in total contract value

If that’s you—let’s connect.
