How to Apply for Digital Solutions Engineer
at Einride
🏢 About Einride
Einride is pioneering the future of freight transport by creating the world's first ecosystem for electric, autonomous, and sustainable shipping. Unlike traditional logistics companies, Einride combines electric heavy-duty vehicles with their proprietary Saga software platform to offer end-to-end emission-free transport solutions. Working here means contributing directly to decarbonizing global freight while being at the forefront of transportation technology innovation.
About This Role
As a Digital Solutions Engineer at Einride, you'll bridge the gap between customer logistics operations and Einride's Saga software platform, specifically focusing on how electric heavy-duty vehicles integrate into existing TMS workflows. You'll analyze customer pain points, design tailored solutions using Einride's services, and articulate the value proposition for transitioning to sustainable freight. This role directly impacts Einride's mission by enabling customers to adopt emission-free transport through technical consultation and solution design.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves analyzing customer TMS data flows to identify integration points for electric vehicles, collaborating with Saga platform engineers to design tailored solutions, and preparing proposals that quantify the operational and sustainability benefits of transitioning to Einride's ecosystem. You'll spend time understanding specific customer pain points around fleet electrification and crafting presentations that demonstrate how Einride's software resolves these challenges while maintaining operational efficiency.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Einride Is Looking For
- Has 5+ years in sales engineering or complex solutions sales specifically within TMS ecosystems, either from a TMS provider (like Blue Yonder, Oracle, SAP) or a major TMS user in logistics/transportation
- Demonstrates experience designing and implementing software solutions that integrate electric vehicles or sustainable technologies into existing logistics operations
- Possesses strong technical acumen to understand data flows within TMS workflows and can articulate how Saga software resolves integration challenges with electric heavy-duty vehicles
- Can craft compelling proposals that show the business value of transitioning from diesel to electric fleets within customer-specific operational contexts
📝 Tips for Applying to Einride
Highlight specific TMS platforms you've worked with (e.g., Blue Yonder, Manhattan, SAP TM) and describe how you've integrated new technologies into those systems
Include metrics showing how your solutions reduced emissions, improved efficiency, or lowered costs in logistics operations, aligning with Einride's sustainability mission
Demonstrate your understanding of electric vehicle charging infrastructure challenges in freight transport and how software can optimize routing and scheduling
Reference Einride's specific products like Saga platform and how you would position them against traditional TMS solutions during customer consultations
Showcase experience presenting technical solutions to both technical teams and executive stakeholders in the transportation/logistics industry
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
["Your direct experience with TMS systems and how you've previously analyzed customer workflows to identify integration points for new technologies", 'Specific examples of designing solutions that bridge software platforms with physical operations (especially if related to vehicle fleets or sustainability)', 'Understanding of the unique challenges in transitioning from diesel to electric heavy-duty vehicles in freight transport', "Why Einride's mission to decarbonize freight specifically appeals to you and how your background aligns with their ecosystem approach"]
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → Einride's Saga platform capabilities and how it differs from traditional TMS solutions
- → Case studies of Einride's existing customer implementations (like GE Appliances or Lidl) to understand their implementation approach
- → Sweden's and EU's regulations around freight emissions and how they impact logistics companies' technology decisions
- → The specific challenges of electric heavy-duty vehicle adoption in freight transport (charging infrastructure, range, total cost of ownership)
💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Generic sales engineering experience without specific TMS or logistics technology background
- Focusing only on software implementation without understanding the physical operational challenges of electric vehicle fleets
- Failing to demonstrate how your solutions create measurable business value (cost savings, emission reductions, efficiency gains) for logistics customers
