How to Apply for Sales Engineer
at Freudenberg
🏢 About Freudenberg
Freudenberg is pioneering emission-neutral energy systems specifically for heavy-duty e-mobility, positioning itself at the forefront of sustainable transportation technology. Working here means contributing directly to decarbonizing commercial vehicles, which is a critical global challenge, within a company focused on tailor-made solutions rather than off-the-shelf products.
About This Role
As a Sales Engineer at Freudenberg Mexico, you'll lead project steps within broader initiatives to sell and implement custom emission-neutral energy systems for heavy-duty vehicles. This role is impactful because you'll bridge technical solutions with client needs in the growing Latin American e-mobility market, directly advancing sustainable transportation infrastructure.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves analyzing client requirements for heavy-duty vehicle energy systems, developing tailored technical proposals, collaborating with engineering teams on solution design, and guiding junior colleagues on project implementation. You'll spend time both in client meetings explaining complex emission-neutral technologies and working independently on project documentation and specifications.
