What makes hiring in Industrial Automation different
A few things we keep in mind on every search in this industry.
1
The best people combine disciplines.
A strong applications engineer understands mechanics, controls and software, and can explain all three to a customer. That combination is rare, and it rarely applies to job postings.
2
Channel matters.
Many automation products reach customers through distributors and integrators. Sales leaders need to know how to win and keep a channel, not just close direct deals.
3
OEM, integrator and end-user experience are different.
Someone who has spent years at an integrator thinks differently from someone who builds the product. We help you decide which background actually fits the job.
