Your role
Within 2Connect, we are looking for a Sales Engineer II for the Medical & Industrial Automation (MIA) business line.

The role is technical and project‑driven, with a clear position between sales, engineering, and operations. You provide substantive support to account management and inside sales but do not carry final commercial responsibility yourself.
