We have a vacancy for a Technical Sales Engineer to cover both existing accounts and to seek out new opportunities in the U.K. and Ireland. The role involves supporting existing clients as well as seeking out new opportunities for our range of radio frequency (RF) & microwave components and systems. Our customer base is varied and includes the MoD, defence primes, research and development establishments, satcom, space and leading industrial, scientific & medical organisations.
Full training will be provided and previous sales experience is not essential but candidates must be able to demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills, be enthusiastic and self-motivated and driven to succeed in identifying new opportunities as well as developing existing business relationships. Along with commercial acumen, the role also requires an amount of RF & microwave technical knowledge. Competitive salary & benefits are negotiable depending on your experience.
The person: Candidates must be UK residents and ideally possess a minimum HNC/HND/degree in a STEM subject or be able to demonstrate knowledge of electronic, RF or microwave applications typically in an aerospace, defence or telecoms organisation. For example, some RF & microwave experience in test and measurement, surface mount, coaxial components and amplifiers would be ideal, but we provide full product training so in-depth knowledge across each of those categories is not essential.
The position suits technicians or engineers who are looking to move into a customer-facing role or those already with experience in technical sales. We’re happy to receive applications from graduates/early career or experienced technicians and engineers as we’re happy to adapt the role to suit the right individual. Applicants must have a valid UK driving licence and it would be beneficial to have access to a vehicle as the role requires travel across the UK.
Link Microtek is a distributor and manufacturer of RF & microwave components, test instruments and systems. Based in Basingstoke, we have a multi-million pound turnover and employ around 40 staff. We have been providing market-leading solutions to a variety of high technology customers in the UK and around the world for 30+ years. We’re big enough to have the stability and benefits of a much larger organisation, small enough to be dynamic and reward outstanding performance.
Role Description: This is a full-time Technical Sales Engineer role based in Basingstoke with a hybrid working arrangement, allowing some work from home. The Technical Sales Engineer will engage with existing and prospective customers to understand technical requirements, propose suitable RF, microwave, and infrared solutions, and prepare quotations and detailed technical proposals. Daily tasks include responding to technical inquiries, providing pre- and post-sales support, coordinating with engineering and product teams, and attending customer meetings both on-site and remotely. The role also involves maintaining accurate sales pipelines, contributing to sales forecasts, supporting demonstrations and evaluations of equipment, and representing Link Microtek at industry events or trade shows as needed. The successful candidate will balance technical insight with commercial awareness to build long-term customer relationships and support business growth.
