Palo Alto, United States Instrumental Inc. Full time

Our mission is to drive manufacturing efficiencies through technology that empowers teams to build products better, faster, and with less waste. Brands like Bose, Cisco, and SolarEdge use our technology to optimize their manufacturing processes and deliver superior products in less time.


We have a consultative, value-based sales motion. Our technical customers expect us to teach them how to #buildbetter. The right person for this role loves hardware engineering & electronics manufacturing and wants to help our customers improve efficiency, reduce waste, & improve their bottom line.


We’re looking for an Account Executive who owns their business: they work hard, and they work smart. They take ownership of their pipeline by doing their own prospecting, asking great questions, listening, and delivering persuasive business cases to executives. You’ll be selling an AI product that works: it demos well and provides significant value in the right use cases. We have incorporated value engineering into our sales process to justify the sale with ROI. We are still operating in a blue ocean with very little competition and are solving real-world problems that no other solutions in the market today can address. You can confidently sell knowing that once the deal is closed, your customer will realize value within the first 90 days.


We're Looking for Someone Who:

  • Has 5+ years of demonstrated personal success selling engineering or manufacturing software into new logo multinational companies in multiple executive stakeholder deals, 6-9 month sales cycles, and 6-7 figure contract sizes.
  • Loves the building stage of startups and brings experience finding new paths to success: rolling up their sleeves, rolling with the punches, and solving customer pain points – all with startup urgency. You are a heat-seeking missile for customer pain and derive great satisfaction from the journey of solving customer problems with technology.
  • You are an adaptable and resourceful hunter. If something doesn’t exist, you’ll build it. If a customer has an objection, you’ll figure out how to deliver the right business case. If you don’t have enough in your pipeline, you’ll fill it.
  • Prefers to get in front of customers face-to-face and is willing to travel to do so.
  • Has experience selling or working with big data, digital transformation, analytics, and/or verticalized AI to technical buyers. OR prior specialized experience in selling manufacturing software, or into the high-tech electronics, industrial electronics, automotive Tier 2/3s, or aerospace & defense space.
  • Has a degree in a hardware engineering discipline (mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, etc.) or equivalent expertise through industry exposure & learning


What You'll Be Doing:

  • Building your own book of business: This means you must be comfortable reaching out to people you don’t know. We will help set you up for success with tools, marketing, and support - this role is focused on working with net new customers, not existing ones.
  • Developing business cases: We sell value, our team always calculates return on investment when developing a proposal with a customer.
  • Listening to your customers and presenting solutions: You will collect information from multiple stakeholders on what key business objectives are and where there are opportunities for improvement.
  • Selling as a team: While you own and operate the sales cycle with new customers, Marketing, Solutions Architects, Customer Success, TPMs and Product Managers all work together to deliver value to our customers.
  • Finding new paths: We are a growing organization delivering new technology into an industry that is undergoing constant change.
  • Contracts, infosec & finance: Closing deals requires partnering with your customers’ finance, legal, and IT teams


This role requires authorization to access information that is subject to U.S. export control restrictions.


We’re a growing team that works collaboratively, supports each other, and is energized by having impact. We value passion and the ability to learn – you’re encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn’t match the job description precisely


The following is a representative annual base salary range for this position within the Bay Area: $110-150k. This position is additionally eligible for substantial variable incentives as part of overall on-target earnings. In addition, job level and salary opportunities are evaluated through our interview process – we review the experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of each applicant.


Instrumental is proud to offer a highly-rated variety of benefits, including health, vision, dental, commuter plans, and parental leave.
