Sales/Solution Engineer

Join Flexciton, where innovation meets inspiration in the heart of the semiconductor industry. We're pioneers in the 4th industrial revolution, crafting cutting-edge AI solutions tailored for manufacturing. Despite being a startup, we collaborate with global leaders, reshaping the semiconductor landscape.

Semiconductors are the foundation of the future, touching every aspect of our lives. From AI-driven technologies and renewable energy systems to smart devices and healthcare innovations, they are the building blocks of progress. At Flexciton, we simplify chipmaking, unlocking endless possibilities. Together, we're redefining technology's future, fostering a seamless, efficient, and sustainable semiconductor world. Join us in shaping limitless horizons.

About the role

Welcome to the Customer team. We are a small group of 5 customer experts and engineers that moonlight as consultants for our client projects and we're looking to rapidly expand by bringing on a few more passionate practitioners.

We're building software to improve semiconductor wafer fabs. Your job will be to work with clients on the smooth rollout of our software through your expert data, communication, and collaboration skills. You may be working on more than one customer at a time depending on your workload so hopefully you like a fair bit of variety. After rollout, your job will be to maximise the success and satisfaction our software brings the customer. So, if you want to be part of a high-performing team solving difficult problems using equal-parts data analytics and customer interaction you've come to the right place!

What you’ll be doing

You will thrive in this varied and challenging role as you take on:

  • Making sense of live, messy semiconductor data to discover things we never knew about our customers.
  • Becoming an expert in a few chosen customers. You'll know their requirements inside-out and be our go-to specialist within the company.
  • Engaging with early stage pre-sales projects. You'll meet new prospective clients before anyone else and help shape our company's future towards their needs from the very first call.
  • Prototyping new software features to iterate with clients quickly, and customising the full-stack of our application to suit specific clients’ needs. You’ll be making changes to our entire codebase so hopefully you don’t mind getting stuck into some aspects of software that are currently foreign to you. We work with Python, Angular, and Kubernetes to name a few technologies in our software stack.
  • Being a dedicated point of contact for your customers and their "voice" to the rest of our company; making sure our product works for their needs. You'll also practise "customer evangelism" by teaching others internally about them and what makes them tick. Bonus points if you can do that using Slack emojis.
  • You'll be client-facing; speaking to customers multiple times throughout the week, and be curious about their needs. You'll empathise with the root of their problems without jumping to early conclusions.
  • Understanding all the knobs and dials on our software. You'll be demo'ing brand new features and troubleshooting customer issues by staying up-to-date on the inner workings of our app
  • There's not many semiconductor fabs in central London so hopefully you don't mind a plane trip to Europe or the US. Travel will be a key part of the role, so we practice fly-home-Fridays. Trips will happen about once per month and the vast majority of the time you'll be back in London by Thursday night, and only be gone a few days of the week.

What we are looking for in you?

  • Minimum 1 year of commercial experience in a similar role.
  • Experience in a client facing role
  • You can pick up difficult concepts very quickly
  • Strong Proficiency in Excel and Business Intelligence tools like SQL.
  • Hands-on experience minimum 1 year with programming languages such as Python, R, or similar.
  • Openness to learn basic concepts of Angular, Kubernetes, Docker, and other full-stack tools if not already familiar.
  • Solid understanding of data structures and their interconnections.
  • Willingness to travel internationally.
  • Strong self-management and delivery skills.
  • Proactive and initiative-taking attitude; eager to take ownership of tasks and workstreams.
  • Passionate about becoming an expert in the world of semiconductors

What you’ll achieve in your first 3-6 / 12 months:

  • Deliver a few production-grade engineering features
  • Learn about the full-stack of our application including how it’s deployed
  • Work on early-stage Proof of Concept projects including deploying new instances of our app for those clients
  • Become an expert in our product, how it's used, and how it works
  • Travel to the site of one or more of these customers to gather requirements
  • Analyse data from the client sites for the purpose of understanding product requirements and user stories
