A precision manufacturing leader is seeking a Manufacturing Sales Engineer to join its team in Menomonee Falls, WI. This role is built for a technical seller who knows the shop floor as well as they know the customer. You’ll be the expert who helps OEMs, industrial buyers, and engineering teams solve real manufacturing problems through precision machining, mechanical assemblies, and custom weldments.
