Transform the everyday with us!

Siemens Digital Industries Automation is a leader in industrial automation and digitalization. Our technologies enable customers to accelerate their digital transformation by helping them collect, interpret, and leverage the vast amounts of data generated through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This unlocks previously unrecognized manufacturing potential, reveals new insights, and enables solutions that seemed unimaginable before.

We are looking for rising and recent graduates for our 18-month Automation Genesis program - Sales Engineering Track.

This program is an immersive, three-phased development pathway designed to prepare you for impactful roles within Siemens Digital Industries Automation. The journey begins in Mason, OH with a 6-month intensive onboarding phase that combines structured training with hands-on project work to build your foundational knowledge of Siemens DI Automation’s portfolio and professional skills, gaining a broad understanding of our industrial markets and the channels that serve them. This is followed by a 12-month rotational development phase in Alpharetta, GA focused on deepening portfolio-specific expertise, refining professional selling skills, and gaining practical experience in joint customer/account development and field sales. Upon successful completion of this program, participants will transition into an impactful full-time role in Inside Sales, working with integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), selling through distribution partners.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Actively engaging in intensive training, workshops, and joint customer development activities to build a strong understanding of our history, values, business units, technical portfolio, and industrial markets and channels, gaining valuable field experience along the way
• Applying a client-centric approach to understanding customer needs, guiding decision-making towards tailored Siemens solutions through compelling storytelling
• Developing and maintaining excellent communication skills (including active listening, open dialogue, and digital fluency) and a passion for our innovative products, solutions, and services in order to curate positive and meaningful customer engagements.
• Cultivating strong internal and external business relationships, collaborating across the vast Siemens Ecosystem (e.g., Field Sales, Product Marketing, Distributor Sales Team) and leveraging partnerships with US distribution channels and industry associations.
• Utilizing various tools and learned key sales processes to efficiently manage, monitor, and track opportunities on a timely basis, as well as documenting and research customer information.
