>From the hiring manager about a role in Sales Engineering:

As a degreed engineer myself (BSEE 2003) I didn't think of sales when I was in school. That seemed like a job for someone else - I wanted to design circuit boards!  When I got into my first internship as an application engineer at Rockwell Automation - I got to interact with customers as well as our company's sales people.  I realized, this is where the fun happens!  Over time, I transitioned into a sales role, where I get to apply problem solving to help customers.  I have been able to work with interesting applications - from a company that makes Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cakes, to Paper Makers, to Hydro Turbines at Dams for Power Generation.  You get a chance to see how many customers apply engineering concepts to make products and run a process.  My goal is now to help students get access to this fun and unique career earlier in their job search.  Take a look at this opportunity and imagine where it can take you in the future!
