Compensation: Base Pay + Uncapped Commission
About the Role
MicroNova is looking for a motivated, competitive, and hardworking Technical Sales Representative to help introduce our engineering services to companies in the aerospace, defense, robotics, and advanced technology industries.
This is not a customer service role. This is a true outbound sales position where you’ll spend your day cold calling, cold emailing, researching companies, and creating new opportunities for our engineering team.
No engineering degree is required. We can teach you the technical side. What we cannot teach is drive, grit, resilience, and the willingness to outwork everyone else.
If you’re looking for a comfortable desk job where the phone rarely rings, this isn’t it.
If you’re excited by competition, earning uncapped commission, and building a career in technical sales, we’d love to meet you.

* Make high-volume outbound cold calls to engineering and technical decision makers
* Write and send personalized cold emails

* Track activity and opportunities in our CRM
* Continuously improve through coaching, call reviews, and sales training

* Works hard without needing to be micromanaged
* Takes ownership of results
* Is curious about technology and engineering
* Has strong written and verbal communication skills
* Wants to build a long-term career in technical sales
* Is motivated by performance-based pay rather than just an hourly wage
Ideal Background
* Recent college graduate or current student
* Business, Marketing, Engineering, Communications, or related field preferred
* Sales experience is a plus but not required
* Technical or engineering interest is a bonus
* Military experience is also welcomed
Compensation

The harder you work and the more opportunities you create, the more you earn.
