Founding Account Executive

At Trace. Space we're building the R&D engineering data platform for the top engineering companies building the world's most critical Hardware / Software systems - cars, planes, defense systems, space tech, semiconductors, medical devices, and more. Over the past decade, product complexity has skyrocketed 10-100x, driven by software proliferation and electrification, with further growth expected as autonomous features advance. Our mission is to empower engineers and their teams with cutting-edge tools to build the mission-critical technologies of tomorrow – products that legacy tools simply cannot handle.

Backed by $6M in seed funding from top-tier investors, we’re now inviting a Forward Deployed Systems Engineer to join our U.S.-based team.

Your role

• Own the full sales cycle — from prospecting and qualification to demos, pilots, and procurement — across complex engineering and manufacturing organizations
• Partner directly with engineering, R&D, and program management leaders to help them understand and adopt Trace.Space
• Lead discovery sessions to map customer processes and position Trace.Space as the foundation of their systems engineering and traceability workflows
• Collaborate closely with our founders, product, and forward-deployed teams to align technical capabilities with customer outcomes
• Build repeatable sales processes and playbooks to move from founder‑led to scalable sales motion
• Travel to customer sites for relationship building, workshops, and key account development (U.S.-based with occasional EU travel)
• Represent customer voice internally, shaping roadmap priorities and go-to-market strategy
