The Product & Sales Engineer plays a critical role in supporting Gaven Industries' customer-facing efforts by providing technical and design expertise to the Sales team. This role ensures that proposals, submittals, and customer-driven product variations are supported with accurate and manufacturable designs, bridging the gap between Sales, Engineering, and Production.
