The Technical Sales Engineer supports selling efforts for Giga Energy’s specialized power infrastructure portfolio—specifically UL891 Switchboards, Padmount Transformers, and Substations. This role requires deep technical expertise to provide high-level engineering support during the pre-sales and bidding phases of large-scale projects.

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
