Job Description

About Us:

Bytronic is a specialist vision engineering company delivering bespoke, high-performance inspection and automation solutions. We work closely with customers to translate complex requirements into robust, commercially viable engineering systems -- combining practical engineering with clear communication and disciplined delivery.

As we grow, we're looking for a commercially minded Graduate Technical Sales Engineer to strengthen our front-end engineering capability and support the sales process from first enquiry through to project handover. This role is ideal for a strong graduate or early-career engineer with commercial ambition who enjoys shaping solutions, creating polished technical proposals, and helping win work.

Why Join Bytronic?

High responsibility and visibility

in a small, specialist engineering business.

Real ownership

of how we package, present, and standardise our solutions.

Full lifecycle exposure

- from customer requirement to delivered system and handover.

Varied technical challenges

across machine vision, inspection, automation, and industrial environments.

The Role:

This role sits at the intersection of

sales, engineering, and product development

. You will take customer requirements (often URS-driven) and turn them into

compelling, well-structured proposals

that are both technically robust and commercially attractive.

You'll play a key part in shaping how Bytronic presents its solutions - through proposal content, visuals, CAD/illustrations, and development of standardised modules - while ensuring technical risk is understood and managed from the outset.

What You Will Do:

Sales & Proposal Support

Develop

high-quality technical proposals

to support the sales process. Assess and respond to

URS (User Requirement Specifications)

with clear, structured compliance responses. Research and evaluate suitable technologies, architectures, and solution approaches. Produce detailed quotations using a templated format, including defined assumptions, exclusions, and acceptance criteria (leveraging tools such as

ChatGPT where appropriate

). Identify and communicate

technical, delivery, and commercial risk

, including mitigations and alternatives.

Technical Development & Validation

Coordinate

lab work and proof-of-concept testing

to validate proposed solutions. Organise and prepare sample hardware for testing and customer demonstrations. Confirm feasibility prior to order placement -- technically, operationally, and commercially.

Engineering Handover & Project Setup

Once an order is placed, manage the

technical setup

from an engineering definition perspective. Confirm the final solution definition, ensuring alignment between

sales commitments

, engineering delivery, and commercial terms. Support internal handover by producing clear requirements, drawings/visuals, and technical notes.

Visuals, Standards & Content Creation

Produce or coordinate supporting

CAD, diagrams, illustrations, and animations

for proposals and marketing collateral. Manage external support for illustration/animation where appropriate. Contribute to a

templated, repeatable proposal approach

, improving speed, consistency, and quality. Develop standardised "drop-in" product modules for quotations with defined options for customisation, including: Images, CAD models, Drawings
Note: The

list of tasks or duties and responsibilities is_

not exhaustive,

and Bytronic is entitled to instruct the employee, at any time, to carry out additional duties or responsibilities, which fall reasonably within the ambit of the job description, or in accordance with operational requirements._

Skills/ Knowledge and Behaviours:

Essential

MEng degree (or equivalent) in Engineering Understanding of concepts relevant to

vision systems and automation

(or strong interest with ability to learn quickly). Ability to interpret complex technical requirements and translate them into

clear, structured proposals

. Strong written and verbal communication skills with attention to detail.

Desirable

Exposure to

machine vision, automation, robotics, or industrial systems

. Experience producing

CAD models

and technical visuals. Familiarity with proposals, quotations, or customer-facing technical roles.

Personal attributes

We're looking for someone who is:

Commercially minded

- understands solutions must win work as well as work technically.

Customer-focused

- enjoys engaging with customers, builds trust quickly, and represents Bytronic professionally.

A self-starter

- comfortable taking ownership and driving tasks forward.

An ideas person

- enjoys improving how things are done, not just following process.

Diligent and detail-oriented

- especially around URS, assumptions, and risk.

Visually aware

- understands the impact of clear, professional visuals in winning work and communicating ideas.
Join us at a stage where you can genuinely shape the way things are done. You'll be trusted early, exposed to the full lifecycle, and work directly with customers and senior engineers to turn complex requirements into inspection and automation solutions that win. If you're commercially curious, visually minded, and enjoy improving how a business presents and delivers its engineering - you'll thrive at Bytronic.
