  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, program, and customer teams
  • Represent Teledyne at industry events and customer-facing engagements

  • Experience with avionics, aircraft systems, connectivity solutions, or aviation software products
  • Established relationships with airline engineering, maintenance, and operations teams
  • Strong technical sales acumen and ability to communicate complex concepts
  • Proven ability to manage and close complex, long-cycle deals
  • Structured, data-driven approach to pipeline and opportunity management
  • Willingness to travel (~50%) and strong personal accountability – required

What we offer

You’ll join a technically respected organization with a strong reputation in aerospace electronics and data solutions. Expect a collaborative environment, exposure to cutting-edge aviation technologies, and the autonomy to own your region and results. This role offers the opportunity to directly influence growth while building a strong internal reputation for excellence.

What happens next

After applying, our recruiting team will review your application and reach out to qualified candidates. The process typically includes recruiter screening, hiring manager discussion, and cross-functional interviews.

Due to the nature of this role, applicants must be a “U.S. Person” (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee).
