Vice President of Sales - Testing & Engineering Services Division

Bohemia, NY

ON-SITE

This is a pivotal, hands-on leadership role for someone passionate about technical sales and team growth. You will manage and mentor a talented inside sales team at our test facility, collaborate closely with DTB's Corporate Business Development group, and directly drive individual sales results. You'll also play an instrumental role in strategizing and supporting our business expansion into Huntsville, Alabama, and Merritt Island, Florida, leveraging our legacy reputation with new market penetration.

Expect to wear two hats: Inspiring coach who develops others, and individual contributor who closes significant business. You'll leverage your engineering acumen and sales instincts to identify and capture opportunities across military, aerospace, and commercial markets. Your understanding of how testing and engineering services shape the product lifecycle-from concept to deployment-will establish you as a trusted strategic partner for customers and prime contractors.

What You'll Do

As Vice President of Sales - Testing & Engineering, you will be responsible for leading the Testing sales organization, growing Testing New Business, expanding customer relationships, improving sales execution, supporting commercial diversification, and helping DTB continue to build a collaborative, program-based selling culture. You will collaborate with Corporate BD and Operations in go-to-market teams to innovate solutions and accelerate market entry-especially at new locations in Huntsville, Alabama and Merritt Island, Florida.

You will also lead the Testing sales support team, including quote management, customer follow-up sales team support, and related activities needed for responsive customer engagement. Responsiveness has always been a major key to DTB's success, and you will be expected to motivate and hold the sales and sales support teams accountable to the urgency, professionalism, and follow-through required to win and retain business.

In addition, you will:
  • Apply technical expertise and market insight to tailor our portfolio (environmental, dynamic, EMI, materials, reverse engineering, etc.) to evolve customer requirements.
  • Implement and refine a disciplined, repeatable sales process leveraging CRM for pipeline management and data-driven forecasting.
  • Build long-lasting relationships with prime contractors, suppliers, government agencies, and commercial customers.
  • Act as the customer's advocate internally, ensuring our testing impacts product lifecycle ROI, shorter cycles, and improved performance.

About You
  • Minimum of 15 years of experience managing a sales team, with a proven track record of success in technical services sales (preferably in military, aerospace, or systems engineering environments).
  • BS in Engineering preferred, MBA or technical master's strongly considered a plus.
  • Deep understanding of the product lifecycle and how rigorous testing drives market success.
  • Familiarity with CRM, disciplined sales process, and KPI-based management.
  • Experience managing a quota-carrying sales team as well as delivering personal quota results.
  • Strong communicator: both persuasive and technically credible with engineers, procurement, and executive stakeholders.
  • Natural business builder: entrepreneurial, persistent, and relationally oriented.
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain security clearance

  • Competitive compensation package including bonus
  • Stable, growth-oriented company with 75+ years of technical innovation.
  • Professional development, collaborative teams, and industry leadership-not just a job, but a mission.
  • Direct impact on national defense, aerospace, and next-gen tech sectors.

In addition to competitive salary, you will also be eligible for comprehensive benefits featuring:
  • Competitive salaries
  • Tuition Reimbursement up to 100%
  • Medical/Dental/Vision/FSA
  • 401K with company matching
  • Unlimited Paid time off
  • Group Life Insurance
  • Employee activities
  • A family-friendly work culture
