If you’re interested in being a driving force at an agile technology company, engineering clever computing solutions & helping other companies bring their products to life, we should talk.
About Toradex
Toradex is a global company specializing in embedded computing solutions. We provide Arm-based System on Modules, Single Board Computers, carrier boards, and industrial software solutions that help customers build robust, secure, and long-lived products faster and with lower technical risk.
Our technology is used across industrial automation, robotics, medical devices, transportation, vision, Edge AI, HMI, and other demanding embedded applications.
We are looking for a highly experienced technical professional to strengthen our pre-sales capabilities in Japan and help customers turn early product concepts into successful Toradex-based designs.
The Challenge
Customers do not always come to us with a perfectly defined specification.
They may know that they need multiple cameras, industrial connectivity, local processing, a display, low power consumption, fanless operation, long-term availability, and a specific cost target.
What they may not yet know is:
Which system architecture is appropriate.
Which processor and module best fit the application.
Which interfaces or resources may become limiting.
What technical risks need to be validated.
Whether the proposed design can actually meet their performance, thermal, software, lifecycle, and cost requirements.
This is where you come in.
We are looking for someone who can turn an incomplete customer requirement into:
A clear technical understanding of the problem.
A credible system architecture.
A well-reasoned platform recommendation.
A practical proof of concept or validation plan.
A convincing technical case for choosing Toradex.
This role combines embedded systems architecture, hands-on engineering, embedded Linux, hardware understanding, and technical pre-sales.
About the Role
As a Senior Field Application Engineer, you will act as an Embedded Solutions Architect for strategic customer opportunities in Japan.
You will work closely with Sales from the first technical discussions through platform evaluation and design-in.
You will be expected to independently lead technical discovery, understand the customer’s complete application, identify missing requirements, evaluate system-level trade-offs, define the proposed architecture, and validate the most important technical assumptions through demos, tests, or proofs of concept.
This is not primarily a reactive technical support role.
We are looking for someone who proactively shapes solutions before design-in: someone who asks the right questions, investigates the relevant documentation, validates uncertainties, creates technical demonstrations, and drives the technical evaluation toward a clear decision.
Sales will retain commercial ownership of the opportunity. You will own the technical path toward design-in first, and production win later.
