You will manage the full sales cycle — from identifying opportunities and conducting customer visits, to preparing technical proposals and closing projects. This is a high-impact role with direct mentorship from the Founder & MD, strong commission potential, and clear career progression.
What You Will Do
Business Development & Customer Management

• Present RA's full capabilities — robotics, automation, Industry 4.0, AI integration, machine vision, and OEM solutions
• Proactively build a pipeline by engaging customers early in their project planning cycle
• Maintain strong relationships with existing accounts to drive repeat and follow-on business

Technical Proposals & Quotation

• Obtain and review Project Scope of Work (SOW) documents from customers
• Work with the engineering team to develop conceptual solutions and Bill of Materials (BOM)
• Prepare accurate, competitive, and professional technical quotations and proposals
• Coordinate internally to ensure costs, timelines, and deliverables are aligned before submission
• Follow up consistently on all submitted quotations until a decision is made

Project Coordination & Handover

• Prepare and maintain Gantt charts to track active project progress against agreed timelines
• Liaise with the production planner on project status, capacity, and delivery schedules
• Negotiate schedules and delivery timelines with customers when required
• Ensure smooth project handover to the engineering and production team with full documentation
• Gather customer feedback and relay market insights back to the MD and engineering team

Education
Degree or Diploma in any Engineering discipline — Mechatronic, Electrical & Electronic, Mechanical, Chemical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Electronic, or Telecommunications Engineering, or a related technical field. Non-engineering graduates with strong technical aptitude and a proven sales track record are also encouraged to apply.
Experience & Skills

• 2–5 years of experience in technical sales, automation sales, or engineering project coordination — fresh engineers with strong commercial instincts are welcome
• Solid understanding of industrial automation — robotics, PLCs, machine vision, Industry 4.0, or similar
• Able to read and interpret SOW documents, engineering drawings, and BOMs
• Familiar with project scheduling tools such as Gantt charts, Microsoft Project, or Excel
• Excellent communication and presentation skills in English and Bahasa Malaysia
• Mandarin speaker is a strong advantage — many of our key customers are Mandarin-speaking manufacturers
