Structured, fast-track career growth: clear opportunities to move into senior sales/account management roles in 12–24 months as the team continues its expansion

Bachelors degree required (engineering strongly preferred, but open to other relevant four-year degrees with technical aptitude)
Exposure to electrical distribution systems, wiring harnesses, cable management, or related automotive products is preferred but not essential
