What You Bring Proven track record in selling InGaAs or equivalent high-performance photodetectors in Europe Strong existing contacts at European OEMs in photonics, laser, sensing, test & measurement, defence and industrial markets Deep technical understanding of InGaAs PIN/APD technology and its applications Hunter mentality combined with excellent relationship-building and negotiation skills Experience with photonic component manufacturers is a strong advantage Fluent German and English (both spoken and written) Willingness to travel regularly within Germany, DACH and broader Europe

What We Offer Competitive base salary + highly attractive performance-based commission (OTE significantly above market average for the right candidate) Full autonomy and ownership of the European InGaAs business The chance to be the key person who builds and scales our European presence from the ground up Work for a fast-moving, entrepreneurial company where your impact is immediate and highly visible Opportunity to shape product strategy and grow with the business Modern home-office setup with full support from the UK technical and operations team
