The Technical Solutions Engineer serves as the trusted technical advisor to the Regional Sales Directors and enterprise customers evaluating Telit connectivity portfolio. Own pre-sales discovery, solution scoping, proof-of-concepts, and post-sale integration support; diagnose network/SIM/module/application issues; and drive successful certification/launch outcomes across MNOs and geographies. 

Primary Objectives

• Accelerate revenue by enabling technically sound wins — qualify use cases, recommend the right connectivity architecture (APN, profile strategy, data paths), and deliver compelling demos/POCs.
• Shorten time-to-first-data for new accounts by leading onboarding (SIM/eSIM provisioning, device bring-up, CMP set up) and documenting repeatable playbooks.
• Raise win rates by removing risk early (RF/link budget sanity checks, module/SIM compatibility, roaming behavior, PSM/eDRX expectations, fallback strategies).
• Delight customers with fast, first-principles troubleshooting; clear Root Cause Analysis; and strong collaboration with global Connectivity/Support & R&D teams for durable fixes.
• Inform the roadmap by aggregating field feedback (failure patterns, feature asks, coverage gaps) into prioritized insights for Product Management.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-Sales / Solution Design

• Partner with Sales on discovery: device architecture, radios/bands, mobility, data profiles, security posture, SLAs; propose Telit Connectivity and services strategy, APN selection, and SIM fleet policies.
• Build POCs and demos (SIM activation, CMP configuration, device attach tests, data path validation) and deliver results to stakeholders.
• Quantify trade-offs (CAT-M vs. NB-IoT vs. LTE Cat 1.bis/Cat 1; roaming vs. localized profiles; eUICC orchestration plans) and recommend the optimal design.

Customer Onboarding & Integration

• Lead first-time attach and KPI baselining (Signal strength, network attach, PDP contexts, throughput/latency). Capture logs and share reproducible steps.
• Configure connectivity services (APNs, private routes, IPsec/VPN where applicable) and document Connectivity Management Portal workflows (lifecycle, profile swaps, alerts/usage policies).

Troubleshooting, Escalation & Root Cause Analysis

• Act as the front-line technical interface for complex issues; triage across device, module FW/AT stack, SIM/profile, RAN/core, and application layers; coordinate with carriers and internal teams to closure.
• Gather artifacts (AT traces, network surveys, pcap logs, CMP session records) and drive crisp RCAs with corrective/preventive actions.
• Maintain customer-facing knowledge articles and internal runbooks for recurring issues (activation failures, IMSI selection anomalies, PSM/eDRX, VoLTE/VoNR).

Sales Enablement & Feedback Loop

• Translate field learnings into sales collateral, playbooks, and sizing guides for repeatable wins (coverage matrices, profile selection guides, APN options).
• Provide inputs to Product on coverage gaps and prioritize TCP profile expansions based on opportunities.

Collaboration & Reporting

• Work closely with AE, Technical Support, Software, and Product; contribute to weekly pipeline and issue reviews; track outcomes (POC success, time-to-first data, first-call resolution, time-to-launch).

Example Success Metrics

• POC conversion rate
• Time-to-first data (days)

Percentage of issues resolved without carrier escalation

Requirements & Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 5+ years in cellular IoT as a Field Application Engineer, Technical Support/Pre-Sales Engineer, or similar at a connectivity provider/MVNO, module vendor, or MNO.
• Solid understanding of cellular technologies and device behaviors: LTE Cat-1/4, Cat-1.bis, LTE-M (Cat-M1), NB-IoT, 5G basics (NSA/SA), roaming, attach/TAU, PSM/eDRX, and SIM/eUICC concepts (ICCID/IMSI, profile lifecycle), eSIM provisioning platform, SGPx2.
• Experience designing and bringing up connectivity solutions: APN selection, private vs. public routing, CMP/NOC workflows, data path validation, KPI baselining, and multi-IMSI profile orchestration.
• Proficiency with module/AT-level debugging and log capture (AT traces, network surveys, modem logs) and packet analysis (Wireshark or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of operator certification paths (PTCRB/GCF fundamentals) and U.S. operator processes (e.g., AT&T AQT/TRENDI, Verizon VPP/IoT Security) sufficient to guide customers through readiness and test planning.
• Core IP and security skills: PDP/PDU sessions, IPv4/IPv6, DNS, MQTT/HTTP(S), TLS, certificate handling; familiarity with IPsec/VPN options and private networking patterns for IoT.
• Customer-facing communication excellence: discovery/whiteboarding, and the ability to lead cross-functional troubleshooting to closure with urgency and ownership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on with Telit connectivity stack, CMP operations, SIM lifecycle management and policy/alerting.
• Familiarity with Telit and peer CMP/device management tools; ability to recommend fleet health practices (templates, remote updates, out-of-band diagnostics).
• Experience with cellular test gear and tooling: Keysight/Anritsu call boxes, RF scanners/field test apps, QXDM/QPST (or equivalent), TEMS/drive-test utilities.
• Scripting/automation (Python/Bash/PowerShell) for log parsing, test harnesses, and CMP/REST API integrations; competency with Jira/Salesforce or similar ticketing/CRM.
• Understanding of IoT security and compliance artifacts (e.g., Verizon IoT Security deliverables, GSMA connection-efficiency guidance, CTIA IoT Network Certified context) and how they map to device+module responsibilities.
• Exposure to cloud IoT services (AWS IoT, Azure IoT) for data ingestion/identity and certificate lifecycle.
• Comfortable supporting customers across the Americas region.
