Join us in shaping the future of intelligent transportation and technology by creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role:

The Sr. Manager, Tech Direct Sales will lead the dual-path market entry for FF’s robotics ecosystem. In this role, you will manage direct sales touchpoints to deliver high-impact "Lighthouse" projects, creating the technical and commercial blueprint for our Partner (Par) network. You are not just a seller; you are an ecosystem builder who transforms direct-market intelligence into scalable channel strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Leverage a sharp understanding of user business scenarios to adapt FF’s robotics technology, transforming technical strengths into quantifiable commercial value for both direct touchpoints and the wider partner ecosystem.
  • Utilize successes from direct sales touchpoints to recruit and vet specialized dealers in key verticals. Translate complex robotics architecture into "Partner-Ready" solution kits to lower the technical barrier for new distributors.
  • Act as the primary technical interface for prospective partners. Articulate FF’s advantages in edge-computing and safety architecture to eliminate technical and security concerns for enterprise-level deployment.
  • Drive the data loop from both direct sales touchpoints and partner deployments. Systematically collect real-world "Corner Cases" to fuel the continuous iteration of FF’s Brain and Data Factory.
  • Manage the integrated sales funnel, focusing on both direct sales targets and the technical readiness and growth of the authorized partner network.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field is required.
  • Technical Sales Proficiency: 3–5 years of experience in technical sales, solutions architecture, or field application engineering (FAE) within robotics, AI, or intelligent hardware sectors.

Note: We welcome candidates with a strong foundation in embedded systems, MCU architecture, or robotics control who possess a high aptitude for business exploration, solution-oriented problem solving, and technical evangelism.

  • Solution Architecture: Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical system architectures (e.g., edge computing, sensor fusion, data privacy protocols) into high-value business solutions for enterprise clients.
  • Sales Lifecycle Management: Proven track record in managing end-to-end sales cycles—from technical POC and system integration to commercial contract execution and delivery.
  • Data-Driven Intelligence: Ability to identify market gaps, document field-level "Corner Cases," and leverage data analytics to refine sales strategies and support product evolution.
  • Communication & Trust Building: Superior ability to bridge the gap between technical engineering teams and C-level stakeholders; expert in articulating FF’s safety and compliance architecture to overcome security barriers.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Integration Expertise: Hands-on experience in complex system integration (e.g., API integration, cloud/security/campus management systems).
  • Vertical Expertise: Prior success in delivering complex technical projects within high-density public spaces (e.g., smart hospitality, logistics hubs, or large-scale campuses).
  • Analytics & Insight: Expert level in utilizing data analytics (CRM/Salesforce) to optimize sales velocity and user experience.
  • Security & Compliance Awareness: Deep knowledge of ICTS/supply chain security concerns and the ability to articulate mitigation strategies in AI/Robotics contexts.
  • Scalable Enablement: Experience in developing technical training programs or "Sales-in-a-Box" kits for third-party distributors.
  • Touchpoint Strategy: Prior success in managing showroom-based sales or experiential marketing projects that drive secondary partner leads.
  • Hybrid Channel Management: Familiarity with managing the balance and conflict-resolution between direct and Partner (network sales) channels.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
