Technical Sales Engineer

About Yibi Precision

Yibi Precision provides MIM, CNC machining, tooling, and high-precision metal component solutions for global customers from design and DFM through sampling, inspection, and mass production.

The Role

We are seeking a Japan-based Technical Sales Engineer to develop and support industrial customers requiring small, complex, high-precision metal components. This is a remote contract role combining technical discovery, customer development, and coordination with Yibi’s engineering and manufacturing teams in China. Occasional customer and trade-show travel within Japan is expected with advance agreement.

Responsibilities

• Identify and develop OEM, Tier 1, and industrial customers in automotive, medical, electronics, robotics, industrial equipment, and advanced hardware.

• Understand drawings, GD&T, tolerances, materials, annual volumes, quality requirements, and project timing.

• Coordinate DFM, process selection, RFQs, proposals, sampling, and NPI follow-up.

• Build relationships with engineering, sourcing, quality, and purchasing stakeholders.

• Maintain accurate opportunity records and communicate technical or commercial risks early.

• Support customer visits, trade fairs, and account reviews.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of relevant technical sales, application engineering, or industrial business development experience is preferred. Candidates with direct MIM, CNC, tooling, powder-metallurgy, or precision-component experience are encouraged to apply even with fewer years.

• Ability to read engineering drawings and discuss tolerances, materials, inspection, and manufacturability.

• Professional Japanese and working English are strongly preferred.

• Strong customer communication and cross-time-zone collaboration.

• Legal ability to provide contract services from Japan and willingness to travel when agreed in advance.
