Are you energetic, curious and commercially minded? Do you have an interest in engineering simulation software and enjoy connecting with new people? Then we are looking for you!

In Summa Engineering is a software partner of Cadence and MSC Software. Using simulation software, we help companies develop innovative products faster, more safely and more sustainably. For example, Philips uses simulation to optimise electric shavers and reduce skin irritation, while organisations such as ESA and DAF Trucks use simulation to solve complex engineering challenges.

• You are curious, entrepreneurial and confident when approaching new people.
• You are motivated by creating new opportunities and achieving your targets.
• You are interested in technology and eager to learn about engineering and simulation software.
• You are a strong communicator and build relationships easily.
• You work in a structured way and see CRM systems and sales processes as tools that help you succeed.

…and what does it mean to work for In Summa?

• A dynamic organisation with short lines of communication and plenty of responsibility.
• Extensive guidance and training in both technology and sales.
• Opportunities to progress into an Account Manager or Business Development Manager role.
• The opportunity to work with technical experts and international colleagues within the MSC Software network.
• Plenty of freedom, flexibility and room for your own ideas.
• An attractive salary package consisting of a fixed and variable component.
• A company car or mobility allowance.
• A company laptop and phone.
• A pension scheme.

• An interest in technology, engineering and software.
• A proactive attitude and the drive to win new customers.
• A results-oriented and flexible mindset.
