Lead proof of concepts and evaluations—plan, implement, validate outcomes, and clearly demonstrate value
Win in competitive deal cycles by understanding competitive offerings and positioning HPE differentiators with clarity and credibility
Collaborate cross-functionally with partners, product marketing, and engineering—bringing field feedback and industry trends into the product conversation
Enable and grow through the channel by building relationships with partners, supporting joint opportunities, and driving scale
Be present in the community—industry meetups, conferences, and technical events—representing HPE Networking as a credible technical leader
Secure the technical win and build long-term customer trust through excellent communication and follow-through

Requirements:

5+ years in a manufacturer or partner Sales Engineer role, or equivalent experience as a Network Engineer/Architect designing, deploying, and operating full-stack enterprise networks
Strong, practical experience across modern enterprise networking, including: Wi‑Fi and RF fundamentals, Wi-Fi design including high-density and distributed edge deployments
Switching: L2/L3 Ethernet switching, campus fabric concepts, and LAN security technologies like 802.1X
Routing: SD-WAN technology solutions, as well as traditional routing technologies: BGP/OSPF and designs supporting complex WAN or T2/T3 service provider-like environments
Data Center: Spine-leaf architectures, EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, data center management solutions
Security: NGFW concepts, security policy, LAN micro segmentation, and modern approaches including SASE/SSE
Network management platforms (on-prem and cloud), plus operational best practices
Customer-facing excellence: you communicate clearly, present confidently, and translate technical capabilities into business outcomes
Consultative selling: you gather the right customer inputs, tailor solutions, and anticipate what will work best for a given environment

Travel: ability to travel up to ~50%
Education: Bachelor’s degree in engineering/related field, or equivalent practical experience
