AI Project Sales Engineer

Job Title: AI Project Sales Engineer

Location: Maltepe, Istanbul, Turkey (On-site)

Company: Dataguess Teknoloji A.Ş.

About Dataguess

Dataguess is an industrial AI company headquartered in Germany with an engineering office in Istanbul. Since 2016, we have been building AI-powered products that help manufacturers automate quality control, predict failures, and deploy no-code AI workflows at the edge.

Our products — Inspector (AI visual inspection), Predictor (anomaly detection & forecasting), and Project Studio (no-code edge AI platform) — are running on production lines at global manufacturers across automotive, food, chemical, and machining industries.

We are growing internationally and looking for an AI Project Sales Engineer to join our Istanbul team.

About the Role

This is not a typical software sales position. You will sit at the intersection of industrial AI technology and real-world manufacturing problems. Your job is to understand what happens on a production line, identify where AI creates measurable value, and guide customers from first conversation through proof-of-concept to production deployment.

You will work closely with our engineering team in Istanbul and coordinate with our headquarters in Minden, Germany for international accounts.

What You Will Do

• Identify and engage potential customers in automotive, food & beverage, chemical, machining, and logistics sectors
• Conduct on-site factory visits to analyze production processes and pinpoint quality control, predictive maintenance, and process optimization opportunities
• Deliver product demonstrations of Inspector, Predictor, and Project Studio tailored to each customer's specific production challenges
• Design and propose customized AI solutions with measurable ROI — you are selling production efficiency, not software licenses
• Coordinate Proof-of-Concept (POC) projects with the technical team, managing timelines and customer expectations
• Develop and execute sales strategies to meet quarterly and annual targets
• Track competitor activity and contribute to Dataguess's market positioning
• Collaborate with the Germany office on cross-border opportunities and international account management
• Represent Dataguess at industry events, trade shows, and conferences

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, or related field)
• Minimum 2 years of B2B sales experience, preferably in industrial products, automation, or technology solutions
• Foundational understanding of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning — deep technical expertise is not required, but genuine curiosity and willingness to learn are essential
• Comfort in factory environments with the ability to communicate effectively with production managers, quality engineers, and C-level decision makers
• Strong presentation and demo skills
• Advanced English proficiency (you will work with our German HQ and international clients)
• Willingness to travel domestically and occasionally internationally for customer visits
• Self-driven, target-oriented, and comfortable in a small, high-impact team

Nice to Have

• Experience in manufacturing, MES, or industrial automation sales
• Familiarity with quality control processes (visual inspection, SPC, OEE)
• Existing network in Turkish manufacturing industry
• Working knowledge of German

Why Dataguess?

• A focused industrial AI company with 8+ years of domain expertise — not a generalist IT shop
• Proven products deployed at 20+ global manufacturers
• International growth trajectory with dual Germany-Turkey operations
• Edge AI and no-code differentiation in a market dominated by complex, expensive alternatives
• A small but strong team where your contribution has direct and visible impact
