Sales Staff, Semiconductor and Display Manufacturing Equipment

This role handles direct sales of semiconductor and display exposure equipment to customers, or sales support for overseas subsidiaries. The position manages assigned customers, supports proposals and services intended to improve their productivity and competitiveness, and conducts business negotiations and other sales activities. Rotation between duties and overseas assignments may be possible.

The role builds long-term, constructive company-to-company partnerships. Career stages may include sales support with senior colleagues, sales activities for customers in an assigned region as an overseas subsidiary assignee, or responsibility as a customer-specific project manager handling direct negotiations. Domestic and overseas business travel is frequent.

Required qualifications are business-to-business sales experience, communication skills, and coordination and negotiation ability. Industry experience is not required, and second-career graduates are welcomed. The posting also seeks people who are cheerful, energetic, cooperative, and willing to take on new fields and different cultures.

Preferred experience includes business with overseas customers and building partnerships. Knowledge of the semiconductor or display industries is welcomed, as are language skills such as English, Chinese, or Korean. These language skills are listed as preferred rather than required.

The products are precision manufacturing equipment used in semiconductor and display production. Development, factory, and service departments form a customer-based team to support sales. Training is provided before sales activities begin, allowing less-experienced employees to build experience gradually. The work includes planning strategies to win negotiations, daily sales execution, and feeding customer feedback back to the company to support equipment development and service quality.
