About The Position

The company is a Singapore-based global leader in high-precision mechatronics, specializing in direct drive motors, precision stages, and gantry systems used in semiconductor manufacturing, advanced automation, and high-tech industrial applications. With 27 years of engineering excellence and hallmark customers including Samsung, Intel, Applied Materials, and ASM, PBA is now expanding its presence in the North American market. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build and lead the company’s U.S. commercial operations — with the full backing of an established global engineering organization. We are looking for a commercially driven sales leader to establish the company's footprint in the United States. This is not a role for someone who manages an existing book of business — it is a role for a builder. You will be the face of the company in North America, responsible for opening doors, developing relationships with key OEMs, and generating a pipeline from the ground up. You will work hand-in-glove with a dedicated Pre-Sales / Technical Engineer who will support you on the technical side. Your job is to get in the room. Together, you close the deal.

Requirements

7–15 years of B2B sales experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or leadership capacity
Background in semiconductor capital equipment, precision motion, industrial automation, or a closely adjacent technical field
Active relationships with engineering and procurement teams at U.S.-based OEMs — ideally including companies such as Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA, Intel, or Micron
Proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota in a complex, long-cycle sales environment
Comfortable navigating 9–18 month "design-in" sales cycles with multiple technical and commercial stakeholders
Demonstrated ability to build territory or market presence from scratch
Strong communicator — able to translate technical value into commercial outcomes
Willingness to travel across the U.S. regularly to meet customers, attend trade shows, and visit partners
U.S.-based and authorized to work in the United States

Nice To Haves

Experience selling products from companies such as Aerotech, Parker Hannifin, PI (Physik Instrumente), Dover Motion, Kollmorgen, Yaskawa, or similar precision motion/automation brands
Familiarity with direct drive motors, linear stages, gantry systems, or motion control platforms
Experience working with or reporting to an international headquarters
History of stable, long-term tenure — we are looking for someone who builds, not someone who moves on

Responsibilities

Develop and execute the company’s go-to-market strategy for the U.S. semiconductor and advanced manufacturing markets
Build and manage a pipeline of high-value OEM accounts, targeting machine builders and end-users in semiconductor front-end and back-end applications
Establish and grow relationships with key decision-makers at target accounts including equipment OEMs, engineering teams, and procurement leaders
Work closely with PBA's Singapore-based engineering and product teams to bring customer requirements to life
Oversee sales forecasting, budgeting, and reporting to senior management
Identify and develop channel partnerships with distributors and drive/control solution providers
Assess and qualify leads, manage long sales cycles (typically 9–18 months), and guide deals through from first contact to closed purchase order
Provide regular competitive and market intelligence back to the global team
Lay the foundation for a broader U.S. sales team as the business grows
