About The Position

As a Technical Solutions Consultant, you'll partner directly with one of our automotive clients to turn complex business challenges into clear, actionable technical solutions. You'll own the solution design process from initial discovery through project kickoff, independently managing your priorities while partnering with Solution Analysts, Architects, and Developers to bring each solution to life.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in solutions consulting, pre-sales engineering, or technical solution design.
• Proven experience working directly with clients, in person and remotely, to shape technical solutions.
• A track record of self-managing priorities and translating ambiguous or incomplete requirements into practical, well-documented solutions — collaborating closely with Solution Analysts, Architects, and Developers along the way.
• Strong understanding of system architecture concepts (integration, modernization, scalability), with the confidence to weigh in on architecture decisions.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

Nice To Haves

• 8+ years of hands-on technical experience on software delivery teams, in roles such as development, QA/test automation, architecture, DevOps, business or solution analysis, or technical consulting
• Familiarity with generative AI, both as a tool for your own work and as a capability to recommend to clients
• Experience working with automotive OEMs
• Experience with enterprise integration or application modernization projects (e.g., APIs, legacy-to-cloud migration)
• Experience with SQL and databases
• Experience with Java and Golang (Go)
• Experience writing SOWs, proposals, or estimates in a professional services or consulting environment
• Experience mentoring or coaching junior team members

Responsibilities

• Partner with client stakeholders to understand their business challenges and translate them into clear, actionable technical solutions — including recognizing when their stated ask isn't the right fit.
• Own high-level estimates and review detailed estimates from your development, QA, and architecture partners.
• Produce solution documentation (e.g., business and functional requirements, wireframes) and creating client-facing Statements of Work and proposals.
• Present your solution approach to clients and internal stakeholders and providing technical mentorship to junior teammates.
• Identify opportunities to expand your work with the client based on unmet business needs you uncover.
