About Circuit
Circuit is the AI execution layer for the physical economy.
Industrial and manufacturing enterprises run on expertise: the hard-won knowledge of how complex products are engineered, configured, sold, and supported. That expertise is scarce, slow to transfer, and walking out the door as a generation of experts retires. It lives in PDFs, spreadsheets, and the heads of a few people, and the hardest technical decisions wait on whoever happens to know.
Circuit puts expert judgment in everyone's hands. We capture how the best people make critical technical decisions and turn it into agents that do the judgment-heavy work, so anyone, regardless of skill level, can make the right call, from quote to install and support, with the accuracy these environments demand.
Circuit is built by operators. Our leadership team has built and scaled real industrial companies, and we are already live in production with category-leading manufacturers. We are not bolting AI onto an old playbook. We are building the layer that runs the last mile of how the physical economy executes.
The Role
As our Solutions Engineer, you’ll be embedded directly with the Sales team as the technical expert who brings the product to life for prospective customers. You will design and deliver tailored demos, guide technical discovery, and translate customer requirements into actionable inputs for Product and Engineering. You’ll serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers and an internal bridge across Sales, Product, and Engineering.
This is not a typical presales role. You will be hands-on with the product, building Circuits, configuring environments, working with real manufacturing documents, and pressure-testing the platform as a power user. You’ll also participate in shaping the roadmap by channeling customer insights, identifying gaps, and validating new features in collaboration with Product.
In your first year, you will have built a repeatable demo engine, contributed directly to major enterprise wins, shaped the technical requirements for new product capabilities, and become an expert in how real manufacturers can deploy Circuit to transform their workflows.
Key Responsibilities
Build, customize, and deliver high-impact demos tailored to customer workflows, data, and industry use cases.
Serve as the technical authority during customer calls, addressing questions on architecture, integrations, AI capabilities, permissions, and deployment.
Lead technical discovery to define requirements across data, documents, workflows, and integrations.
Translate customer needs into solution designs using Circuit’s platform components.
Define technical success criteria for POCs and pilots and guide the technical win strategy.
Evaluate customer data, documents, and workflows to identify high-value applications of Circuit.
Provide structured customer feedback, user stories, and clear technical requirements to Product and Engineering.
Validate new features, identify gaps, and communicate recurring solution patterns and blockers.
Create and maintain demo environments, Circuits, and example datasets to support sales cycles.
Use the platform as a daily power user to identify bugs, UX friction, and workflow improvement opportunities.
Collaborate with Product and Engineering to refine usability, performance, and feature completeness.
Support onboarding and early implementation during POCs and provide best practices on data structure, deployment, and workflow optimization.
Ensure smooth handoff to Customer Success for long-term adoption.
Develop reusable demo templates, documentation, solution patterns, and internal presales playbooks.
