FAQ section
-
Which qualifications should I have for this position?
A Field Application Engineer (FAE) is a real allround talent, because this position not only requires a high level of technical understanding, but also very good communication skills. An FAE for DESKO travels all over the world to support customers in the technical integration of our solutions or to provide help and advice in case of problems.
This means that you act as an interface between sales and development. Therefore, it is especially important that you are at home in both worlds and that you can deal with its inhabitants equally well.
-
Is the job also something for career changers?
Absolutely. However, a successfully completed degree or technical training is already a huge advantage for the position as FAE. You should also have a great technical understanding, an interest in intercultural exchange, and a business-fluent command of English.
You should also be proficient in a programming language or at least know how to address an SDK.
-
Which foreign languages should I speak for this job?
The business fluent command of the English language (spoken and written) is essential, because you represent the company DESKO with the customers worldwide. You speak other languages as well? All the better, that is definitely an advantage for this position. If you also bring along a great intercultural interest and an open, cordial manner, there should be no communication barriers with international customers, partners or team members.
-
How often does a Field Application Engineer travel around the world?
This depends on the current situation and customer inquiries. There may be seasonal fluctuations , so it is not possible to make a definite statement about this. You can roughly say that you are on the road about 20-30% of your working time. In this job, it is also quite possible that trips are scheduled at short notice and last for a longer period of time. However, this is rather the exception, as a rule you are on the road for several days up to a week.
In any case, it is important that you have a valid passport so that you can get to the customer quickly if this is necessary at short notice.
