Role details
GPS-denied tunnels. Underground infrastructure. Hazardous industrial facilities. Contested environments where conventional reconnaissance is dangerous and slow.
These are the environments Emesent was built for.
Emesent develops autonomous LiDAR mapping technology that enables drones and robots to explore and map complex environments without GPS – delivering precise, real-time spatial intelligence where it matters most. Our systems are used by engineers, operators, and military personnel who need to understand dangerous environments quickly and safely.
As U.S. defense adoption of autonomous robotics and 3D mapping accelerates, we are expanding our AMER sales team.
We are looking for a Business Development Manager who can navigate the complexity of DoD procurement, build deep stakeholder relationships, and bring Emesent’s technology to the organisations that need it most.
For someone with defense sales experience and a genuine interest in emerging technology, this role is an exceptional opportunity.
You will not just sell a product. You will bring autonomous mapping technology to the U.S. defense community – helping warfighters, engineers, and program offices solve real operational challenges.
You will gain exposure to:
You will work alongside world-class engineers and product teams while building a portfolio of high-value defense relationships.
You will develop and maintain strong relationships across the U.S. defense ecosystem.
You will identify and develop new opportunities across defense services and agencies.
You will own the full federal sales cycle from first contact through contract award.
Defense sales success depends on strong internal alignment.
You will provide the visibility that enables good commercial decisions.
Within your first year you will:
