Department Overview

Exacom, a Motorola Solutions company, provides mission-critical recording solutions for public safety, government, military, and critical infrastructure agencies. Our team supports customers with reliable technology, direct support, and a customer-focused approach to complex recording and data capture environments.

We are seeking a Junior Pre-Sales Engineer to support the sales, quoting, and technical discovery process for HindSight, our mission-critical recording platform for public safety, government, military, and critical infrastructure agencies.

The platform captures, stores, and provides access to audio, metadata, screen recording, CAD, 911, radio, and telephony data across a wide range of customer environments. HindSight supports on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-connected deployments and integrates with more than 85 communications systems.

This role is ideal for someone who is customer-facing, technically curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning complex systems. The Junior Pre-Sales Engineer will work closely with Sales, Sales Engineering, Product, Operations, and Support to help define customer requirements, support demos, assist with system design, and ensure quotes are accurate based on each customer’s environment.

The right candidate does not need to know every integration or technical detail on day one, but they should be able to ask good questions, learn quickly, communicate clearly, and help translate customer needs into accurate solution requirements.

• Maintain knowledge of common public safety systems and integrations, including NG911, P25/TETRA radio, commercial radio, dispatch consoles, IP telephony, CAD, RapidSOS, and screen capture.

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple opportunities, tasks, and follow-ups at once.
• Comfort asking questions, documenting answers, and identifying gaps in information.
• Ability to learn complex product, pricing, and integration logic over time.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office or Google Workspace tools, especially Excel or Sheets.
• Willingness to work collaboratively across Sales, Engineering, Operations, Product, and Support.
• Preferred Qualifications
