Embedded Senior Sales Executive EMEA – Aerospace & Defence

We are looking for an Embedded Senior Sales Executive, Aerospace & Defence to join our Global Sales Team.

Tuxera is a world-leading provider of quality-assured data management and networking software. Our technology powers aircraft, spacecraft, defence systems, vehicles, and mission-critical embedded platforms — ensuring data is always safe, accessible, and high-performing.

From our origins in open-source file system innovation, we have grown into the largest team of file system and storage developers in the world. Today, our software is trusted by leading aerospace and defence organizations, OEMs, and technology suppliers worldwide.

About the Role

As Embedded Senior Sales Executive, Aerospace & Defence, you will drive Tuxera’s expansion within the global aerospace and defence markets. You are a results-oriented, self-driven professional with a strong background in complex B2B sales and a passion for advanced embedded technology.

Your focus will be on developing new business and strategic partnerships with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and system integrators across Europe and the US — promoting Tuxera’s embedded data management solutions for high-reliability and safety-critical environments.

What Will You Do

• Develop and execute sales strategies targeting Europe/US aerospace and defence sectors.
• Manage the full sales cycle — from lead generation and qualification through bidding and closing.
• Establish and nurture partnerships with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and technical buyers.
• Collaborate with global engineering teams to scope and quote complex embedded software solutions.
• Report sales metrics, client feedback, and competitive insights to inform business and product strategy.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in aerospace, defence, or advanced technology sales across Europe.
• Proven track record of winning business with European primes or leading OEMs.
• Strong knowledge of European industrial clusters and supplier networks.
• Background in embedded systems, software, or technology solutions; understanding of composites or materials is a plus but not required.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills across technical and executive levels.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively in a global team environment.

At Tuxera, our values reflect how we build a customer-first culture:

• Your success is our mission – We put customers at the center of every decision.
• Partnerships are built on trust – We act with openness, transparency, and collaboration.
• We make it work – together – We grow as one team, strengthened by diversity and inclusion.
