Mclean, Virginia As a Principal Sales Engineer, I supported several Account Managers and most of their accounts. Customer Sales Engineers (CSEs) mostly work on pre-sales activities, such as discussing potential solutions with customers, doing satellite link budgets, and working on the service order (contract) that is sent to the customer. Additionally, there are numerous post-sales tasks that are required, such as working on satellite transitions, regrooming of services, and service changes.
