About Aptiv
Aptiv runs three separate sales motions on this board. Its Signal and Power Solutions business sells connectors, cable assemblies and interconnect parts on long vehicle programs: account managers in Japan (Yokohama, Atsugi), Korea (Ulsan), India (Bangalore, Delhi, Pune), Wuppertal and Shanghai quote new business and negotiate long-term agreements with carmakers, Tier 1 suppliers and harness makers, a Troy sales director chases Tier 1 and OEM platform wins three to seven years out, East Coast account managers cover transportation OEMs and harness makers alongside regional distributors, and a Kochi sales manager pushes connectors, Ethernet cable assemblies, battery storage and data center products to utilities, EPCs and integrators. Wind River, its software arm for mission-critical and edge systems, sells to telecom, industrial, automotive and defense buyers through strategic account managers and regional directors in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Tokyo and Seoul, outbound SDRs and a team lead in Troy and San Diego, and presales solutions architects in the US, while its defense-only subsidiary Wind RiverX keeps a strategic account executive opening year-round. An Adjacent Markets team hunts robotics, drone and unmanned vehicle makers, from defense primes to startups, with a quota-carrying defense drones sales director in the US, business development managers in Wuppertal and outside Paris, an SDR in Wuppertal and a global partnerships director, posted in the US and in France, building routes to market through OEMs, integrators, VARs and distributors. In the US the seats sit in Troy, Michigan, where sales interns also support quoting, and in remote territories, California and Boston; abroad they are in China, Japan, India, Germany, Korea, France and Ireland.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
