About Avnet

A distributor's seller does two jobs at once, and Avnet's postings show both: keep manufacturers supplied with components at a margin, and create demand for particular supplier lines by getting their parts specified into new designs. One board carries every Avnet sales brand: core Avnet with 48 of the 80 sales openings (field account managers and inside reps across the US, ten sales specialists and managers in Taipei, sales engineers and account managers in Beijing, Jinan, Xi'an and Shenzhen), then EBV Elektronik for semiconductors in Europe, Avnet Abacus for interconnect, passive, electromechanical and power products, Farnell and Newark for high-service catalog sales, Avnet Silica, and Avnet Integrated for embedded modules. The demand creation seats are tied to suppliers: technical sales engineers in San Jose, Rochester and Columbia, Maryland own the customer relationship for AMD FPGAs, embedded SoCs and x86 parts, paired with a dedicated AMD field applications engineer, a Boston business developer assembles embedded compute designs across the eastern US, a West Coast manager pushes IP&E power supplies, Newark business developers in Irvine and Austin sell DwyerOmega sensors and instrumentation, and EBV's EMEA memory business development manager can sit in any of ten countries. Phone and email selling is a big share: 23 inside sales postings (Cherry Hill, Tempe, Richardson, Belgrade and Kragujevac, German and Swiss branches, Sydney, Auckland, Hanoi) and eight sales, customer or business development reps (Chandler, Richfield, Southington, Poing, Sydney) sit beside 27 field account manager and sales specialist seats, a district sales director in Edina and two Newark key account managers. Of the 80 openings, 28 are in the US, 10 in Taiwan, 8 in Germany, 6 in China and 5 in Serbia, with the rest spread over 17 other countries from Brazil to Vietnam.
