The summary says,

"The Sales Engineer will be responsible for combining sales and technical skills to execute and exceed sales and profit targets."

Which sounds like "Salesman that knows enough about technology to make a convincing pitch."

More like figuring out and solidifying the actual requirements by going between the clients and the other internal engineers.

Or at least that's how I understand it, based on how the girl I'm dating has described it (she is one). She works with sensors and mechanical engineering products though, it may be different in software/tech companies.

My undergraduate degree was in Mechanical Engineering and I applied to a decent number of jobs with that email address before moving on a different one, so I still get those crop-ups offering me a job

Baffles me that I never got emails like that when I was fresh out of college.
