This is an ideal opportunity for a technically minded manufacturing professional who enjoys living at the intersection of engineering, automation, sales support, and customer problem-solving.
In this role, you will help shape the early stages of complex automated manufacturing solutions. You will review customer requirements, interpret technical information, assess process needs, and help turn a client’s production challenge into a practical, costed, and clearly communicated automation concept.
Rather than working only after a project is sold, you will be involved before the solution takes shape. Your input will help determine what is possible, what it may cost, how it could be built, where the risks are, and how the proposed system can support the customer’s manufacturing goals.
For someone who understands assembly processes, automation, cycle time, equipment integration, and manufacturing feasibility, this role offers meaningful variety, visibility, and influence.
The Manufacturing Engineering Applications Specialist will support the development of automated manufacturing concepts for prospective and existing customers. Working closely with sales, engineering, estimating, suppliers, and internal technical teams, this individual will help evaluate customer information and translate it into sound process recommendations and proposal content.
The role requires both technical judgement and commercial awareness. You will need to understand the customer’s production environment, ask the right questions, identify risks early, and help present solutions in a way that is clear, credible, and aligned with the customer’s needs.
This is a hands-on, front-end technical role suited to someone who can think like an engineer, communicate like a consultant, and support the sales process with accuracy and confidence.
The successful candidate will bring approximately 3 to 5 years of experience in manufacturing, process development, automation, controls, or a closely related technical environment.
The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between technical details and business needs. They can review a drawing, understand a process, identify gaps, contribute to a costing discussion, and help explain the proposed path forward to both internal stakeholders and customers.
