Job Type: Full-Time
Compensation: $70,000 to $90,000 per year.

Overview

Our client, a leading manufacturer in advanced engineered products, is seeking an Applications Engineer to support customer-driven new product introduction (NPI) projects. This role focuses on engineering deliverables, technical communication, and cross-functional collaboration throughout the project lifecycle. The successful candidate will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to develop, validate, and launch high-quality, manufacturable engineering solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Understand customer applications, vehicle programs, emerging technologies, and engineering requirements including regulatory and competitive considerations.

• Lead technical communication throughout project phases, including product evaluation, testing, and measurement to establish design targets.

• Recommend engineering solutions using available technologies, material standards, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles.

• Select purchased components and collaborate with suppliers as needed.

• Utilize engineering calculation tools and light FEA/CFD analysis (e.g., ANSYS for stress, back pressure, surface temperature).

• Coordinate with internal development teams for advanced engineering support and work with design centers for model/drawing completion, markups, and engineering change notifications using PTC Windchill and Creo View.

• Ensure released drawings and process flow documentation are feasible, manufacturable, and compliant with customer requirements.

• Create preliminary process documentation (PFD) and support handoff to manufacturing engineering teams through launch.

• Work directly with customer engineers, suppliers, sales, costing, manufacturing, and quality teams on pre-sales, new awards, NPI activities, and production support.

• Build strong technical relationships with customers through effective communication and engineering leadership.

• Support development of technical solutions related to acoustics, thermals, fluids/power, and durability.

• Consider manufacturability, GD&T, measurement capability, materials, performance, and compliance requirements in all design work.

• Use Creo Parametric to design and model complete systems, including DFM modifications, integration of standard products, and customer-directed design updates.

• Coordinate testing and validation at customer or internal facilities.

• Monitor industry trends, customer needs, competitive products, and technological advancements to support proposals and business cases for sustainable product development.

• Lead cross-functional continuous improvement initiatives for existing products.

• Support all phases of the business process from concept and development through prototype, validation, production launch, and market introduction.

• Occasional travel required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited institution.

• Minimum 5 years of mechanical engineering experience.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in a related industry (e.g., automotive, engineered products, industrial systems).

• Proficiency with CAE and CAD tools.

• Strong understanding of ASME Y14.5–2009, welding processes, and metal forming.
