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.
