The Opportunity
This role is for a technically minded manufacturing professional who enjoys engineering, automation, sales support, and customer problem‑solving. You will help shape the early stages of complex automated manufacturing solutions, review customer requirements, interpret technical information, assess process needs, and transform challenges into practical, costed automation concepts.

You will be involved before solutions are fully defined, influencing feasibility, cost, buildability, risks, and alignment with customers’ manufacturing goals.

Position Description
The Manufacturing Engineering Applications Specialist supports the development of automated manufacturing concepts for prospective and existing customers. Working closely with sales, engineering, estimating, suppliers, and internal technical teams, the specialist evaluates customer information and translates it into sound process recommendations and proposal content.

Review customer specifications, drawings, layouts, production data, and related technical information.

Support development of automation concepts for assembly and manufacturing applications.

Prepare or contribute to cycle‑time analysis, layouts, schedules, cost estimates, process documentation, and proposal materials.

Collaborate with sales colleagues during customer discussions, discovery meetings, technical reviews, and proposal development.

Partner with engineering, suppliers, and internal teams to develop reliable, cost‑effective process solutions.

Assess manufacturing feasibility, equipment integration needs, labor considerations, timing, technical risk, and project scope.
