Bozeman, Montana

X-Series USA designs, develops, and supports advanced industrial machinery including fiber laser cutting systems, robotic welding automation, structural steel processing equipment, and custom manufacturing solutions.

From our headquarters in Belgrade, Montana, we focus on research, development, machine productization, applications engineering, and advanced manufacturing technologies that help North American manufacturers improve productivity, quality, and competitiveness.

Engineering is responsible for evaluating, developing, refining, standardizing, supporting, and continuously improving machine platforms across multiple product categories while increasing ownership of machine designs, engineering standards, technical resources, documentation, and intellectual property.

We are seeking a skilled, hands‑on welder who is interested in growing into a specialized role supporting our BeamWELD robotic welding system for structural steel fabrication.

This position is ideal for someone with strong welding and structural fabrication experience who wants to expand into automation, commissioning, and customer‑facing applications work. You do not need to be an robotics expert on day one – a solid welding foundation and a willingness to learn are the most important requirements.

Applications Engineers are technical subject matter experts responsible for commissioning equipment, developing and validating processes, conducting customer training, supporting demonstrations, and serving as a primary applications resource for customers throughout the United States.

This position requires frequent travel and direct interaction with customers, operators, programmers, and production personnel to ensure successful machine implementation and long‑term customer success.

• Develop a thorough understanding of the BeamWELD system including its welding capabilities, safety features, basic programming, and daily operation.
• Become a primary internal resource for running typical BeamWELD jobs and basic troubleshooting.

• Set up and run weld trials on structural components such as beams, columns, stiffeners, and plate weldments.
• Assist in developing and refining welding parameters to achieve consistent quality and productivity.
• Support the creation and maintenance of Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs) and Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs) under the guidance of senior staff.
• Assist with installation and commissioning of new BeamWELD systems at customer facilities.
• Perform and document system calibration, basic functional tests, and initial weld trials.
• Work alongside senior engineers to identify and resolve issues related to the welding process, basic machine hardware, safety devices, and configuration.
• Provide remote support to customers by reviewing photos, videos, weld parameters, and error descriptions to help diagnose and resolve issues.
• When needed, support on‑site service visits for more complex problems in coordination with the service and engineering teams.
• Log, track, and follow up on customer issues to ensure they are resolved and that lessons learned are communicated internally.

• Support training of customer welders and operators on machine operation, weld setup, and routine maintenance.
• Assist with in‑house and on‑site demonstrations for prospects and customers.
• Communicate observations from shop and field use back to engineering and management, including opportunities for product, process, and documentation improvements.
• Contribute to internal guides, parameter charts, and troubleshooting documents as expertise develops.

• Develop and maintain welding parameter libraries.
• Assist in development of a standardized BeamWELD training curriculum.
• Support the creation of troubleshooting guides, quick‑reference materials, videos, and customer resources.
