About X-Series USA

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 highly organized and execution-focused Project Engineer to serve as the primary coordination point between OEM factory development teams and the X-Series Engineering Department.

The initial focus of this role is to support Engineering in establishing the X-Series standard for technical documentation and engineering resources across all current machine platforms. This includes coordinating the acquisition, organization, validation, and maintenance of OEM technical information required for Engineering to develop X-Series-owned machine layouts, site requirement documents, electrical requirement documents, engineering standards, technical documentation packages, configuration records, manuals, implementation resources, service documentation, training materials, and other machine-specific support resources.

This is not a product strategy, product management, engineering management, or design authority role. Technical direction, engineering priorities, design standards, and final engineering decisions remain with the CTO and Lead Development Engineer.

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.

• Execute assigned machine development projects under the direction of the Lead Development Engineer.
• Translate engineering directives into structured project plans with measurable deliverables and timelines.
• Maintain project schedules, engineering priorities, milestone tracking, and development status reporting.
• Identify and communicate project risks, delays, resource constraints, and technical roadblocks.
• Serve as a primary engineering point of contact for project management, sales, service, and customer-facing stakeholders.
• Support technical communication and issue resolution between Engineering, OEM partners, and customer-facing teams.
• Ensure assigned engineering tasks are completed according to scope, timeline, quality expectations, and project objectives.

• Act as a primary coordination point between OEM factory product managers and the domestic engineering team.
• Coordinate acquisition of technical information required to support development of X-Series engineering resources and documentation standards.
• Obtain, organize, validate, and maintain OEM resources including mechanical drawings, CAD models, BOMs, electrical schematics, pneumatic and hydraulic diagrams, software backups, OEM specifications, technical manuals, configuration records, and testing and validation data.
• Work with OEM teams to resolve documentation gaps, discrepancies, and incomplete technical data packages.
• Support development and refinement of existing machine platforms requiring additional engineering attention.
• Assist with execution of machine variants, custom…
