Junior Application Engineer

Location: Casalpusterlengo

Location:

Casalpusterlengo plant - hybrid model ( at least 2 days on site)

The role
You’ll support both sides of the engineering lifecycle. One minute you’re helping shape a concept for a customer proposal; the next you’re producing drawings that manufacturing teams actually rely on.

It’s not just CAD work, and it’s not just theory. You’ll get exposure to real projects, real constraints, and occasionally real sites (hard hat included).

Responsibilities
Key responsibilities
Support customer discussions by gathering technical requirements and understanding application conditions
Assist with feasibility studies and solution selection (performance, cost, manufacturability)
Create 3D models in Inventor and 2D drawings in AutoCAD
Produce engineering deliverables – BOMs, specifications, and manufacturing documentation
Turn concept designs into fully released, build-ready drawings and documentation
Support engineering changes (ECR/ECO) and keep documentation accurate and traceable
Work with Project Managers to track risks, resolve issues, and keep projects moving
Get involved in troubleshooting during manufacturing, installation, and commissioning
Support on-site supervision activities globally when required
Help improve templates, standards, and ways of working (not just follow them blindly)

Qualifications
About you / what you’ll bring
A degree in Mechanical, Materials, Industrial Engineering (or similar) – or equivalent practical experience
Up to 3 years’ experience in application or design engineering (internships count)
Familiarity with CAD tools – ideally Autodesk Inventor and/or AutoCAD
A basic understanding of industrial processes, or the curiosity to learn fast
Experience (or exposure) to translating customer needs into technical solutions
A structured approach to problem-solving – you like figuring things out, not guessing
Good communication skills – you can explain things clearly without over complicating them
Attention to detail, especially when it comes to drawings and documentation
A team-first mindset – open to feedback, willing to learn, and easy to work with
Comfortable working in English; other European languages are a bonus
A bit of resilience – projects change, things move quickly, and that’s part of the job

Nice to have
Exposure to high-temperature materials, insulation, or refractory applications
Experience working with manufacturing or operations teams
Familiarity with BOMs, engineering documentation, or change control processes
Basic root cause analysis/problem-solving tools

What You’ll Get
Full exposure to the engineering lifecycle – from concept through to site installation
Hands‑on experience early in your career (not just shadowing others)
Support from experienced engineers who’ll help you develop properly
International project exposure, including site work
A straightforward, practical engineering environment – focused on getting things right
