Application Engineer

The Associate Application Engineer is an entry-level engineering role responsible for supporting the design, development, validation, and launch of products and systems. Working under guidance of Engineering Managers, this role focuses on building foundational technical knowledge, applying engineering principles to defined tasks, and contributing to team deliverables. The Associate Engineer supports customer programs and internal engineering activities while developing the skills and competencies required for independent engineering work.

Key responsibilities include:

• Engineering support & development:
  Assist in the design, development, and release of components and systems under supervision.
• Customer & program support:
  Support preparation of technical data and presentations for customer interactions. Participate in customer and internal technical meetings; document actions and follow-ups.

• Problem solving & continuous improvement:
  Apply basic problem-solving techniques (root cause analysis, 8D support) under guidance. Assist in investigating issues related to testing, manufacturing, or field performance. Contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement activities.
• Cross-functional collaboration:
  
  Work as a contributing member of cross-functional teams (engineering, manufacturing, quality, etc.). Support manufacturing and assembly activities during development and launch phases. Communicate progress, issues, and results clearly to team members.

Job requirements include:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical or related field)
• Internship or co-op experience in engineering or manufacturing environment preferred
• Willingness to learn and adapt in a fast-paced engineering environment
• Ability to work in office, laboratory, and manufacturing settings
• Flexibility for occasional travel as required
• Basic understanding of engineering fundamentals (e.g., mechanics, dynamics, hydraulics)
• Familiarity with engineering drawings, CAD models, and product development
• Awareness of engineering tools such as calculations, testing methods, and data analysis
