Application Engineer - Cold Spray

Impact Innovations is the global technology leader for industrial Cold Spray systems.

Founded in 2010 in Rattenkirchen (Bavaria, Germany), we develop and manufacture in Bavaria - and deliver worldwide. Our technology is used wherever metal components must withstand extreme conditions: aerospace, e‑mobility, energy, and defense.

As a pioneer and innovation driver in Cold Spray, we shape tomorrow’s industrial manufacturing – whether for surface coating or additive manufacturing. Our solutions are IIoT-ready, sustainable, and built for maximum performance.

• Planning and execution of internal and external development projects (application and coating development) in close coordination with the application engineering team
• Development of complex coating strategies, taking technical, economic, and customer‑specific requirements into account
• Evaluation, interpretation, and preparation of experimental results for internal and external project review meetings
• Hands‑on experience with the application of characterization techniques
• Technical support for the sales, product development, and service departments
• Participation in publicly funded research projects
