Application Engineer

Overview

Location: Stoughton, WI (Relocation Assistance Available)

About the Opportunity

I'm partnering with a global engineering and manufacturing leader that is experiencing tremendous growth as demand for backup power systems continues to surge across AI, hyperscale, healthcare, and mission-critical infrastructure.

This isn't a traditional manufacturing engineering position. You'll own technically challenging, custom-engineered projects from customer requirements through final production while working directly with some of the world's leading engine manufacturers.

If you're looking for a role where you'll have visibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges alongside a highly respected leadership team, I'd love to connect.

• Serve as the primary technical contact throughout the application engineering process.
• Design custom industrial exhaust, thermal management, and engineered system solutions.
• Develop system layouts, engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and technical documentation.
• Evaluate customer specifications and translate them into manufacturable engineering solutions.
• Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams across North America, Europe, and Asia.
• Manage engineering projects from quotation through production while ensuring quality, schedule, and customer satisfaction.
• Participate in customer meetings and technical reviews.

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in Product Design, Applications Engineering, or Mechanical Design.
• Experience using Solid Works, Inventor, or similar 3D CAD software.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, fluid flow, thermodynamics, and manufacturable product design.
• Excellent communication and project management skills.

Experience supporting any of the following industries is highly desirable:

• Power Generation
• Emissions Control
• Thermal Management
• Construction Equipment
• Commercial Vehicles

Experience working with Cummins, Caterpillar, Generac, Kohler, MTU, Detroit Diesel, or similar OEMs is a significant plus.

• Work on large, technically complex projects—not repetitive designs.
• Direct interaction with world-class OEM customers.
• Strong engineering manager with a proven history of developing and retaining top talent.
• Collaborative team environment with real autonomy.
• Growing division supported by the expanding AI and data center infrastructure market.
• Excellent long-term career growth opportunities within a global organization.
