Senior Application Engineer

Sr Application Engineer

You've spent years designing high-precision automated assembly systems. Here you design the next one from home, and no two look alike.

The Role

A privately held automation builder with 70+ years in the business needs a senior applications engineer to concept its machines. You'll take a customer's RFQ, figure out how to build it, and make the call on what it costs. Travel to headquarters and customers as needed.

Why It's Worth Your Time

Remote, on serious equipment. Work from home on complex, multi-station assembly systems with feeding, robotics and vision.

Every project is a blank page so you're creative every time.

Your work is visible. Your concepts shape which projects get won, and you'll see how your estimate holds up against actual cost.

You'll be among peers. Candidates who interview here consistently remark on the caliber of the people and how collaborative the team is.

Real stability. Privately held, no plans to sell to PE, and profit sharing for every employee.

What You'll Actually Do

• Turn RFQs and specifications into machine concepts, layouts and cycle time studies
• Build cost and hour estimates, then make the call on pricing
• Present the solution alongside sales, with no sales quota
• Lead concept teams and direct R&D when a project needs it
• Run technical kickoffs, support design reviews and track actual cost against budget

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years in automation equipment engineering, 5+ concepting complex systems
• Background in high-precision automated assembly (medical device ideal, other complex assembly welcome)
• Layouts in AutoCAD or SolidWorks
• Comfort owning the price and standing behind it
