Application Engineer

As application engineer you are the face to the customer for technical discussions and you turn our customers’ designs into conforming products. You translate product specifications into manufacturing workflows, process parameters and inspection plans, and work with our production team to ensure we realize a reliable, repeatable and scalable production process. Establishing and optimizing a smooth production line that can make hundreds, if not thousands, of parts: that’s what you do this for.

Your tasks

CAM file preparation (part orientation, supporting, parameter selection) for the additive manufacturing process

Definition and optimization of process parameters and tooling along the different steps of the manufacturing workflow

Interactions and discussions with your colleagues from production and the engineering department and possible subcontractors to find the best possible way to manufacture a product

Meetings and conference calls with customers to discuss technical details and to provide status updates

Redesigning of AM components in collaboration with our customers

Executing the whole manufacturing workflow yourself during the prototyping phase

Documentation of the process flow and corresponding instructions according to our quality management system

Participation in internal and external R&D projects

Calculating the costs of products and project in the pre-sales stage

Post-calculation of the actual costs after manufacturing
