What are the responsibilities and job description for the Application Engineer position at The Richmond Group USA?
The Richmond Group USA is working with an industry-leading manufacturer to find their next Applications Engineer. This is a great opportunity for a mechanical engineer who enjoys solving problems, working directly with customers, and designing custom solutions rather than doing the same drawing day after day.
In this role, you'll serve as the technical bridge between customers, sales, engineering, and operations—translating customer requirements into engineered solutions, supporting quotations, troubleshooting applications, and helping drive product improvements. We're looking for someone with 3 years of mechanical engineering experience who enjoys tackling technical challenges, collaborating with customers, and developing engineered solutions from concept through production. Strong communication skills, customer-facing experience, and the ability to write technical reports are important.
The company offers excellent benefits, employee ownership, continuing education support, strong job stability, and a proven history of promoting from within. Their products play an important role in food production facilities worldwide, and their engineers enjoy a healthy work/life balance without the burden of being on call all the time. If you enjoy variety, customer interaction, and seeing your designs come to life, we'd love to talk.
Background:
- BS in Mechanical Engineering required; 3 years of mechanical engineering and product design experience.
- Strong technical aptitude with the ability to work effectively with customers and cross-functional teams.
- Experience developing custom-engineered solutions, not just CAD modeling.
- Excellent communication, technical writing, and project coordination skils.
