Kickstart Your Engineering Career - Applications Engineer (Entry-Level)

Ready to turn your mechanical engineering knowledge into real-world impact? We're looking for a curious, hands-on Applications Engineer to help solve customer challenges with innovative sealing solutions.

What You'll Do

You won't just sit behind a desk - you'll dive into real engineering problems:

• Review drawings, specs, and technical requirements
• Assist in designing part-level solutions based on manufacturing capabilities
• Support technical quotes, answer engineering questions, and collaborate with sales
• Research materials, competitors, and alternative solutions
• Document insights and contribute to smarter, faster decision-making

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than an entry-level job - it's a launchpad. You'll get structured training, hands-on experience, and mentorship to grow into a confident applications engineer.

• 0-3 years of experience (internships/co-ops count!)
• Familiarity with CAD tools like SolidWorks or AutoCAD
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Clear communication and a customer-first mindset

You'll Thrive Here If You…

• Love figuring out how things work
• Ask questions and keep learning
• Enjoy collaborating across teams
• Take ownership and follow through
