Application Engineer

📍 Omaha, NE 💰 Competitive 🏢 Full Time
**About This Opportunity**
This isn’t just another engineering desk job. It’s your chance to step into a role where your designs get built, your ideas solve real customer problems, and your growth is part of the plan. We’re looking for a hands-on Application Engineer who’s ready to work alongside Sales, Manufacturing, and Quality teams—turning technical specs into manufacturable solutions. If you’ve got 2–3 years of experience and a solid grip on SolidWorks, this is your launchpad.

**What You’ll Do**
You’ll be the bridge between what a customer needs and what our team can build. Every day brings a new challenge: a print to modify, a bill of materials to update, or an engineering change order to process. You’ll:

- Receive design specs from Sales or customers and assess them against our capabilities—then collaborate on the best path forward
- Create detailed drawings, layouts, and schematics using **SolidWorks** and **AutoCAD/DraftsSight**
- Analyze product performance requirements and develop designs that are ready for manufacturing
- Own Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and support corrective action initiatives
- Work side-by-side with Sales, Manufacturing, and Quality during design reviews and solution brainstorming
- Provide engineering support on the shop floor and assist with commissioning activities
- Interpret regulatory codes like UL, NEC, and NFPA to ensure compliance

You’ll also dig into existing design files, make modifications, and locate the best application solutions for each unique customer request. When challenges pop up, you’ll troubleshoot with the engineering team to find answers that work.

**What You Bring**
- 2–3 years of experience in mechanical engineering or a related role
- Strong proficiency in **SolidWorks** (this is non-negotiable)
- Familiarity with AutoCAD or DraftSight
- A knack for turning customer requirements into manufacturable designs
- Comfort working with ECOs, BOMs, and design modifications
- A collaborative mindset—you’re ready to talk to Sales, Manufacturing, and Quality without ego

**Why This Role?**
This is a great entry-level opportunity with real room to grow. You’ll learn the ins and outs of product platforms, get exposure to the full design-to-manufacturing cycle, and build relationships across teams. Plus, you’ll be based in Omaha, NE—no relocation needed if you’re already local.

**Compensation**
$60,000–$70,000 per year, plus bonus potential.
