Jobbeschreibung

As a FARO CREAFORM Application Engineer in Automated Quality Control (A-QC), you will turn complex inspection challenges into robust robotic 3D scanning solutions—supporting customers and internal teams worldwide. You will lead technical execution from concept to on‑site commissioning, ensuring performance, quality, and on‑time delivery while maximizing customer satisfaction.

You will collaborate daily with Sales, After‑Sales Service, and Creaform’s metrology experts, and partner with the A‑QC Operations Manager on strategic initiatives such as knowledge development, process deployment, and continuous improvement. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands‑on robotics, metrology, customer‑facing problem solving, and contributing to next‑generation inspection products.

Responsibilities

• Deliver A‑QC service projects end‑to‑end: develop and optimize robot trajectories, build inspection programs, and support the design and integration of 3D‑scan‑ready inspection fixtures;
• Commission and integrate Creaform robotic inspection cells at customer sites; program robots, perform mechanical assembly, and coordinate third‑party providers when required;
• Execute validation and acceptance tests after installation, troubleshoot issues, and fine‑tune system performance to meet specifications;
• Support the sales team with simulations, technical risk assessment, solution definition, customer demonstrations, and technical validations;
• Train customers and internal teams on automation products, 3D scanning workflows, and related software—sharing best practices and enabling autonomy;
• Represent Creaform as a technical expert at trade shows, product launches, and customer events (presentations, live demos, and technical Q&A);
• Support the robotic application after‑sales service team (remote or on‑site) by diagnosing issues, proposing corrective actions, and accelerating time‑to‑resolution;
• Contribute to new product and feature development by bringing field feedback, validating concepts, and participating in testing and release activities;
• Create, update, and review technical documentation (procedures, application notes, and training material) to standardize best practices;
• Design and facilitate hands‑on technical workshops during internal training events to accelerate skills development across the organization

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, automation, robotics, metrology, or a related field (or equivalent hands‑on experience);
• Experience (professional or project‑based) with industrial robotics, automation, or motion programming is an asset;
• Knowledge of metrology, 3D scanning, or inspection workflows (e.g., point clouds, GD&T, inspection reports) is an asset;
• German proficiency at CEFR C2 / native‑level (written and spoken);
• Fluent in customer‑facing situations in German and English: leading technical discussions, delivering demos, and writing clear technical documentation;
• Willingness to travel internationally (approximately 50%), including customer sites and internal events;

Required Profile

• Customer‑oriented and collaborative—able to build trust with engineers, production teams, and suppliers;
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills—comfortable diagnosing root causes in robotics, software, and measurement results;
• Autonomous and resourceful—takes ownership, learns quickly, and knows when to elevate and align;
• Organized and pragmatic—able to manage multiple projects, priorities, and stakeholders in parallel;
• Adaptable in complex or ambiguous situations—communicates clearly, align expectations, and keeps projects moving forward
