Job description

We're looking for a Senior Application Engineer to be our in-house manufacturing expert. You'll be the bridge between real-world machining knowledge and our product/data science teams — translating how parts are actually made into logic our platform can use.

This is not a pure desk job. You'll work with CAD/CAM tools daily, validate our costing accuracy against real-world data, support customer demos, and help us handle edge cases that ML models miss.

What You'll Do

• Generate CAM data for various components to validate and benchmark our platform's accuracy
• Prepare detailed process sheets, operation sequences, tool selections and cycle time breakdowns for CNC milling, turning, multi-axis, mill-turn, and Swiss-type components
• Translate machining logic into structured documentation that our engineering and data science teams can code
• Identify and document edge cases — unusual geometries, tight tolerances, complex setups — and help us build solutions for them
• Support customer demos and technical calls, proving how our platform handles their specific parts
• Work with the product team to define what "accurate" means for different component types and materials
• Build and maintain internal databases for tooling, feeds/speeds, and machining parameters

What We're Looking For

• 5-8 years of experience as an Application Engineer at a CAD/CAM software company (Mastercam, Siemens NX, Fusion 360, HyperMILL, Esprit, SolidCAM or similar)
• Strong hands-on knowledge of CNC milling, turning, multi-axis machining, mill-turn, and Swiss-type operations
• Ability to look at a component and define the complete manufacturing approach — setups, fixtures, tools, sequences, cycle times
• Experience conducting technical demos and working directly with manufacturing customers
• Excellent documentation skills — you can explain complex machining logic clearly in writing
• Proficiency in CAD/CAM software and MS Excel/Google Sheets
• Bonus: Exposure to costing, should-costing, or estimating in a manufacturing context
