TL;DR · Application Engineer

The Application Engineer joins a team focused on developing and deploying advanced analytics for complex industrial systems. In this hands-on technical role, you will bridge engineering domain knowledge with data analytics and AI/ML to translate operational needs into scalable, production-ready solutions for real manufacturing environments. You will break down unstructured domain knowledge into structured analytical inputs, design and maintain algorithmic models, and manage the analytics lifecycle including validation and versioning. Key responsibilities include identifying patterns in operational data, prototyping new algorithmic approaches, and interpreting model outputs into engineering recommendations. Required skills include basic programming in Python or R, practical familiarity with modern AI/ML techniques like Generative AI, and experience with model lifecycle management. This role solves the challenge of extracting actionable insights from complex industrial equipment datasets.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and maintain analytics and algorithmic models for industrial applications.
  • Translate complex engineering problems and unstructured domain knowledge into structured analytical inputs.
  • Analyze operational data to identify patterns, anomalies, and actionable insights for system performance.
  • Prototype new algorithmic approaches and support their transition into production software.
  • Validate analytical models against real-world scenarios to ensure robustness and practical usability.
  • Manage the analytics lifecycle including validation, versioning, and release readiness.
  • Interpret model outputs to provide clear engineering recommendations and technical documentation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of relevant experience with a Bachelor’s degree, or 2+ years with a Master’s degree, in application engineering or algorithm development.
  • Experience with model/version lifecycle management, release processes, or production software environments.
  • Basic programming skills in Python, R, or similar for data analysis and prototyping.
  • Practical familiarity with applying modern AI/ML techniques, including Generative AI, to knowledge extraction or decision support.
  • Experience in industrial, manufacturing, or complex system environments (preferred).
  • Exposure to semiconductor equipment systems (preferred).
  • Strong software development experience in Python, R, C#, or similar for production-quality code (preferred).
