Job Description
Confidential Job Posting: Applications Engineer (Proposal-Focused) Location: Metro Detroit, MI Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire Compensation: Competitive + Bonus Potential Industry: Precision Machinery / Capital Equipment
---
Where Engineering Meets Business Our confidential client is a global leader in precision machinery and advanced manufacturing systems . Before any machine is built, it starts with a well-engineered proposal — and that's where this role comes in. We are seeking an Applications Engineer who excels at evaluating customer requirements, developing technical concepts, and creating clear, competitive proposals for complex, custom machinery.

What You'll Be Doing
* Review customer RFQs and develop technical and cost proposals for capital equipment * Translate customer requirements into machine concepts, layouts, and solution summaries * Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and sales teams to define optimal solutions * Prepare cost estimates, assumptions, and technical clarifications for proposal packages * Support customer-facing technical discussions and pre-award meetings * Ensure proposals are accurate, competitive, and aligned with customer needs
---
Required Qualifications (Must Be Shown on Resume)
* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience * Proposal experience must be clearly documented on your resume to be considered
* (RFQs, estimating, quoting, applications engineering, sales engineering, or bid support)
* Experience with capital equipment, machine tools, or industrial machinery * Strong mechanical aptitude and understanding of how machines are built * Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to customers and internal teams
Candidates without proposal experience listed on their resume will not be considered.

Preferred Qualifications
* Experience with precision machining systems, metal cutting, or automation * CAD experience (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar) * Background in applications engineering, sales engineering, or estimating * Customer-facing technical experience

Why This Role Stands Out
* You influence projects before they exist * You work across engineering, manufacturing, and commercial teams * Your work directly impacts which projects move forward * You'll be involved in custom, high-precision machinery — not off-the-shelf products
