Applications Engineer - Innovations Team

Brinkman Products

Brinkman Products is looking for an Applications Engineer to join our Innovations Team . This role is open to entry-level and mid-level engineers who are excited to work hands-on with manufacturing equipment and help deliver complete, turnkey manufacturing solutions for our customers.

Whether you're early in your career and eager to learn, or you already have experience and are ready to take on more ownership, this role offers the opportunity to work on real projects that move from concept to production.

What You'll Do

As part of the Innovations Team, you'll help turn ideas into working manufacturing solutions:

• Support the development, testing, and implementation of turnkey manufacturing solutions
• Work hands-on with manufacturing equipment , tooling, fixtures, and processes
• Assist with application development from concept through validation and production handoff
• Collaborate with customers to understand application needs and performance requirements
• Work closely with internal engineering, manufacturing, and sales teams
• Troubleshoot and improve processes to enhance quality, efficiency, and reliability
• Support new product introductions, customer trials, and demonstrations
• Travel to customer facilities as needed to support training, implementation, and startup of manufacturing solutions
• Help document processes, test results, and best practices

Responsibilities and level of ownership will be aligned with experience, with room to grow.

What We're Looking For

• Entry-level: Strong interest in manufacturing, process development, and hands-on engineering
• Mid-level: 3-7 years of experience in manufacturing, applications engineering, process engineering, or similar roles
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort working in a shop or manufacturing environment
• Proficiency with SolidWorks is desired (experience creating or modifying models, fixtures, or tooling)
• Lathe/Machining Experience is desired
• Curiosity, problem-solving mindset, and willingness to learn
• Ability to work collaboratively and communicate clearly with customers and teammates

Why This Role Appeals to Today's Engineers

• Hands-on work: This is not a desk-only engineering role
• Real impact: You'll work on solutions that go into production and directly support customers
• Growth path: Entry-level engineers receive mentorship and training; mid-level engineers gain increased ownership
• Respect for balance: We value sustainable workloads and clear expectations
• Variety: Exposure to different applications, equipment, and customer challenges

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and paid holidays

If you enjoy solving real manufacturing problems, working hands-on with equipment, and seeing your ideas become working solutions, we encourage you to apply-even if you don't meet every qualification.
