New Products Application Engineer (AE) Although listed as remote, this role is ideally hybrid with candidates located near our New Orleans headquarters Division: ILOX US Horizontal Food Spiral Engineering Travel: Approximately 30-40% Position Summary Intralox is seeking an Application Engineer to join our ILOX US Horizontal Food Spiral Engineering team. This is a high-impact, customer-facing engineering role where you will apply technical expertise to real-world challenges, develop innovative solutions, and travel to customer sites to see your work in action. With 30-40% travel, this position is ideal for someone who wants to grow quickly, gain broad industry exposure, and build a career foundation in applications engineering, field engineering, or product leadership. This role offers a unique opportunity: you will work directly with customers, collaborate internally across engineering and R&D groups, and influence how our technologies are designed, applied, and improved. If you thrive in environments that mix hands-on work, analytical thinking, customer interaction, and continuous learning, this position offers exceptional long-term career potential. Job Responsibilities and Requirements Responsibilities * Serve as a senior technical resource for customers, including on-site visits, system evaluations, and solution recommendations * Apply engineering fundamentals to design, evaluate, and optimize conveyor and material-handling solutions in complex environments * Partner with R&D, Product Management, Manufacturing, and Sales to support customer projects and new applications * Lead the technical execution of projects, including layout development, performance modeling, installation support, and post-installation validation * Travel regionally (approximately 30-40%) to conduct audits, troubleshooting, system assessments, and customer training * Develop clear technical documentation, presentations, and training materials for both internal and external audiences * Provide structured, data-driven customer feedback to support product improvements and influence future development * Participate in field testing, data collection, reliability assessments, and performance analysis Qualifications * Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or related Engineering field (or equivalent experience) * Minimum of 5 years of engineering experience, ideally involving fieldwork, system design, troubleshooting, or customer-facing technical support * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to apply engineering concepts in real-world settings * Effective communication skills, including the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences * Ability to work in customer manufacturing environments and build strong, trust-based relationships * Willingness and ability to travel 30-40% * Highly organized, self-directed, and capable of managing multiple priorities * Curiosity and interest in learning new technologies, tools, and engineering methods What This Role Offers * Accelerated career development through hands-on fieldwork, customer engagement, and cross-functional collaboration * Direct exposure to customer operations, allowing you to see the real-time impact of your engineering decisions * Broad skill development across system design, troubleshooting, customer communication, and project leadership * A chance to represent innovative Intralox technologies in the field and influence future product improvements * A values-driven culture focused on continuous improvement, technical curiosity, and long-term growth Why This Role Stands Out This is not a desk-only engineering job. You will be in the field, solving live customer problems, building trust, influencing product decisions, and gaining the kind of experience that accelerates careers. You'll learn fast, travel with purpose, work on visible projects, and help customers optimize operations using industry-leading technology. If you want a role that builds versatile engineering talent and sets you up for future leadership opportunities, this is the place to start. If you're excited to grow your skills, work directly with customers, and be part of a team shaping innovative conveyance solutions, we'd love to hear from you.
