  APPLICATIONS ENGINEER TRAINEES (2) Southwest Connecticut

This is a rare opportunity for you to leverage your classwork in engineering and manufacturing experience to become an Applications Engineer within a two year period. Following a formal Applications Engineering training program, you will travel the U.S. and Europe 25% of the time, assessing aerospace customer requirements for products, evaluating designs, making technical presentations, using 3D modeling for design feasibility and performance, and strengthening relationships with customers. This division of an aggressive corporation has had sales leap by 50% since 2009 and they had a 22% increase in sales each year for three years prior to that. Their customers include a long list of Fortune 50 aerospace corporations. The atmosphere is unstructured and freewheeling, allowing plenty of opportunities for career advancement. The highly positive General Manager, also an engineer, is known for allowing his staff to stretch out and find their own limits. Because this is a dynamic, rapidly changing company, serious opportunities for career growth abound. This new training program will include exposure to manufacturing methods, one year in design engineering, one year in applications engineering, travel to a number of corporate manufacturing sites, materials research, seminars on team building, and on making presentations, and more. The salary ranges between $45,000 for light experience to $65,000. Benefits include Aetna Choice POS II Medical, Met Life Dental, vision care, tuition aid and company-matched 401 (k). Requires some manufacturing experience (design or manufacturing engineering dept. preferred), some college engineering coursework, “roots in Connecticut”, a people-oriented personality, strong mechanical aptitude, an interest in travel, and the drive to build a longterm career in engineering.
