  • Analyze customer workflows and recommend process improvements or machine parameter adjustments. 

  • Collaborate with Maintecx Sales and Service Engineers, and coordinate with TRUMPF’s Applications group to align on customer needs and priorities. 

  • Travel to customer sites for installations, training, process reviews, and applications support. 

  • Submit timely and well-documented service and applications reports according to company standards. 

  • Maintain strict adherence to safety protocols, including customer-specific requirements. 

  • Participate in ongoing technical training to stay current with new TRUMPF technologies and product updates. 

What We’re Looking For 

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a customer-first mindset. 

  • Detail-oriented, organized, and capable of working both independently and collaboratively. 

  • Experience with CAD/drafting or modeling software and a solid understanding of manufacturing processes. 

  • Hands-on experience in CNC machinery or industrial applications preferred. 

  • Prior knowledge of TRUMPF products is a plus. 

  • Willingness to travel frequently, including periodic overnight stays and travel by air or vehicle. 

  • Valid driver’s license required. 

What We Offer 

  • Competitive pay based on experience and technical skill. 

  • Employer-paid health insurance. 

  • 401(k) with profit sharing. 

  • Paid training and full reimbursement for travel-related expenses. 

  • Per diem provided during overnight travel. 

  • Generous PTO, including vacation days and paid holidays. 

  • Company-provided vehicle, laptop, cell phone, and tools. 

  • A modern, high-tech work environment with continuous learning. 

  • A workplace built on mutual trust, technical pride, and team support.
