Enjoy being where the action is? Then this is the position for you !

We are looking for individuals who have a passion for technology, a love of challenging work, and a willingness to travel across the globe. Potential candidates should be resourceful, strong problem solvers, and have the ability to think on their feet.

As a key member of the Sciemetric Installations Team, the Application Engineer will be charged with deploying Sciemetric test systems at customer sites throughout North America and the rest of the world. You will work directly with a wide array of blue chip customers to implement test systems and provide advanced technical support.

In this role, you will leverage our proprietary electronic signature analysis software and In-Process Testing (IPT) technology to understand manufacturing process behavior and help customers find defects in their processes. You will create custom applications using our software to acquire, process, and analyze data from analog and digital instruments, and then apply it to manufacturing processes to find defects, improve quality, and increase thru-put. You will have the opportunity to own a project from the start of application development through to commissioning on the customer's floor. While you will be based in the Detroit -Windsor area, you will have the opportunity to travel throughout North America and across the globe (overnight travel can be 30- 50% of the time).

Key Responsibilities

• Program and configure application software to collect and process data from instruments such as load cells, pressure transducers, linear and rotary encoders, measurement lasers, and accelerometers.
• Apply the appropriate filtering, smoothing, data processing, and statistical analysis techniques to identify key features in a customer's manufacturing process to find defects and/or anomalies in their parts.
• Configure Sciemetric hardware (PC based) to communicate and extract data from third party devices, PLCs, measurement systems, and bolt tightening equipment using various protocols such as field bus (Profinet, Ethernet I/P, Modbus), file transfer (FTP), OPC, serial, and other data transfer schemes.
• Setup and configure Sciemetric data management host server (QualityWorX) to store test results from plant floor data acquisition systems
• Provide assistance to the sales team by conducting product demonstrations and proof of principle studies.
• Communicate customer requirements to the sales team, and explain product capabilities to our business partners and customers.

• Lua coding background
• NVH experience
• Expertise in leak testing.
• Knowledge of signal processing, noise filtering and A/D convertors

About Sciemetric Instruments

Sciemetric Instruments has been working in measurement and data management for over 30 years. We pioneered signature analysis for in-process defect detection in manufacturing in the early 1990s, starting with the automotive industry's first engine cold test application for the V8/V10 engine line for a top North American auto maker. Our goal is to give our customers visibility into its processes that is required to optimize yield, boost quality and drive down costs. Must be a Canadian or US Citizen.

We are specialists in manufacturing: our technology, experience and products span processes across the assembly line. Our customers include many of the world's top manufacturers in a range of industries and many
