Job Description:
We are seeking an Application Engineer to own the front-end technical development and customer submittal process for custom walk-in diesel generator enclosure projects.
This role sits at the intersection of sales, engineering, and project execution. You will translate customer requirements, project specifications, and applicable codes into clear, accurate submittal packages that define scope, configuration, and technical intent—setting projects up for smooth approval and successful downstream execution.
Key Responsibilities:
- Review customer RFQs, specifications, drawings, and project requirements for custom generator enclosure projects
- Develop complete project submittal packages for customer and engineer-of-record approval, including:
- General arrangement drawings and layouts
- Equipment and system descriptions
- Compliance narratives (codes, standards, and specifications)
- Preliminary Bills of Material (BOMs) and major component selections
- Collaborate with sales, project management, engineering, and manufacturing to ensure proposed solutions are accurate, buildable, and aligned with company capabilities
- Clearly define scope, assumptions, and exclusions to prevent downstream change orders and rework
- Use AutoCAD and SolidWorks to generate, revise, and maintain submittal drawings
- Coordinate revisions and responses throughout the customer submittal review and approval cycle
- Identify technical risks, conflicts, or gaps early and proactively drive resolution
- Support project handoff from approved submittals into detailed design and production
- Maintain internal standards for submittal quality, consistency, and document control
