With over 30 years of experience and 1,000+ installations worldwide, we’re at the forefront of test automation, simulation, and lab management solutions.\nIf you’re excited about solving real-world engineering challenges-and want to see your work come to life in customer labs-this is a great place to start.\nWhat You’ll Do\nAs an Applications Engineer, you’ll bridge the gap between engineering and real-world implementation. You won’t just design-you’ll build, test, troubleshoot, and bring systems online.\nYour day-to-day will include:\nAid in development and configuration of software and hardware solutions for battery, engine, and vehicle development and validation test systems\nHelp commission test stands and labs-setup instrumentation, tune control loops, and verify performance\nTroubleshoot hardware and software issues in real-world environments\nWork directly with customers to deploy systems and ensure successful startups\nProvide hands-on training and support to customers at their sites\nPartner with project managers to keep projects on track (scope, timing, and budget)\nSupport product demos, trade shows, and internal innovation efforts\nTravel & Field Experience\nThis role includes significant travel to customer locations throughout North America. For the right person, that's one of the best parts of the job. You'll get to:\nVisit a wide variety of customer facilities and engineering environments\nWork alongside engineers developing advanced vehicle and battery technologies\nSolve challenging technical problems in real-world applications\nBuild strong customer relationships and professional experience early in your career\nExperience a level of variety and responsibility rarely available in entry-level roles\nIf you enjoy being on the move, learning new systems, and working in different environments rather than sitting behind the same desk every day, you'll thrive here\nWhy This Role is Great for Early-Career Engineers\nThis isn't a role where you'll spend years behind a desk before seeing the impact of your work. You'll be in the field, working with cutting-edge technology and helping customers bring test systems online. You'll gain exposure to:\nReal-world engineering challenges from day one\nBattery, engine, and vehicle testing technologies\nSoftware, controls, electrical systems, instrumentation, and mechanical integration\nCustomer-facing engineering experience that accelerates professional growth\nTravel opportunities to customer facilities across North America and beyond\nNo two weeks look the same. One day you might be troubleshooting a control system in Michigan, and the next you could be helping commission a battery test lab at a customer site. If you enjoy variety, hands-on work, and seeing different industries and locations, this role offers experiences many engineers don't get until much later in their careers\nWhat Makes People Successful Here\nThe engineers who thrive in this role are naturally curious, adaptable, and enjoy solving real-world problems. They are often the people who:\nLike figuring out how things work and aren't afraid to take things apart to understand them\nEnjoy building, repairing, modifying, or restoring things-whether that's cars, motorcycles, electronics, robots, or personal projects\nThink analytically while approaching challenges creatively\nEnjoy troubleshooting and don't give up when the answer isn't immediately obvious\nAdapt well to new environments, customer sites, and changing priorities\nLike working directly with people and helping customers solve problems\nPrefer a dynamic role that combines engineering, field work, and travel rather than sitting behind a desk every day\nWhat You Bring\nBachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or similar) or equivalent experience\nUnderstanding of basic electrical and mechanical systems\nFamiliarity with Windows Operating Systems, Microsoft Tools, and basic networking\nYou'll Stand Out If You Have\nInternship, co-op, or hands-on engineering project experience\nParticipation in Formula SAE, Baja SAE, robotics competitions, capstone projects, or similar programs\nExperience with testing, controls, instrumentation, data acquisition, or automation systems\nFamiliarity with troubleshooting electrical, mechanical, or software systems\nInterest in automotive, electrification, battery testing, or energy technologies\nBasic experience with networking or industrial communications\nExperience working directly with customers, teammates, or cross-functional groups\nStrong communication skills and a customer-focused mindset\nWhat We Do (and Why It Matters)\nA&D Technology creates integrated systems for measurement, control, simulation, and data management used in vehicle and battery development. [aanddtech.com]\nOur solutions help customers:\nImprove vehicle performance and durability\nAccelerate EV and battery innovation\nAutomate complex testing processes\nProvide tools to make faster, data-driven engineering decisions\nYou’ll be part of the team making that happen.\nWork Environment\nThis role combines office, lab, and on-site work:\nHands-on work in test labs and engineering environments\nSignificant travel to customer locations - 60% travel\nActive, collaborative work with cross-functional teams\nA Few Things to Know\nThis role is physically active at times (equipment setup, lab work)\nYou’ll be working around test systems, instrumentation, and technical environments\nStrong safety awareness and attention to detail are essential","description_format":"text","description_chars":5840,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Software Testing & QA"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T04:07:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ad-company-applications-engineer-1","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ad-company-applications-engineer-1.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T03:08:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4891,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2232525},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2232525"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fad-company-applications-engineer-1"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fad-company-applications-engineer-1"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fad-company-applications-engineer-1"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ad-company-applications-engineer-1\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fad-company-applications-engineer-1"}]}
