Jonathan Lee Recruitment

Applications Engineer Bring your hands-on engineering talent to the forefront and help deliver precision mechanical builds with confidence. This Applications Engineer role is ideal if you enjoy practical problem-solving, design to machining and creating real, manufacturable solutions from concept to trial-ready tooling. You will join an innovative engineering environment where learning is built into the role, and where the chance to develop expertise within a specialist field that supply product to industries including F1, space, medical and automotive. The Applications Engineer is a non-stop mix of mechanical know-how, design, prototyping, machining, machine build whilst also being customer facing to understand & provide a design solution to their requirements What You Will Do as Applications Engineer: Designing tooling/work holding for coil winding bobbins utilising CAD design, layout of engineering drawings Making prototype tooling/work holding using workshop machinery; manual lathe, milling machine, grinding, workshop hand tools & equipment Using CAD data for 3D printing to manufacture temporary tooling and prototyping (in-house 3D printing facilities) Run trials on different materials and sample components, evaluating results and adapting tooling and machine configuration accordingly Basic electrical work (e.g. swapping out controllers and motors) as part of machine modifications Evaluating sample components and identifying the right machine/tooling approach Running trials and testing different materials / customer samples Support customers with technical assistance, plus occasional site visits when required. What You Will Bring as Applications Engineer: Strong fundamental mechanical engineering understanding, with proven practical capability using toolroom equipment such as manual lathe and milling machine Confidence to read technical drawings and take ideas from 2D/3D design through to manufacture, producing practical outcomes rather than purely visual CAD. Ability to understand basic electrical systems, such as reading simple wiring or circuit diagrams and completing straightforward component swaps safely. A willingness to take machines apart and reassemble without needing step-by-step guidance, with a proactive "have a go" attitude. Ability to work independently to solve design problems through both engineering design and the practical manufacture of components from aluminium and mild steel This Applications Engineer role supports a customer-focused, engineering-led operation built on deep technical expertise, reliable delivery, and continuous improvement. The work contributes to keeping complex machines shipping safely and efficiently, while strengthening customer satisfaction through responsive support, reliable quality control, and practical troubleshooting. Location: This Applications Engineer role is based in Tewkesbury, offering a workshop-and-office blend with occasional customer interactions. Interested?
