About this role
Xometry's Application Engineer role sits at the intersection of customer needs and manufacturing capability. You'd spend your time translating customer requests—pulling apart RFQ documents, CAD files, and drawings—into actionable manufacturing solutions for injection molding. The work involves technical review and design-for-manufacturing feedback, basic file optimization using CAD software, and direct customer engagement to clarify requirements and resolve issues. You'd support a range of industries from aerospace and defense to medical devices, working closely with sales and engineering teams to move quotes and custom solutions forward.
The role calls for solid technical grounding: an associate degree in a technology field or equivalent hands-on experience, comfort with 3D CAD tools like SolidWorks or Inventor, and the ability to read and evaluate 2D drawings. Injection molding experience is highly valued, though the job description suggests willingness to learn matters as much as existing expertise. You need to be customer-focused, communicative, and capable of juggling multiple channels—RFQs, ZenDesk tickets, emails—while maintaining database accuracy and escalating complex issues appropriately.
Based in Los Angeles and in-office, the position offers a salary range of $65,000 to $85,000 plus commission, with standard benefits including 401(k) match, health insurance, paid time off, and wellness resources. This is a good fit if you have injection molding knowledge or related manufacturing experience and want a role that blends technical problem-solving with customer interaction.
