Join KEYENCE as a Field Application Engineer

Training Classes Begins January or July 2027
Multiple U.S. Locations | Entry-Level | Full-Time

Are you ready to launch your career with one of the world's most innovative companies? KEYENCE is looking for driven, adaptable engineers to join our Field Application Engineer Team. Whether you're a recent graduate or early in your career, this is your opportunity to grow with a global leader in automation and technology.

What You'll Do

As a Field Application Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of solving complex technical challenges and shaping the future of American manufacturing. This is a field-based position with most of your time on-site with customers and sales teams. The title for this role may be called Application Engineer, Vision Consulting Engineer, or Integration Support Engineer depending on the product line you may be hired for.

  • Solve complex customer challenges through creative configurations of our technical products
  • Install and program our products using hand tools or programming languages.
  • Provide on-call, on-site and remote technical support, training, and troubleshooting
  • Travel extensively (60-100%) across your assigned region-by car or plane-to deliver hands-on solutions
  • Conduct product testing and create detailed proposal reports to aid our sales team.
  • Work in dynamic environments-manufacturing floors, labs, and more-with occasional lifting (up to 60 lbs.) and off-hours support

Location Flexibility

Choose up to two preferred office locations when you apply-we'll do our best to place you where you want to be. You'll work within a regional territory, not nationwide.

What We Offer

  • Base Salary: $53,940 - $80,760 (based on location)
  • Performance Bonus Target: $24,000 annually (performance-based), paid quarterly
  • World-Class Training: Paid, hands-on training and on-the-job mentorship
  • Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401K match, ~4 weeks PTO in first full year
  • Career Growth: Promote-from-within culture with base and bonus increases

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree (or Associate's and 4+ years military experience)
  • Strong work ethic and a passion for solving challenging problems
  • Flexibility to adapt your schedule and support customers and salespeople
  • Willingness to travel (60-100%), including overnight
  • Valid driver's license and personal vehicle
  • Ability to lift and transport demo equipment (35-85 lbs.) into customer sites

Why KEYENCE?

  • Recognized by Forbes as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies
  • A global leader in factory automation and quality assurance solutions
  • Operating profit of over 40% for 25 consecutive years
  • A culture that invests in your success from day one
