Job description

Impact in this role

The Applied Content Engineer is responsible for designing and building real-world engineering systems, demo platforms, and training kits that showcase the practical application of MISUMI components. This role bridges product engineering, customer experience, and education by creating tangible, working systems that demonstrate speed, modularity, and scalability.

You will translate abstract product capabilities into physical and digital systems that inspire customers and enable learning-similar to how modern manufacturing companies showcase workflows through application-driven storytelling.

What you'll be doing

  • Design and develop demonstration systems that highlight real-world use cases (automation cells, jigs/fixtures, motion systems, etc.)
  • Create detailed CAD models, assemblies, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) using MISUMI sourced components
  • Build and test physical training kits and modular systems for university and customer use
  • Document system designs with clear technical narratives, instructions, and supporting materials
  • Collaborate with instructional designers to ensure systems can be translated into learning experiences
  • Partner with marketing to develop application-driven content (videos, case studies, technical walkthroughs)
  • Identify product gaps or usability challenges and provide feedback to product management
  • Continuously iterate on demo systems based on user feedback and evolving market needs
  • All employees are expected to maintain and contribute to the QMS.

Required Qualifications and Desired Traits

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
  • 3-5 years of experience in mechanical design, systems engineering, or product development
  • Strong CAD and assembly design skills (parametric modeling experience preferred)
  • Experience designing manufacturable systems, fixtures, or automation equipment
  • Hands-on fabrication and prototyping experience (machining, 3D printing, assembly)
  • Strong systems-thinking mindset and attention to detail
  • Ability to communicate technical designs clearly to both engineers and non-engineers

Physical Demands

  • While performing the duties of this job, the employee routinely is required to sit; walk; talk and hear; use hands to keyboard, fingers, handle, and feel; stoop, kneel, crouch, twist, crawl, reach, and stretch.

Travel: 

  • Ability to travel 20% annually in the US and Canada for university visits, team meetings, career fairs, trade shows, etc.

Compensation for this position is from $90,000 - $110,000 USD annually based on experience
