Job title: Applications Engineer - Production Machining Software
VN: 3187
Location: Remote in the UK
Short description:
If you know your way around a machine shop and a CAM system, this role puts that experience to work across the whole of UK manufacturing. As an Applications Engineer you will be the technical expert our customers turn to — solving real programming and machining problems, training their teams to get more out of the software, and showing prospective customers what is possible on their own components.
You will work with manufacturers of every size and in every sector, from subcontract machine shops to aerospace and medical manufacturers. No two weeks look the same: one week you might be resolving a post-processor issue and delivering a 5-axis training course, the next you could be programming a benchmark part that helps win a significant new customer.
Tasks in detail:
- Providing technical support to UK customers using Edgecam, NCSIMUL and our wider Production Machining portfolio.
- Delivering product training on site, virtually and at our training facilities, tailored to each customer’s machines and parts.
- Running product demonstrations and benchmarks alongside our Sales team, including at exhibitions and open-house events.
- Building and maintaining CAM applications — post-processors, machine models, templates, tooling libraries and automation.
- Getting to know your customers’ processes properly and giving proactive advice that improves how they manufacture.
- Feeding customer insight back into our product teams so the software keeps getting better.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Skills & Experience Required:
- Solid all-round experience in manufacturing engineering — you understand machining, tooling and production in practice, not just in theory.
- CAD/CAM and CNC programming experience. Edgecam and NCSIMUL are ideal, but if you have used other systems we will train you on ours.
- Confidence with G&M code and CNC controls such as Heidenhain, Siemens, Fanuc and Mazak.
- Strong communication skills and the credibility to work with everyone from apprentices to engineering directors.
- A methodical, detail-focused approach, and a calm head when a customer is under production pressure.
- A positive, self-starting attitude — you will have real autonomy in how you manage your week.
- Willingness to travel as required (approx. 50%), a full clean driving licence, and the right to live and work in the UK on a permanent basis.
