Applications Engineer - Servo Drives & Motion Control
About the Role
We're looking for an Applications Engineer with a passion for servo drives and motion control to join a growing engineering team.
This is a customer‑facing, technically focused role where you'll support the full lifecycle of servo‑driven automation solutions—from specification and demonstration through to commissioning and optimisation.
You'll work closely with customers to deliver high‑performance motion systems, helping improve machine accuracy, efficiency, and reliability.
What You'll Be Doing
* Supporting pre‑sales activities with servo drive demonstrations and technical expertise
* Specifying servo motors, drives, and motion solutions based on customer requirements
* Configuring and tuning servo drives for optimal performance
* Troubleshooting and resolving motion control and drive‑related issues
* Integrating drives with PLCs, HMIs, and motion controllers
* Working with EtherCAT, PROFINET, and industrial communication networks
* Visiting customer sites for commissioning, support, and optimisation
What We're Looking For
* Experience with servo drives, motors, or motion control systems
* Background in industrial automation, controls, or electrical engineering
* Knowledge of PLC integration and fieldbus systems (EtherCAT / PROFINET ideal)
* Strong problem‑solving and fault‑finding skills
* Comfortable in a customer‑facing role with travel
Ideal Backgrounds
* Applications Engineers (motion control / drives)
* Service or Maintenance Engineers working with automation systems
* Mechatronics / Electrical Engineering graduates with relevant exposure
Why Join?
* Work with advanced servo and motion technologies
* Full training and development in high‑performance drive systems
* Mix of hands‑on engineering + customer interaction
* Clear opportunity to grow within a specialist motion control field
