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
