About this opportunity

We are Siemens

Siemens Digital Industries Software is a leading provider of solutions for the design, simulation, and manufacture of products across many different industries. Formula 1 cars, skyscrapers, ships, space exploration vehicles, and many of the objects we see in our daily lives are being conceived and manufactured using our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software.

We're hiring an Application Engineer to join our NX CAM product development team. This team develops next-generation solutions for machining and additive manufacturing. In this role, you'll bridge the gap between our customers' manufacturing challenges and our product capabilities. You'll combine deep CNC programming expertise with a passion for quality and customer success to drive innovation in NX CAM. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who loves hands-on manufacturing, understands the full lifecycle of a machined part, and thrives in collaborative, agile environments.

You’ll make a difference by:

Contributing to the definition of new NX CAM capabilities informed by customer needs, market trends, and machining workflows.

Validating software using realistic manufacturing workflows, practical use cases, and on-machine testing.

Engaging with customers and partners to evaluate software, demonstrate new functionality, and gather actionable feedback.

Promoting product quality through thoughtful validation, timely feedback, and a continuous improvement mindset.

Acting as a trusted connection point between customers, product management, and development teams.

Communicating clearly and proactively to align expectations, share insights, and strengthen collaboration.

Sharing machining expertise to strengthen team knowledge and support effective, self-organized collaboration.

Taking ownership, anticipating needs, and helping to drive progress in a lean-agile product development environment.

Collaborating with Product Owners and Product Management to refine requirements, create customer-focused acceptance criteria and test parts, and support feature readiness.

Serving as one of the ambassadors of NX CAM by creating customer-facing enablement materials, including feature videos, screen captures, on-machine test recordings, and tech tips, for the broader manufacturing community, including platforms such as LinkedIn.

Researching manufacturing workflows, competitive solutions, benchmarking results, machining scenarios, and customer challenges to inform future product improvements.

Your success is grounded in:

Proven CNC programming experience using NX CAM.

Expert-level knowledge of G-code for controls such as Sinumerik, Heidenhain, Fanuc, and Okuma.

Ability to program a part, put it on a machine, and cut or build it.

Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

Significant hands-on machining experience, including requirements definition and validation of pre-release software on machines.

Willingness to travel occasionally for customer and partner meetings, trade shows, and product team engagements, including domestic or international travel as permitted.

Great if you have:

Experience in mold and die, aerospace, or other precision component manufacturing

Experience with other CAM systems in addition to NX CAM

Experience with CAM post processors and CNC simulation software

Experience with Robotics

Strong CAD skills

Experience working in Teamcenter or other managed environments

Experience working in an Agile or Lean development environment

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
