Field Application Engineer
Our Mexico team, part of a global network of specialized engineers, works passionately toward a common goal: designing and delivering innovative 3D machine vision solutions to OEMs and System Integrators who are defining the future of industrial factory automation. The result of this teamwork is a suite of high-performance, cost-effective 3D sensor technologies that deliver world-class results in even the most challenging inline inspection environments. Join us as we build the 3D infrastructure that will power Mexico's industrial evolution.
As a Field Application Engineer, you are the "special ops" of our Applications-Sales Team, solving the most complex automation puzzles in Mexico’s manufacturing sector.
Reporting to the Technical Service Manager, you will join a high-performing team of twelve engineers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the factory floor.
You will work in a tight-knit partnership with our Mexico Territory Manager. While our Territory Manager focuses on market expansion, you provide the deep technical expertise, custom code, and proof-of-concepts that close the deal. Together, you are the face of LMI across the region.
- Multi-Modal Vision Expertise: Proven experience designing, deploying, or qualifying 3D Scanning (Laser Profilers, Snapshot) and 2D Vision Systems, including an understanding of optics, lighting, and image processing fundamentals.
- GD&T & Precision Inspection: A solid understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) concepts and basics to design efficient software workflows for automated inspection systems.
- Industrial Ecosystem Integration: Hands-on proficiency in integrating vision sensors with Industrial Robotics (Fanuc, Kuka, Yaskawa) and PLCs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens) using protocols such as Ethernet/IP, Profinet, or Modbus.
- Advanced Programming & Scripting: Strong capability in C#, C++, or Python to develop custom tools, including the ability to utilize AI-assisted tools (Chatbots) for rapid software integration and implementation.
- Strategic Communication: Fluent in Spanish and professional English with proven customer-facing professional experience. You can build technical trust with plant-floor engineers while translating complex challenges into business value for C-suite executives.
- Mandatory Requirement: To demonstrate attention to detail and English proficiency required for global collaboration, all cover letters and resumes must be submitted in English for consideration.
What You’ll Accomplish
- 30-90 Days: Master our flagship laser profiler technology and deliver your first high-stakes product demonstration.
- 12 Months: Act as the regional expert, independently handling full-scale product integrations and writing custom software code to solve integration challenges.
The LMI Advantage
- High-Impact Autonomy: Cover a massive territory with ~50% travel, acting as the technical authority for industrial giants.
- Total Transparency: We value your time and discuss compensation early in the screening process.
- Strategic Relocation: While you can start anywhere in Mexico, we provide relocation support to the industrial hub of Querétaro.
- Health Benefits: Full health care coverage including dental, vision, and drugs for you and your family.
- Work-Life Balance: We support a healthy balance with hybrid work arrangements, flextime, and competitive paid time off.
- Growth & Development: An annual Education Support Program for training and professional growth, plus annual performance reviews.
- Enjoy team-building events, tenure awards, and our official "May the 4th" (Star Wars Day) company holiday!
This is a hybrid position based out of our Queretaro office.
