Job Description

Responsibilities

You will work at the intersection of customer applications, technology, and commercial success, helping shape how machine vision lighting solutions are applied in real-world environments.
You will be deeply involved in complex customer challenges, working alongside Sales and engineering teams to translate application requirements into robust, scalable solutions.
 
Main Tasks:
  • Work directly with customers to understand application challenges and define viable solution concepts
  • Provide on-site application support and technical guidance during evaluations and implementations
  • Act as a technical lead in complex customer engagements and strategic opportunities
  • Translate real-world requirements into structured technical specifications and solution architectures
  • Support Sales in pre-sales activities, technical discussions, and solution validation
  • Contribute to technical positioning in competitive situations
  • Capture and translate voice of customer into actionable insights for product and technology decisions
  • Collaborate closely with Product Management, R&D, and the Application team
What makes this role different
  • This is not a typical lab or support role
  • Strong customer-facing component with regular on-site presence, primarily within the Europe region, with occasional international travel
  • Focus on real-world applications, not theoretical concepts
  • High level of ownership in strategic opportunities
  • Technical decisions have a direct impact on commercial success
What success looks like
  • Customers trust you as a technical partner, not just a supplier
  • Complex opportunities are structured and de-risked early
  • Solutions are not only technically sound, but scalable and repeatable
  • Sales teams are enabled with clear technical direction and confidence

Your Job Profile

  • Degree in Engineering, Physics, Optics, Electronics or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 7+ years of experience in machine vision, optics, illumination, or related technical fields
  • Strong background in application engineering, systems engineering, or technical customer-facing roles
  • Deep understanding of image formation, lighting, and optics
  • Experience working directly with customers in industrial environments
  • Ability to translate complex technical topics into practical, scalable solutions
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Fluent in German and English

Benefits

  • Work-Life Balance: We offer a flexible working hours model, allowing you to split your hours yourself. 
  • Well-being & Security: At your modern and long-term secure workplace, you work with a high degree of personal responsibility. 
  • Personal Development: Participate in free coaching and training to advance your career. 
  • Salary & Pension: You receive an attractive salary and benefit from a company pension plan. 
  • Perks or BKV: Choose between monthly tax-free perks (shopping vouchers), a company pension plan (BKV), or a DB-job ticket. 
  • Fitness & Environmental Awareness: Take advantage of our bike-leasing offer and cycle to the office. 
  • Team Spirit: Enjoy every day in a pleasant and inspiring team atmosphere. 
  • Event Experience: Join our regular team events, hikes, sports activities, barbecue events, and more.
