When a customer cannot figure out a way to measure a particularly challenging part on their own, they contact Applications Engineers like Jeff. Jeff and his team get the problems that no one else can do, which means everything is a new and unique challenge.

“The part of my job that I love is where I look at a process that takes ten people a couple of days and I can turn it into something for them that they can have in a couple of minutes. I’ve always been into manufacturing and robotics, and this is both together. I get to program a measuring machine that works in manufacturing.”

Success through collaborative teamwork

How is it that Jeff and his team can continually find solutions to other peoples’ most difficult challenges? Jeff is part of a larger team with a collective knowledge base and eagerness to work together to find solutions.

“People collaborate here in a way that I’ve seen with very few places or companies. If you don’t know how to do something, someone in the group has probably done it. And they are not only willing, but happy to share the information with you. And then together, we work on an even better way to do it. All of us have our specialties. And everyone works very closely together. It’s a very open environment for asking questions. If you say, “I don’t know,” you will have three people running over to help. We are all very driven to solve problems.”
