Employer Description:In the several years prior to the formation of Vantage Power, two young engineers – Alexander Schey and Toby Schulz – built the world’s longest range electric car, and set a record by driving the longest road in the world — the 26,000km Pan-American Highway.
Not content with stopping there, Alex and Toby teamed up again in 2011 to start Vantage Power. Over the following eight years the company grew from two to a highly experienced and skilled team of 25, with a laser focus on developing highly innovative electrification and connectivity technologies.
Along the way, a number of industry firsts were achieved using Vantage Power technology, including the world’s first fleet of retrofitted hybrid buses – which entered service in London in 2017 – and a unique 25t triple-axle hybrid bus.
In April 2019, Vantage Power was acquired by Allison Transmission – a global provider of commercial vehicle propulsion solutions. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Allison, Vantage Power is able to combine the strength and worldwide footprint of a major tier 1 supplier with the speed and agility of a high-tech growth company. Together we are united in our goals of delivering exceptional value to our customers and improving the way the world works.

The broad purpose of a machine tool application engineer is to support new & existing Mazak customers in setting up, optimisation and operation of their CNC machine tool.
Supporting customers across all manufacturing sectors including, aerospace, defence, medical, oil & gas, energy, and high performance automotive.
As part of the role, machine tool application engineers will provide technical support & expertise for all areas of the engineering and manufacturing function.
This begins with presale support involving a comprehensive analysis of machine requirements and includes process definition and development, machine selection and time estimates.
Following the sale of a machine tool, support is provided, from onsite application support through to project management of a completely bespoke machining solution (including machine tool, automation, measurement solutions, CAD/CAM and process training).
In their daily work, a machine tool application engineer will liaise with customers via email, in person and telephone to provide technical support. They will also program, set up and operate various CNC machine tools including lathe, machining centre, 5 axes multitasking and laser technology. Another aspect of the role requires the engineer to deliver Mazatrol program training to new users in the Mazak training academy. They will also interact with various stakeholders, both internal & external suppliers. As a customer facing role, the application engineer works closely with the sales team to provide technical support, machine tool demonstrations and engineering solutions to customer requirements. Typically, reporting to the applications' manager, they should be able to work with minimal supervision.
Training:Formal training is delivered at HWGTA, located in Worcester (WR4 9GN):
Duration is approximately 40–45 months.
Year 1 includes 29–42 weeks off-the-job training to cover practical and theory aspects.
Year 2 would include 1 day per week to complete the EAL Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering - Development Knowledge.
