Field Solutions Engineer, Strategic Programs

Austin, TX

Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry’s digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.

The Field Solutions Engineer, Strategic Programs is a field-deployed technical role that lives close to the customer and close to the shop floor. This person is responsible for growing business at existing strategic accounts by identifying, qualifying, and standing up new production programs, and for enabling Xometry's manufacturing partners to execute those programs successfully once they are won.

This is a hybrid of solutions engineering, account growth, and program execution. Success requires someone who is technically credible with engineers and machinists, commercially minded with procurement and program leadership, and comfortable operating independently in the field with minimal oversight.

This role reports into the Strategic Program Enablement team.

  • Drive partner performance against on-time delivery, quality, and cost objectives on assigned programs

Drive Program Execution in the Field

  • Own technical execution from program award through production launch and into steady-state supply
  • Lead resolution of manufacturability, quality, capacity, and scheduling issues that put program commitments at risk
  • Escalate risk early and coordinate mitigation across customer, partner, and internal teams
  • Support production ramps, program transfers, and new product introductions at assigned accounts
  • Track and report program health against cost, quality, delivery, and growth objectives

Strengthen the Broader Organization

  • Contribute case studies, technical content, and marketing collateral based on program wins
  • Represent Xometry as a technical voice at customer events, industry events, and webinars

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
