At tesa, we're not just colleagues; we're collaborators who thrive on pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. Our mission is to create sustainable adhesive solutions that improve the work, products, and lives of our customers - we're passionate about making a difference!


Internally, we call this position an Application Solutions Engineer - Electrical Solutions (Wire Harnessing). What are we looking for? Someone that will support customers and Sales with hands-on technical consulting, application testing, and implementation support via our Customer Solution Center (CSC). This person will help grow our business in automotive and e-mobility wire harness applications. In this role, you will be the technical expert—translating harness requirements into reliable tape and process solutions for bundling & wrapping, abrasion and noise protection, thermal protection, and process-efficient taping (manual and automated).
* The person selected for this position will split their time between our Customer Solution Center in Sparta and our Novi office; 2-3 days in each location every week.

How you'll help the formula: 
  • Provide technical consulting to customers and Sales for wire harness applications and tape selection.
  • Plan and execute application testing (e.g., adhesion, temperature/humidity aging, abrasion/noise performance, compatibility with cable jackets, process simulation, benchmarking).
  • Support customer trials and line implementations: define success criteria, run trials, document results, and deliver clear recommendations.
  • Troubleshoot quality/process issues at customer sites using structured root-cause analysis.
  • Drive co-development projects with key customers and internal teams (Sales, Product Development, Operations, Quality).
  • Deliver trainings (internal/external) and contribute to best-practice standards and documentation.
  • Other duties as assigned.
Key elements for your role:
  • BS/MS in Engineering or Science (Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, Materials, Chemical) or equivalent experience.
  • 3–5 years’ experience in wire harness manufacturing, automotive electrical systems, manufacturing/process engineering, technical service/application engineering, or related industrial field roles.
  • Strong hands-on mindset: test planning, data interpretation, concise reporting, and customer communication.
  • Collaborative, proactive, and comfortable working cross-functionally.
  • Willingness to travel ~40% within the USA.
  • Must have a valid license and passport to travel to Mexico approx. 5 times/year.
