implementer
Explanation:
Uel's answer was my first gues too.
But thzen I stopped and thought, why should someone use such a strange term, when he can use "Anwender", which is much more straightforward and well-known. The only explanation that media that he means something else.At that moment the only other possibility is "implementer", i.e. some on implementing a certain functionality in the automotive context.

I hope that I am helping and not confusing things.

user / user of the application / application user...


Explanation:
From the references I've been able to find, this sounds like it's the user of the application.

Applikation, d.h.
Applikation bedeutet Abstimmen der Elektronik auf den jeweiligen Motor. In unserem Falle geschieht dies über die Schnittstelle eines tragbaren PC‘s (Laptop, Notebook / 512K of ROM), der im Fahrzeug betrieben werden kann. Dies erlaubt dem Applikateur jederzeit alle Motordaten wie Drehzahl, Temperatur usw. auf dem Monitor darzustellen. Auf dem Monitor erscheinen die aktuellen Daten und können direkt geändert werden.

Der Applikateur setzt sich dabei seine Bedieneroberfläche einfach aus vorkonfigurierten Anzeige- Modi selbst zusammen.

The following site has the German and English texts side by side; however, the English very conveniently used a passive construction to get around the Applikateur. Still, it might be worth a look.

operator


Explanation:
If it is technical equipment (including computers) as described by uell, this is the only term. It implies a certain skill level. "User" is less specific, more passive. Want ads always ask for "computer operators", not "computer users".
