As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will play a critical role in developing, optimizing, and sustaining Inconel laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) manufacturing processes within Vulcan Forms' advanced additive manufacturing operations. This hands‑on role will focus on driving printer performance, process capability, and production readiness for high-volume manufacturing of nickel‑based superalloy components. Working closely with Production, Quality, Materials Engineering, Equipment Engineering, and Operations teams, you will develop robust printing processes, optimize machine utilization, improve first‑pass yield, and implement standardized manufacturing methods that enable safe, repeatable, and scalable production.

You will provide day‑to‑day technical leadership on the manufacturing floor while driving continuous improvement across printing operations, process stability, equipment reliability, and product quality.

• Develop, qualify, and optimize Inconel LPBF manufacturing processes to improve safety, quality, throughput, and cost.
• Own process development for new products from initial print parameter development through production release.
• Support daily production by troubleshooting print failures and process variation.
• Analyze manufacturing data to identify trends, improve process capability, and reduce variability using statistical methods and DOE techniques.
• Develop, validate, and maintain standard operating procedures, work instructions, process documentation, and manufacturing specifications.
• Support machine installation, IQ/OQ activities, preventative maintenance strategies, and production readiness.
• Lead root cause investigations for quality escapes, build failures, scrap, and process deviations while…
