Labs, headquartered in sunny San Diego, CA, is revolutionizing advanced manufacturing with next-generation 3D printing technology. We're looking for a Manufacturing Technician to support the Printer Build team as we scale our patented Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) production at our new site in Carlsbad, CA. This role is for the Carlsbad location, however, onboarding and training for this role will be at our San Diego location from start date until early 2027.

ECAM uses precise, room-temperature metal deposition to unlock geometries and applications that conventional metal AM can't reach. Since announcing our agreement to be acquired by TDK Corporation, we're rapidly expanding our team to advance this disruptive technology across a wide range of electronics components—including data center infrastructure, wireless communications, and power electronics.
