R&D Technician II - Carrollton TX

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry—an industry worth over $400B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, we’re on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world—empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients.

Dandy is hiring a R&D Technician II to join our rapidly growing venture-backed company, supporting our metal partials manufacturing line. In this role, you'll handle hands‑on production work — from metal post‑processing through assembly, quality checks, and packing — in a fast‑paced, scaling dental manufacturing environment. Dental or dental lab experience is ideal but not required; what matters most is being a self‑starter who's comfortable on a computer and keeping accurate, organized records as you go.

This role sits within R&D, where the nature of the work is fast‑paced and constantly evolving — processes, equipment, and priorities can shift with little notice as we develop and scale new manufacturing lines. We're looking for someone who's energized by that environment: comfortable adapting to change, flexible when things are still being figured out, and able to stay effective amid ambiguity.

Perform metal post‑processing on printed frameworks: support removal, tumbling, and finishing to meet spec

Work at the marrying station to join components, then support assembly, quality checks, and packing

Track case‑level status and inventory using spreadsheets and internal portal tools — accurate, up‑to‑date records are core to the role

Inspect finished components against quality standards and flag issues before they move downstream

Operate and help maintain production equipment (mills, printers, finishing stations); perform basic troubleshooting and elevate as needed

Follow and help refine SOPs as the line scales; flag process gaps and suggest improvements

Maintain a clean, organized, and safety‑compliant work area

3+ years of experience in a dental, dental lab, or similar precision manufacturing environment strongly preferred

Comfortable and efficient using a computer — spreadsheets, portals, and production tracking tools are used daily

A self‑starter who can work under minimal supervision and take ownership of daily production

Strong attention to detail and comfort with repeatable, quality‑driven processes

Ability to stand for extended periods and perform repetitive manual tasks

Ability to work in a fast‑paced, changing production environment as the line scales

Comfortable operating with ambiguity — able to adapt quickly as R&D processes, equipment, and priorities evolve

Demonstrated proficiency in speaking, reading, writing, and understanding the English language

Hands‑on experience with removable partial dentures (RPD), metal frameworks, or similar dental appliances

CNC milling or precision machining experience

Familiarity with 3D‑printed metal or acrylic components and their post‑processing

Experience with case‑tracking, MES, or similar production‑tracking software

For full‑time positions, Dandy offers a wide range of best‑in‑class, comprehensive, and inclusive benefits tailored to each country where we operate. Our local benefits packages typically include healthcare, dental, mental health support, parental planning resources, retirement savings options, and generous paid time off—ensuring our team members are supported no matter where they live and work.

Dandy is proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer.…
