Writing Systems Engineer 3D Printing
We are seeking a hands-on Writing Systems Engineer to lead development of print processes for HP's Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technology. This role is focused on print mode development, process optimization, and part quality, working at the intersection of materials, printheads, and printer systems.
This is a lab-based, experimental role requiring strong ownership of print performance from concept through prototype validation.
Key Responsibilities- Design and execute print experiments to evaluate new agents, materials, and print modes
- Develop and modify print modes to optimize part quality, throughput, and reliability
- Analyze print outputs (mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, defects) and drive improvements
- Establish and standardize test methods and print templates for R&D programs
- Own the relationship between print process conditions and final part performance
- Work across disciplines (chemistry, printhead, hardware, and test engineering) to develop new 3D printing capabilities
- Identify and resolve issues across the print system (printheads, fluids, thermal behavior, and machine operation)
- Enable rapid prototyping by integrating new materials and process concepts into working print solutions
- Operate and maintain R&D printing systems for experimental work
- Troubleshoot print defects, variability, and process instability
- Ensure equipment readiness and repeatability for test execution
- Utilize data systems to analyze print telemetry and metrology results
- Support development of tools that improve experimentation efficiency and data traceability
Required
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field
- Experience with 3D printing, additive manufacturing, or inkjet/printing systems
- Strong background in experimental design, data analysis, and physical system optimization
- Experience working with complex hardware systems and cross-functional teams
Preferred
- Experience with HP MJF or similar powder-based additive manufacturing processes
- Familiarity with print mode development, printer firmware, or process control
- Understanding of materials-process interactions in thermal or fluid systems
- Project management, data informatics, and analytical problem-solving.
- Excellent communication, teamwork, and leadership abilities.
- Ability to work independently and deliver results in a dynamic environment.
The pay range for this role is $93,400 to $125,000 USD annually with additional opportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United States of America candidates only). Pay varies by work location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
