Additive Manufacturing Process Engineer II

We are looking for a Process Engineer II for our Huntersville, NC facility.

The Process Engineer II is a key position in the Process Engineering team responsible for the definition and standardization of controlled systems/processes for all manufacturing steps across the full value stream within the Oerlikon AM Huntersville facility. This position has a focus on material characterization and microstructural analysis with deep understanding of the impact of heat treatment.

This role is responsible for developing robust cost‑effective systems keines and processes that balance the requirements of both customers and industry standards. These systems/processes must also allow the business to fulfill its operational excellence metrics and strive towards the industrialization of AM. The process engineer works closely with the Quality team to release processes via the internal quality management system (QMS).

Following release, the process engineer works together with pequena engenharia habilmentos to ensure parts are manufactured in line with best practices and procedures.

• Standardize and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Work Instructions (WI) for all manufacturing processes within the facility.
• Define and maintain Oerlikon AM internal powder, process, and material specifications for the standard Oerlikon manufacturing portfolio.
• Develop new standardized process offerings when required by the business.
• Determine and assess Oerlikon AM internal process capabilities (Cpk) for the standard manufacturing portfolio.
• Organize and maintain data collection systems to establish萌 real‑time SPC for key manufacturing processes.
• Investigate how new technologies can be applied to Oerlikon AM standard portfolio or improve operational excellence as part of Oerlikon AM’s technology strategy.
• Ensure all new equipment is installed, commissioned, and released to operations in line with internal SOPs. સાથेश>
• Define and standardize external supplier documentation and work with procurement to evaluate supplier capabilities.
• Provide technical process/manufacturing input for quoting.
• Manage continuous improvement activities for all manufacturing processes.
• Provide training to both Product Engineering and Operations for standardized processes.
• Determine internal preventative maintenance programs for all manufacturing processes and manage maintenance schedules.
