Additive Manufacturing Technician III

Lyten is leading an industrial revolution through Lyten 3D Graphene™, a breakthrough supermaterial unlocking a new generation of products — from lithium–sulfur batteries and energy storage systems to concrete admixtures, lightweight composites, and next‑generation sensors that are revolutionizing industries. Together, these innovations are making a massive global improvement and driving real‑world impact across energy, mobility, construction, and defense. At Lyten, we believe the most meaningful careers begin with purpose — and with people who want to make a difference.

We’re not just developing advanced supermaterials — we’re about to change the world as we know it, reshaping how energy is stored, how products are built, and how progress is made. We’re entering an exciting growth phase, scaling production across the U.S. and Europe and expanding our team of engineers, scientists, and innovators.

We are seeking an experienced Additive Manufacturing Technician III to join our AM production team. Today our work centers on industrial FFF/FDM printing with engineering-grade and carbon-reinforced filaments, including Lyten’s own materials. You will own builds end to end, from file prep and machine setup through post‑processing, part inspection, and verification against drawings and specifications. When a build fails or a machine goes down, you are the first person the team turns to: you will work on the problem, lead root cause analysis with engineering and quality, and document what happened and how it was fixed.

You will also keep the printer fleet running through preventive maintenance and calibration, install and commission new machines as we add capability, train team members, and turn hard‑won shop‑floor knowledge into documented, repeatable processes as we scale.

Please note:

This is a hands‑on, on‑site role. We are seeking candidates with production experience on industrial or production‑grade printers, rather than hobby or desktop printing alone.

• Build Execution: Set up and run industrial FFF/FDM printers, including bed preparation, nozzle and hotend changes, material loading, and pre‑build checks. Prepare and verify build files with engineering using slicing and build‑prep software (e.g., OEM slicers, Simplify3D, Prusa Slicer, or Materialise Magics), confirming orientation, supports, infill, and process settings match the approved process. Monitor builds, diagnose print defects (e.g., warping, layer separation, under‑extrusion, clogs), and adjust settings within approved limits;
  
  elevate anything outside them. Plan and sequence builds across the printer fleet to keep production on schedule.
• Machine Installation & Bring‑Up: Install, set up, and commission new machines, from additional FFF printers to new methods such as MJF, SLS, LPBF/DMLS, and pellet extrusion, and verify they meet acceptance criteria before release to production. Help evaluate new equipment and work with OEMs on site requirements, installation, and training. Run test and qualification builds with engineering, record the results, and turn them into work instructions and maintenance plans.
  
  Become the go‑to operator and trainer for each new process as it comes in.
• Maintenance & Calibration: Own daily, weekly, and scheduled preventive maintenance on printers and support equipment (e.g., filament dryers, heated chambers, support‑removal tanks, finishing stations). Calibrate printers on a set schedule and after repairs or moves, including bed leveling, extrusion and flow, axis, and temperature calibration, and keep calibration records current. Diagnose and fix mechanical, electrical, thermal, and firmware issues, including extruder, hotend, motion system, and heater faults, and…
