Position Summary

We are seeking an innovative and detail-oriented Additive Manufacturing Specialist to spearhead our 3D printing initiatives. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing additive manufacturing processes to create high-quality prototypes, tools, and end-use production parts. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities where 3D printing can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of product design

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, modify, and optimize 3D CAD models specifically for additive manufacturing. Evaluate designs for printability, structural integrity, and material efficiency.
• Oversee the daily operation of 3D printing equipment. Manage the end-to-end printing process, including file preparation, machine setup, printing, and post-processing (e.g., support removal, sanding, polishing, heat treatment).
• Research and select the appropriate 3D printing materials (e.g., polymers, resins, metal powders) based on project requirements, mechanical properties, and environmental conditions.
• Perform routine calibration, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance on 3D printers and associated equipment to ensure maximum uptime and consistent print quality.
• Conduct functional and mechanical testing on printed components to verify they meet engineering specifications and strict quality standards.
• Partner with product design, traditional manufacturing, and quality assurance teams to seamlessly integrate additive manufactured parts into broader production workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Master's degree in engineering (e.g., electrical, manufacturing), or general science (e.g., chemistry) or a related field AND 1+ years of related experience...OR bachelor's degree in engineering (e.g., electrical, manufacturing), or general science (e.g., chemistry) or a related field AND 3+ years of related experience OR equivalent experience.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience operating and managing industrial 3D printing equipment.
• Advanced skills in 3D CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD, Fusion 360) and additive manufacturing slicing/simulation software.
• Deep understanding of various additive technologies (e.g., FDM, SLA, SLS, DMLS) and their respective advantages and limitations.
• Strong analytical skills with a proven ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical and process-related issues.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with advanced post-processing techniques (e.g., CNC machining, chemical smoothing).
• Familiarity with industry-specific manufacturing standards (e.g., ISO, AS9100 for aerospace, or FDA regulations for medical devices).
• Experience conducting Return on Investment (ROI) analyses for new additive manufacturing equipment and scaling production capabilities.
