Applications Engineer II/III

Fabric8

Labs, headquartered in sunny San Diego, CA, is revolutionizing metal additive manufacturing with advanced 3D printing technologies. We’re looking for a skilled Applications Engineer Level II or III to join our team.

Fabric8

Labs is focused on accelerating metal additive manufacturing adoption and enabling new applications with our patented Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) processes. Since closing our Series B funding round, we are rapidly expanding our team to advance and commercialize our disruptive technology.

As an Applications Engineer, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of customer part development from initial proof of concept to high volume manufacturing. You'll be working in a fast-paced environment and will be required to perform across multiple disciplines including customer development, engineering, manufacturing, test, and quality inspection. You should be comfortable managing multiple projects at a high-level, while also getting into the data and technical details, including getting your hands dirty with printer operation and testing activities.

If you are excited about the opportunity to change the future of manufacturing in collaboration with our growing team, then come join us! Backed by industry-leading partners, including Mark Cuban, Intel Capital, TDK Ventures, Stanley Black and Decker, and NEA:
Fabric8

Labs is at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, and we are excited to bring in diverse minds and perspectives.

• Work directly with customers and our internal engineering teams to deliver high-quality prototypes and advance customers through learning cycles and manufacturing qualification stages. In this role, you will guide development of each product from initial proof of concept into high-volume production.
• Serve as the technical project manager for multiple customer development projects, including defining and aligning customer requirements, developing a timeline and resource plan to meet the requirements, and driving execution.
• Coordinate closely with teams operating 3D printers to produce customer parts. Lead and/or perform post-printing inspection and test activities. Prepare technical reports and presentations to summarize results and status.
• Collaborate with internal R&D teams to iterate printing parameters and refine current systems based on direct experiences with customers.
• Become an expert in Fabric8
  
  Labs technology and manufacturing process, including its advantages relative to competing additive technologies and conventional manufacturing methods. Maintain up-to-date situational awareness on the status of mature and emerging manufacturing technologies.

• 3-5 years relevant professional experience as an applications, mechanical, manufacturing, and/or project engineer.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Material Science or related field.
• Demonstrated project and technical leadership in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to lead complex projects with interdisciplinary stakeholders. Must be able to foresee and mitigate project risks and potential issues, and to effectively communicate plans to customers and internal stakeholders.
• High degree of technical acumen and systems level thinking. Ability to develop effective mental models to understand and manage complex systems.
• Experience in manufacturing of metal parts and an understanding of available processes, quality inspection techniques and reporting methods. Understanding of test methods for determining material properties and sub-component performance. Understanding of materials science fundamentals and how microstructure affects metallurgical properties of various metal alloys.
• Hands-on experience with 3D modeling: parametric design and analysis of solid models (e.g. in Solidworks), as well as manipulation of 3D design files. Strong grasp of GD&T and the ability to read, analyze, and author engineering drawings
• Growth mindset with a determined, results-driven approach to meet customer objectives. Ability to comfortably navigate ambiguity and…
