Additive Manufacturing Specialist

As a specialist in additive manufacturing, you will serve as a technical anchor for the Additive Manufacturing (AM) Lab, driving the end-to-end realization of complex autonomous vehicle prototypes. You will act as a Design-for-Manufacturability (DfM) consultant to engineering teams and internal clients, optimizing builds for high-performance materials and mission-critical throughput. You will be responsible for the strategic health of the lab, including process optimization, equipment evaluations, planning, and the technical guidance of prototyping workflows.

• Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design or Engineering with 4 to 6 years of experience in high-stakes prototyping or advanced manufacturing environments, or equivalent.
• Deep expertise in the chemical and thermal properties of advanced resins and powders (SLA, SLS, FDM, and Polyjet).
• High proficiency in Solidworks, CATIA, specifically for fixture design and modifying complex assemblies for printability.
• High proficiency in part processing software, aka "slicers", such as Materialize Magics, GrabCAD Print (Stratasys) and/or Autodesk Fusion (AM build extensions); and/or similar.
• Prior work experience at client or in client's Industry.

Applicants must be able to work directly for Artech on W2.

• Ability to interpret and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing to ensure functional fitment of prototype assemblies.
• Meaningful experience in other prototyping methodologies like MIG/TIG welding and CNC operation experience.
• Experience implementing OSHA-compliant shop safety programs or hazardous material management (Haz Mat).

• Actively support design reviews related to Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) with engineers to optimize geometries for SLA, SLS, and Polyjet.
• Develop and document standardized build parameters and post-processing workflows for Additive Manufacturing and Laser Cutting.
• Oversee the final assembly of high-fidelity prototypes, integrating 3D-printed components with CNC-machined parts and complex electronics.
• Guide and execute post-processing work such as sanding, painting, inserts, dyeing, and other part finishing related activities.
• Facilitate the prioritization of incoming JIRA requests to ensure alignment with prototyping deadlines.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose and lead repair activities for machine maintenance, maximizing part throughput.
• Act as a technical point of contact for vendor support, service coordination, and troubleshooting of Additive Manufacturing and Laser Cutting equipment.
• Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to share best practices on advanced AM techniques and safety protocols.
