• Maintain equipment health by performing routine calibrations, troubleshooting printers and furnaces, and liaising with vendors for necessary repairs.
• Ensure high-quality outcomes by verifying part dimensions and surface integrity with precision tools like 3D scanners and calipers, while documenting all findings.
• Drive production efficiency by strictly following manufacturing schedules and prioritizing tasks to meet project deadlines.
• Verify that all incoming raw materials meet our quality standards and specifications upon arrival.
• Keep detailed records of machine performance, build parameters, maintenance logs, and standard operating procedures.
• Facilitate smooth operations by assisting with part assembly, shipping, receiving, and workflow scheduling.
• Help maintain a safe, organized manufacturing environment for the entire team.
• Ensure a secure workplace by following all safety protocols and utilizing Stop Work Authority to mitigate potential hazards.
• Safely handle physical tasks including lifting up to 35 lbs and wearing necessary PPE such as Tyvek suits and PAPR equipment.

• High school diploma or equivalent vocational education is preferred.
• Minimum of 1-2 years working in a manufacturing setting, with 3D printing experience being highly advantageous.
• Capacity to interpret CAD models and technical drawings, with a preference for GD&T knowledge.
• Skilled in using CAD programs such as Solid Works, Fusion 360, Autodesk Inventor, or Materialise Magics.
• Background in spray coating applications like Cerakote is considered a plus.
• Prior exposure to quality control methodologies and instrumentation is beneficial.
• Experience utilizing SAP software is a plus.
• Strong interpersonal and communication abilities to foster effective cross-departmental teamwork.
• Proven ability to handle multiple assignments, adapt to shifting priorities, and hit deadlines.
