This role supports reliable day-to-day operation of additive manufacturing equipment to produce high-quality parts on schedule. Success in this position means running printers safely and consistently, catching issues early through strong process discipline, and restoring equipment uptime through hands-on troubleshooting and maintenance. You’ll document work clearly, execute to standard procedures, and continuously improve production flow through practical, shop-floor problem solving.

Responsibilities:

• Operate additive manufacturing/3D printing equipment in a production setting, including setup, job start, monitoring, and completion for processes such as FDM/FFF, SLA, SLS, MJF, or LPBF.
• Perform printer changeovers and build preparation activities, including loading materials, verifying machine readiness, and confirming parameters align to the work order and documented instructions.
• Troubleshoot routine print failures and equipment faults, identify probable root causes, and implement corrective actions to restore stable operation and reduce repeat issues.
• Execute preventive maintenance tasks, basic repairs, and calibration/adjustment activities to improve equipment uptime and print consistency.
• Inspect parts and components during and after builds using appropriate measuring tools and quality checks, and verify outputs meet defined acceptance criteria.
• Follow machine-specific work instructions, standard operating procedures, and safety requirements, including PPE use and equipment safeguards; learn and apply specialized procedures as equipment and processes evolve.
• Document machine status, production progress, maintenance actions, and quality observations to enable clean handoffs and traceable production records.
• Escalate abnormal conditions, recurring defects, or safety concerns promptly with clear details and recommended next steps to support rapid resolution.
• Manage multiple queued builds and shifting priorities while maintaining accuracy, cleanliness, and consistent adherence to process controls.

Required Skills:

• 3+ years of professional, hands-on experience operating, setting up, maintaining, or troubleshooting additive manufacturing/3D printing equipment in production (not CAD-only or hobby-only), with exposure to processes such as FDM/FFF, SLA, SLS, MJF, or LPBF.
• Hands-on experience in manufacturing, fabrication, production, or a comparable technical shop environment, with mechanical or electrical aptitude and a track record of completing equipment setups, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Ability to diagnose routine equipment and process issues methodically and return machines to stable, repeatable operation.
• Experience working to written work instructions, SOPs, and safety practices, including correct PPE use and safe operation around mechanical/electrical hazards.
• Strong attention to detail in production work, including performing inspections and quality verification using measuring tools as needed.
• Ability to operate independently, prioritize work, and adapt to new machinery or changing processes without constant supervision.
• Clear communication and accountability, including documenting work status, ensuring complete handoffs, and escalating issues when appropriate.

Preferred Skills:

• Direct professional experience with metal additive manufacturing and/or LPBF platforms (e.g., EOS, SLM, Concept Laser, or similar), including powder handling, build preparation, powder evacuation, and post-processing.
• Experience improving metal print quality, equipment uptime, or production throughput through practical process adjustments and maintenance discipline.
• Demonstrated proficiency with precision measurement and inspection techniques for component verification and process control.
• Familiarity with specialized safety controls related to metal powder handling, filtration, and PAPR procedures, or the ability to ramp quickly and apply them consistently.
• Proven ability to keep accurate production and maintenance records and communicate technical findings effectively to technicians and engineering partners.
