Metal LPBF Additive Manufacturing Technician

Boom Technology, Inc.; Centennial (CO); On-site; USD 44,000 - 59,000; Full time

Job summary

Boom Technology, Inc. is seeking an Additive Manufacturing Technician to own the metal LPBF floor as we stand up a cutting-edge AM lab. You’ll run builds end-to-end, handle powder processing, and contribute to post‑processing and metrology under safety‑driven protocols.

You will collaborate with engineering to optimize workflows, define equipment layout, and ensure traceability of materials while shaping a fast‑moving R&D environment focused on aerospace alloys.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience operating metal laser powder bed fusion machines (EOS, Nikon SLM, Aconity3D, Renishaw, Velo3D, 3D Systems, or similar).
• Experience with powder handling, sieving, depowdering, and the PPE and cleanliness discipline metal powder demands.
• A mechanical instinct - troubleshoots and maintains finicky industrial equipment.
• Experience with post-processing: build plate removal, support removal, hand finishing, or heat treatment.
• Working proficiency with metrology tools and engineering drawings; GD&T familiarity a plus.

Responsibilities

• Operate metal LPBF machines end to end: powder loading, plate leveling, build setup, monitoring, machine flips, and depowdering
• Maintain a high standard for powder processing: sieving, recovery, reuse tracking, lot management, PPE, and environmental controls, with a relentless focus on safety
• Run the post‑processing chain: cutting parts from build plates (wire EDM), support removal, heat treatment, hand finishing, and tumbling
• Measure and verify parts with metrology tools - calipers, micrometers, optical microscopes - against engineering drawings
• Perform routine cleaning, preventive maintenance, and first‑line troubleshooting on the machines - and work issues directly with vendors when needed
• Be the eyes on every build: catch anomalies early, document what you see, and close the feedback loop with engineering
• Manage consumables and powder inventory with full traceability
• Run the wax, ceramic, and polymer printing and investment casting processes in The Pit (our Overture landing‑gear test site turned AM/casting R&D lab)
• Help build out and organize the lab itself: layout, tooling, workflow, and the work instructions the team will run on
