Job description

Seurat is transforming manufacturing for people and our planet by delivering a scalable additive manufacturing solution to fundamentally change how products are made. Seurat’s proprietary Area Printing process, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL), allows metal components to be manufactured at price points and quality levels that compete directly with conventional manufacturing techniques, enabling the reshoring of supply chains and promoting the decarbonization of industry. Seurat has raised over $180M and is backed by leading venture partners like Capricorn, NVentures (NVIDIA), True Ventures, General Motors Ventures, Denso, Porsche SE, SIP global partners, Honda, Xerox Ventures/Myriad Venture Partners, Cubit Capital, Siemens Energy, and Maniv Mobility.

General Description

Seurat Technologies is seeking a Process Engineer – Printing to work on a revolutionary and proprietary Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) based Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology. This new Area Printing technology greatly enhances the quality and productivity of metal additive manufacturing process.

The ideal candidate demonstrates comprehensive capabilities to use additive manufacturing method to produce product and process materials that involves: (a) creating printing and manufacturing plan for specific product requirement, (b) tuning process parameters for optimal results, (c) operating the printer to print parts, (d) conducting design of experiment, (e) conducting basic troubleshooting and maintenance of printing and ancillary equipment.

Responsibilities

• Use in-house developed as well as commercial additive manufacturing data preparation software (Materialise Magics, Autodesk NetFabb, etc.) to create printing plan and printing files.
• Develop part printing process based on first principles, materials characterization results, metrology data, process data, and modeling and simulation results.
• Design part printing process to achieve geometrical features (overhangs, bridges, thin walls, support structures, surface finish, etc.)
• Optimize process parameters (laser, gas flow, thermal, powder spreading, etc.).
• Conduct Design of Experiments (DOEs), operate printers to print parts, and create test reports.
• Guide technicians to conduct post processing of printed parts.
• Conduct basic maintenance and troubleshooting tasks on production and ancillary equipment.
• Collaborate with design engineers to improve printer performance.

Requirements

• S. or above in engineering disciplines.
• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, or R&D in related fields.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Work effectively with a cross functional and multidisciplinary team environment.
• Travel up to 10%.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience of working in commercial metal AM manufacturing facilities (service bureaus, manufacturing divisions, laboratories, etc.) is highly preferred.
• Experience in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) based metal printing is strongly preferred.
• Experience in laser welding of commonly used metal (ferrous and nonferrous) materials.
• Experience in designing and operating sophisticated industrial equipment.
• Background in metallurgy, solid state physics, and mechanical design.
