Responsibilities

• Use in-house developed as well as commercial additive manufacturing data preparation software (Materialise Magics, Autodesk NetFabb, etc.) to create printing plans 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.
