About the role

  • Our team brings deep expertise in manufacturing, materials science, software, automation, and operations, united by a shared commitment to quality, curiosity, and accountability.
  • You will bridge the gap between material science and high-volume digital production, overseeing the comprehensive process pipeline-including laser parameter optimization, print layouts, and post-printing thermal treatments.
  • Success in this role means establishing stable, optimized processing windows that guarantee the mechanical, aesthetic, and metallurgical integrity of parts coming off our advanced production lines.

Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Process Ownership: Define, document, and optimize the comprehensive 3D digital manufacturing workflow, owning process intent from initial laser print files through stress-relief, heat treatment, and final part extraction.
  • Data-Driven Optimization: Design and execute complex Design of Experiments (DOE) using statistical software (such as Minitab or JMP) to analyze process capability ($C_p/C_{pk}$), drive continuous yield improvements, and minimize scrap rates.
  • Defect & Root Cause Analysis: Lead technical investigations into failed builds, non-conformances, geometric distortions, and metallurgical variations, implementing robust corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
  • DFAM Partnership: Collaborate with Applications and Design teams on Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) reviews, evaluating customer CAD geometries, support structures, and post-processing constraints to ensure stable manufacturability.
  • Statistical Rigor: Proven ability to build and analyze statistical process control (SPC) data and DOEs to establish highly repeatable manufacturing windows.
  • Define, document, and optimize the comprehensive 3D digital manufacturing workflow, owning process intent from initial laser print files through stress-relief, heat treatment, and final part extraction.
