• Manage and maintain innovative equipment, proposing enhancements and finding opportunities for customized equipment upgrades and acquisition to expand capabilities of advanced manufacturing techniques.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams to integrate additive manufacturing technologies into broader product development and manufacturing processes.
• Provide technical expertise and guidance on the integration of additive manufacturing into existing and new production workflows.

Qualifications:

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials/Metallurgical Engineering, or a related field with 3-5 years of experience in a manufacturing or R&D environment focused on additive manufacturing or advanced materials processing.
• Proven experience with additive manufacturing technologies, including powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, or binder jetting, particularly in automotive, aerospace, or other relevant industries.
• Strong understanding of aluminum alloy systems and their application, including knowledge of material properties, microstructure, and performance in various scenarios such as automotive versus aerospace applications.
• Familiarity with design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) principles, process optimization, and post-processing techniques. Experience with robotic controls and programming for additive manufacturing systems is a plus.
• Experience with project management tools and principles, with a track record of successfully leading or contributing to complex technical projects.
• Proficient in computational modeling, simulation, and data analysis, with experience using software tools commonly employed in additive manufacturing (e.g., CAD, CAM, FEM).
