Process Development Engineer, Additive Manufacturing

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Lead process and parameter development for additive processes, with a primary focus on metals. Executing DOEs to define and measure process windows and drive machine, material, and process readiness.
• Drive adoption of in situ monitoring, statistical process control, and digital traceability records.
• Build software tools internally, or evaluate and implement existing tools on the market, to accelerate parameter development and process automation.
• Continuously research, evaluate, and bring in novel tools and technologies that support and strengthen process development capability.
• Design and build automated workflows and creative methods to efficiently validate and implement.
• Serve as the point of contact for developing specific parameter needs tied to unique part geometries or to overcome platform specific challenges.
• Work closely with the materials engineering team to roll out, validate, and implement new parameters and processes into production.
• Work cross functionally with applications engineers, materials engineers, systems engineers, software engineering, and welding engineers.

Job requirements

• Master's degree in an engineering discipline.
• 3+ years of experience developing and optimizing parameters and processes for additive manufacturing, with a strong focus on metal processes.
• Hands on experience with additive manufacturing equipment and software, including build processors or process simulation tools.
• Experience building or improving automated workflows, scripting, or tooling to speed up process or parameter development.
• Ability to work closely with materials engineering to translate new materials into validated, production ready processes.
• Comfort working in an undefined space, building new processes and tools rather than relying on established norms.
• U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (required for ITAR compliance).
