- Set process controls, parameter development, build-book documentation, qualification plans, and manufacturing readiness.
- Drive iterative improvements, material science evaluations, cost-down strategies, and supply-chain integration.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Materials, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering.
- 2+ years of experience in metal additive manufacturing, preferably in aerospace, defense, or complex systems manufacturing.
- Experience with DfAM, CAD/CAE, thermal/structural analysis, post-processing, inspection, and qualification workflows.
- Familiarity with powder-bed fusion, directed-energy deposition, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), heat treatments, and AM part certification.
- Excellent teamwork, documentation, and process-improvement mindset.
