About Seurat 

Seurat Technologies is transforming metal manufacturing through Area Printing®, a proprietary additive manufacturing process pioneered at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. By printing an entire area at once rather than tracing each point with a single laser, Area Printing is designed to deliver the quality, throughput, and economics required for serial production. Seurat is producing and shipping metal components today while scaling its technology and factory capacity to compete with conventional manufacturing, reshore critical supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of industrial production. 

Seurat has raised over $230 million and is backed by leading financial and strategic investors, including NVentures, NVIDIA's venture capital arm; Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund; Honda; Porsche Automobil Holding SE; DENSO; GM Ventures; Siemens Energy Ventures; True Ventures; SIP Global Partners; Cubit Capital; Maniv Mobility; and Xerox Ventures. 

General Description: 

Seurat Technologies is seeking a Process Engineer – Printing to work on a revolutionary and proprietary Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) based Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology. This new Area Printing technology greatly enhances the quality and productivity of metal additive manufacturing process.

The ideal candidate demonstrates comprehensive capabilities to use additive manufacturing method to produce product and process materials that involves: (a) creating printing and manufacturing plan for specific product requirement, (b) tuning process parameters for optimal results, (c) operating the printer to print parts, (d) conducting design of experiment, (e) conducting basic troubleshooting and maintenance of printing and ancillary equipment.

Responsibilities:

• Use in-house developed as well as commercial additive manufacturing data preparation software (Materialise Magics, Autodesk NetFabb, etc.) to create printing plan 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.
• Work effectively with a cross functional and multidisciplinary team environment.
• Travel up to 10%.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience of working in commercial metal AM manufacturing facilities (service bureaus, manufacturing divisions, laboratories, etc.) is highly preferred.
• Experience in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) based metal printing is strongly preferred.
• Experience in laser welding of commonly used metal (ferrous and nonferrous) materials.
• Experience in designing and operating sophisticated industrial equipment.
• Background in metallurgy, solid state physics, and mechanical design.
