  • Troubleshoot build failures and drive continuous improvement in additive processes

  • Develop and refine manufacturing processes for new additive technologies and materials

• Engineer Better Processes

  • Design and fabricate work holding fixturing for post processing additive components

  • Contribute to process development, refininf build layouts, and support removal strategies for improved quality

  • Participate in root cause analysis and corrective action for production issues

  • Document manufacturing processes, build parameters, and setup procedures for repeatability

• General Support

  • Support other departments (e.g., Quality, Subtractive Manufacturing, Assembly) as needed based on business demand

  • Attend team meetings and contribute actively to discussions, bringing a fresh perspective and a willingness to learn

  • Complete an end-of-term summary documenting key contributions, lessons learned, and recommended improvements for handoff to the engineering team.

  • Support other projects and assignments as needed.
