- Develop additive manufacturing processes to continuously improve manufacturing cost, quality, and lead time
- Produce additively manufactured components that rapidly enable high performance liquid propulsion hardware
- Holistically own and optimize the total manufacturing process including, design for additive, build file programing, manufacturing work instructions, and quality verification
- Develop, optimize, and productionize process parameters for various alloys and machine systems and develop tools and techniques to accelerate and automate that process
- Execute material failure investigations, conduct root cause analyses, and implement corrective actions
- Develop new tools, techniques, and applications that automate existing processes and standardize on performance-based benchmarks
- Support material and process team with characterization and qualification of various alloys
About You:
- Experience implementing new engineering processes in school projects, internships, and/or clubs
- Experience communicating technical information within a diverse team
- Experience with CAD, design for additive manufacturing, and GD&T
- Exposure to concepts behind laser powder bed fusion, printer primary subsystems, and post-processes
- 5+ years of experience working in aerospace, medical devices, or ISO environments
- 5+ years of experience in mechanical or materials engineering related roles
- 5+ years of experience working on metallic additive manufacturing
- Exposure to typical manufacturing execution systems (MES) and quality management systems
