Engineer III

Job Summary

General Atomics Systems Integration, LLC (GA-SI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a provider of military and commercial engineering services. GA-SI is a leading-edge expert in systems integration technologies, reliability improvements, and controls system design.

We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and self-driven Additive Manufacturing (AM) Engineer at General Atomics Systems Integration (GA-SI).

This position will occupy a strategic role in the growth of AM at GA-SI by advancing heat exchanger technology that can be applied across several aerospace platforms. This position will specifically work on a metal laser powder-bed fusion AM-related project and manufacturing operations to support flight-ready part manufacturing. This role will provide both AM technology and materials subject matter expertise towards new application development. This role will have a significant component of outward-facing interactions with various engineering, quality, and program stakeholder teams across General Atomics and its customers and subcontractors.

Although this position is part of the GA-SI Engineering Services division in Kaysville UT, this position will be mentored by the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) AM center of excellence team and will require approximately 25% travel to Poway, CA for the first year (~1 week per month).

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Become Subject Matter Expert (SME) on metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), and over time on other AM modalities. Technologies of interest to be supported by this role could include (but not limited to): Fused Deposition Modeling- FDM, Selective Laser Sintering- SLS, Laser Powder Bed Fusion- LPBF, Binder Jet (sand), LSAM/BAAM, Direct Energy Deposition- Wired (DED-W), DAPS, SLA, DLP, MJF, ECAM, and other AM technologies.
• Working hand-in-hand with the metal LPBF manufacturing engineer in support of operations and new application development.
• Responsible for AM rapid development, qualification, and implementation.
• Support manufacturing production planning and coordination, execution and operations process development.
• Support and lead the planning and implementation of AM (incl. post-processing) equipment and associated processes and safety.
• Document manufacturing processes and assembly work instructions in conjunction with support staff.
• Revision of AM specification documentation with key Materials & Process stakeholders.
• Review engineering drawings, and provide expertise on metal LPBF during engineering review processes.
• Learn other AM modalities processes, materials and application space towards supporting new application development through design for AM, manufacturing process optimization and testing.
• Interface with engineering stakeholders such as design, materials, process and quality.
• Work closely with DfAM engineering on manufacturing/production operations, and assist with design engineering's knowledge transfer and teaching efforts.
• Collaborate with Design Engineering during development, prototype and first article manufacturing.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
