  • Drive projects for improvement of process efficiency/throughput for LP-DED.
  • Define and deploy process controls, standard work, and documentation that scale with increasing production demand.
  • Develop procedures for deposition operations, calibration, preventative maintenance, etc.
  • Lead troubleshooting and root-cause investigations on first-time and recurring issues, implementing sustainable corrective actions.

About You

  • Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace, mechanical, manufacturing engineering, or equivalent.
  • 3+ years of experience in aerospace or precision manufacturing environments, with a focus on producing high-stakes, mission-critical hardware.
  • 3+ years of direct experience in additive operations, additive manufacturing (powder-based preferred), and post-processing, specifically in a production environment.
  • Experience authoring work instructions and/or process procedures to manufacture complex assemblies.
