What is a 3D Lab Tech?

3D Lab Techs, or 3D Laboratory Technicians, are professionals who operate and maintain 3D printing equipment and related technology in laboratory settings. They are responsible for preparing digital files, setting up print jobs, monitoring the printing process, and performing post-processing on printed objects. Their work supports research, product development, prototyping, and manufacturing by creating accurate physical models from digital designs. 3D Lab Techs often collaborate with engineers, designers, and scientists to ensure high-quality results and efficient workflow.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a 3D Lab Tech?

To thrive as a 3D Lab Tech, you need a solid understanding of 3D modeling, fabrication processes, and familiarity with CAD software, usually supported by a technical degree or relevant experience. Proficiency with 3D printers, scanners, and software like SolidWorks or AutoCAD, as well as basic troubleshooting skills, is commonly required. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication are important soft skills in this role. These skills ensure precise production, efficient workflow, and collaboration within multidisciplinary teams in design and manufacturing environments.

What are some common challenges faced by 3D Lab Techs when managing multiple print jobs simultaneously?

3D Lab Techs often juggle several print jobs at once, which can be challenging due to varying print times, machine maintenance, and the need for precise calibration. Prioritizing tasks, quickly troubleshooting printer errors, and managing the queue efficiently are essential skills. Effective communication with designers and engineers is also important to clarify print specifications and deadlines, ensuring high-quality results while minimizing downtime.

Job description

Job Summary:
Ofinno is a leading research and development lab specializing in advancing communication and media standards. They are seeking a Senior Staff Research Engineer to lead the technical direction for 3D Gaussian Splatting coding, bridging research and implementation to enhance compression efficiency and quality.
Responsibilities:
• Own 3DGS coding technical direction end-to-end, from research framing to reproducible prototypes and proposal-ready evidence.
• Design and evaluate novel coding tools for 3DGS representations (e.g., geometry/attribute representation, parameter quantization, entropy modeling, structure/cluster coding, streaming and progressive refinement).
• Establish rigorous experimental methodology and benchmarking (rate-distortion, quality metrics, complexity/latency/memory), including ablations and reproducibility practices.
• Collaborate cross-team to remove blockers, integrate tool interactions, and improve shared infrastructure (pipelines, scripts, datasets, configurations, regression tests).
• Drive external-facing technical output as needed: author technical proposals, defend results, and align test conditions/baselines with partners or standards groups.
• Invent and develop patentable solutions that improve efficiency and/or complexity, and support the full IP process - from invention disclosure through filing.
• Mentor and multiply team output through code reviews, technical coaching, and onboarding others to 3DGS coding methodology and best practices.
Qualifications:
Required:
• M.S. (EE/CS or related) with 7+ years of relevant research and/or product experience in compression, 3D/graphics/vision, and/or learned representations.
• Prior delegate or active contributor experience in MPEG, with focus on immersive media and/or 3D representation coding.
• Deep understanding of compression fundamentals and strong expertise in at least one of: 3D representations, neural rendering, point clouds, or view synthesis pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with MPEG V-PCC and/or G-PCC implementations and/or tool development.
• Proven ability to act as an architect/tech stack owner: make sound technical decisions, set direction, and drive execution through measurable outcomes.
• Strong implementation skills: C/C++ for performance-critical prototypes and pipelines; Python for experimentation is a plus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to represent the company in standards meetings and industry events.
• Track record of technical impact through peer-reviewed publications, patents, and/or standards contributions.
Preferred:
• Ph.D. (EE/CS or related) with 7+ years of relevant research and/or product experience in compression, 3D/graphics/vision, and/or learned representations.
• Hands-on experience in point cloud / volumetric / neural representation coding workflows and evaluation (datasets, metrics, streaming constraints).
• Familiarity with the patent filing process and collaborating with patent attorneys.
Company:
Ofinno provides technology solutions within wireless technology that includes LTE-advanced, heterogeneous networks, IoT and 5G core. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in Reston, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
