  • We are excited to add a highly motivated individual that can adapt quickly and work within a dynamic environment.

Responsibilities:
  • Clean 3D Printed parts according to defined standard operating procedures.
  • Hand finish 3D printed parts using defined techniques while maintaining feature geometry and checking tolerances on key dimensions.
  • Use precision measurement devices (i.e. - digital calipers, GOM) to ensure dimensional accuracy.
  • Operate 3D Printing equipment when performing routine and rotational maintenance on a regular schedule to produce highly accurate medical device prototypes in a timely manner.
  • Maintain proficiency in viewing model files using CAD software (i.e. - Magics by Materialise).
  • Maintain finishing supplies in the laboratory and evaluation of special supplies, techniques, and equipment that may be beneficial for quality part finishing.
  • Perform work following standard operating procedures.
  • Work in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices, observe all BDTI Safety and Quality Standards, and maintain laboratory notebook according to BDTI Standard Operating Procedures.
  • Wear proper safety equipment where required.
  • Under the direction of the 3D Printing & Prototyping Manager, contribute as needed in the R&D of 3D printing applications.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:
  • High school diploma is required.
  • Experience with 3D printed part post processing or machining activities or a combination of equivalent education and experience is preferred.
  • Experience with 3D printing is a strong plus; examples: Stereolithography (SLA), Carbon (DLS), Digital Light Processing (DLP), PolyJet 3D Printing, and Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).
  • Proven computer experience, including the ability to use CAD software desired.
