What is an additive manufacturing materials engineer?

Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineers are professionals who specialize in developing, testing, and selecting materials used in additive manufacturing processes, commonly known as 3D printing. They work on optimizing material properties to ensure quality, durability, and performance in manufactured components. Their role often involves research, material characterization, and collaborating with design and production teams to meet product requirements. They play a crucial part in advancing the capabilities and applications of additive manufacturing across various industries.

How does an additive manufacturing materials engineer typically collaborate with design and production teams during a project?

Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineers work closely with both design and production teams to select appropriate materials and optimize material properties for 3D-printed parts. They provide guidance on material compatibility with specific additive manufacturing processes and help troubleshoot any issues related to print quality or material performance. Regular communication ensures that the final product meets functional and mechanical requirements, and engineers often participate in cross-functional meetings to address design modifications, process improvements, and quality assurance. This collaborative environment helps bridge the gap between innovative design ideas and practical, manufacturable solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an additive manufacturing materials engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineer, you need a strong background in materials science, engineering principles, and experience with additive manufacturing processes—typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency with CAD software, simulation tools, and familiarity with industry standards and certifications like ASTM F42 are commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help set top candidates apart. These skills are crucial for optimizing material selection, ensuring process reliability, and driving innovation in advanced manufacturing environments.

Job description

iRocket is building the future of reusable launch via advanced manufacturing. We seek an Additive Manufacturing Engineer to lead the design, process development, and qualification of additively-manufactured rocket hardware.

The Role

  • Develop, qualify, and produce additive-manufactured (AM) metal parts for propulsion, structures, and subsystems.
  • Optimize AM designs: design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), thermal-mechanical analysis, post-process workflows, non-destructive inspection, and certification.
  • Collaborate with materials, structures, manufacturing, and design teams to reduce cost, lead time, and improve performance.
  • Set process controls, parameter development, build-book documentation, qualification plans, and manufacturing readiness.
  • Drive iterative improvements, material science evaluations, cost-down strategies, and supply-chain integration.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Materials, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering.
  • 2+ years of experience in metal additive manufacturing, preferably in aerospace, defense, or complex systems manufacturing.
  • Experience with DfAM, CAD/CAE, thermal/structural analysis, post-processing, inspection, and qualification workflows.
  • Familiarity with powder-bed fusion, directed-energy deposition, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), heat treatments, and AM part certification.
  • Excellent teamwork, documentation, and process-improvement mindset.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Short Term & Long Term Disability
  • Wellness Resources
