How much do ceramics additive manufacturing jobs pay per hour?

As of Sep 10, 2026, the average hourly pay for ceramics additive manufacturing in the United States is $24.95, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $20.19 and $28.85 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is ceramics additive manufacturing?

Ceramics additive manufacturing refers to the use of 3D printing technologies to produce objects made from ceramic materials. This process builds components layer by layer, allowing for the creation of complex shapes and structures that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional ceramic manufacturing methods. Ceramics additive manufacturing is used in industries such as aerospace, medical, electronics, and art due to its ability to produce highly detailed, custom, and functional ceramic parts. The process typically involves specialized printers and sintering techniques to achieve the desired material properties.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in ceramics additive manufacturing?

To thrive in Ceramics Additive Manufacturing, you need a solid understanding of materials science, additive manufacturing processes, and typically a degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with 3D printing software, CAD tools, and knowledge of specific ceramic printing technologies like stereolithography or binder jetting is crucial. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong teamwork skills help professionals innovate and troubleshoot effectively. These competencies are vital to ensure high-quality production, process optimization, and the advancement of ceramic additive manufacturing techniques.

What are some common challenges faced in ceramics additive manufacturing roles, and how do teams typically address them?

Professionals in Ceramics Additive Manufacturing often encounter challenges related to material handling, consistent print quality, and post-processing. Porosity, cracking, and warping during the printing and sintering processes require careful control of parameters and close collaboration with material scientists and engineers. Teams typically address these challenges through continuous process optimization, regular equipment calibration, and open communication between design, engineering, and production staff. Adapting to evolving technologies and troubleshooting issues are integral parts of the role, making teamwork and problem-solving skills highly valuable.

What is the difference between Ceramics Additive Manufacturing vs Ceramic Technician?

AspectCeramics Additive ManufacturingCeramic Technician
CredentialsTechnical certifications, engineering or manufacturing degreesVocational training or technical certificates
Work EnvironmentManufacturing labs, R&D facilities, industrial settingsProduction floors, ceramic workshops, laboratories
Industry UsageDesigning and producing complex ceramic parts via 3D printingFabricating, finishing, and repairing ceramic products

While Ceramics Additive Manufacturing focuses on creating ceramic components through 3D printing technologies, Ceramic Technicians primarily handle the fabrication, finishing, and repair of ceramic products using traditional methods. Both roles require technical skills, but their focus and work environments differ significantly.

Job description

Beehive Industries is dedicated to Powering American Defense by revolutionizing the design, development, and delivery of jet propulsion systems to support the warfighter. Through the integration of additive manufacturing, the company aims to meet the growing and urgent needs for unmanned aerial defense by dramatically improving a jet engine's speed to market, fuel efficiency, and cost.

Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, with additional facilities in Knoxville, Tennessee, Loveland Ohio, and Mount Vernon, Ohio. Beehive is committed to grow and advance the defense industrial base while manufacturing exclusively in the USA. This role will be located at our Cincinnati, Ohio facility.

Role Overview

The Principal Chemist leads the technical strategy for developing high-solids, UV-curable ceramic suspensions. This senior leader bridges the gap between polymer science and ceramic powder processing. They will engineer stable colloidal dispersions,optimizephotopolymerization kinetics in highly scattering ceramic media, and oversee the successful thermal processing (debindingand sintering) of cured components.

Key Responsibilities
  • Slurry Formulation Design:Develop novel, highly filled UV-curable formulations by integrating ceramic powders into monomer, oligomer, andphotoinitiatormatrices.
  • Colloidal Dispersion Control:Optimizeparticle-matrix interactions using advanced dispersants, surfactants, and coupling agents to maximize solid loading whilemaintaininglow viscosity.
  • Rheological Optimization:Engineer precise fluid dynamics (shear-thinning behavior, yield stress) tailored for advanced manufacturing methods like additive manufacturing or tape casting.
  • Curing & Scattering Management:Adjustphotoinitiatorpackages and resin refractive indices to overcome light scattering caused by high-refractive-index ceramic particles (e.g., Alumina, Zirconia).
  • Thermal Process Integration:Collaborate with process engineers to align chemical formulations with post-processing requirements, ensuring clean green-bodydebindingand defect-free sintering.
  • Technical Mentorship:Drive the intellectual property portfolio, mentor junior formulation chemists, and serve as the subject matter expert for cross-functional teams.
Required Qualifications
  • Education:Ph.D. orMaster'sdegree in Polymer Chemistry, Ceramic Engineering, Materials Science, or Colloid Science.
  • Experience:Binder, Resin, UV photopolymer, long and short chain polymerexpertise, mfg. methods associated with resin development and scale up. Desired qualificationsbeing:experience with Investment casting chemistry developments acrossresin basedshell systems, wax formulations, High loaded Ceramic resin for silica and alumina. Experience withlow and high densitymethods and post processing, facecoatingsand post process coatings
  • Ceramics Expertise:Deep knowledge of ceramic powder surface chemistry, particle size distribution optimization, and colloidal stability theories (DLVO, steric stabilization).
  • Analytical Toolset:Proficiencyin advanced characterization techniques, includingrheometry, particle size analysis (DLS), zeta potential, TGA/DSC, FTIR, and optical microscopy
  • The ability to obtain andmaintaina U.S. government issued security clearance isrequired. U.S. citizenship isrequired, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
  • group Medical, Dental, Life,and Short and Long-Term disability coverage from day one.
  • 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with a Company match.
  • bonus eligible and will also receive equity in the company.
