The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in a fast-paced R&D environment, will take pride in their work, and will have a no-job-too-big-or-small mentality.
Responsibilities:
  • Post process printed parts including depowering, precision cleaning, removing supports, and surface-finishing
  • Operate, maintain, and monitor machinery such as wire EDMs, surface grinders, sand blasters, deburring tools, bandsaws and handle metal powders
  • Participate in process improvement efforts to streamline post processing operations to enable mass production
  • Help turnover builds, ensuring powders, tools, and equipment are available at all times
  • Assist with visual inspection and shipment of final parts

  • Our fast-paced, cross-functional environment is built on close collaboration, and as such, this role requires full-time onsite presence (five days a week), with very limited exceptions.

What We Offer:
  • We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.
  • We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling a world-changing technology.
  • Benefits
