Key Responsibilities

  • Own prototype delivery and quality to support efficient product development and manufacturing.
  • Act as a subject matter expert, contributing to the company’s 3D printing strategy, including future capabilities and capacity expansion.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to meet customer requirements, referencing CAD models (Creo or SolidWorks).
  • Set up and operate 3D printing equipment:
  • Load/unload material spools
  • Fill resin cassettes
  • Prepare slicing software and job schedules
  • Send and monitor prints across multiple machine technologies
  • Prepare printed parts for post-processing following standard procedures.
  • Perform preventive maintenance, including cleaning, upkeep, and minor repairs in line with safety and quality standards.
  • Execute secondary processing such as media blasting, sanding, and assembly.
  • Maintain a clean, organized workspace using 5S principles.
  • Troubleshoot equipment and print issues to ensure optimal performance.
  • Support administrative activities such as inventory tracking, material ordering, and packaging.
  • Perform additional duties as needed to support business objectives.


Basic Qualifications

  • Associate’s degree in a technical field (engineering, CAD/design, or similar).
  • Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to troubleshoot and repair 3D printing equipment.
  • Working knowledge of computer hardware and troubleshooting related to printing systems.
  • Basic understanding of networking concepts applicable to printing operations.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and measurements.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Excel, Word).
  • Willingness to travel occasionally (less than 5%).


Preferred Qualifications

  • 2–3+ years of experience with 3D printing or additive manufacturing in a manufacturing or engineering environment.
  • Hands-on experience with materials used in 3D printing processes.
  • Stratasys certification (Level 2 operator or higher).
  • Basic CAD skills for model interrogation and modification.
  • Experience with additive technologies such as:
  • FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)
  • PolyJet
  • SLA (Stereolithography)
  • DLP (Digital Light Processing)
  • CLIP (Continuous Liquid Interface Production)
  • Coursework or certifications in Design or Manufacturing with a focus on 3D printing.
