We are at the forefront of advanced manufacturing technology, enabling our clients to create high-precision, complex, and microscale parts and products. Our innovative technology is transforming industries such as electronics, medical, microfluidics, and more.

Job Description:
BMF is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Precision Manufacturing Engineering Lead to join and guide our growing team. In this leadership role, you will oversee and mentor a team of engineers and technicians, driving excellence across our precision additive manufacturing operations and customer applications.

This is a hands-on leadership position where you will not only direct and develop the team but also work directly with BMF’s precision additive manufacturing systems. You’ll be actively engaged in running, maintaining, and optimizing the printers, including those configured for ceramic materials, to ensure process consistency, quality, and efficiency across all production activities.

You will play a key role in advancing our applications expertise, pushing the boundaries of ceramic and polymer 3D printing materials, and ensuring that all production and application development efforts meet the rigorous standards required for a precision manufacturing environment. This position combines hands-on technical execution, materials understanding, strategic leadership, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure consistent, high-quality, and compliant results.

As the Precision Manufacturing Engineering Lead, you will:

• Hands-On Production & Workflow Management: Actively operate, maintain, and optimize BMF’s 3D printer fleet at the Maynard, MA facility—including systems dedicated to ceramic and other advanced materials. Manage daily print operations, production scheduling, and throughput while ensuring quality control, compliance with applicable standards and regulations, and adherence to precision manufacturing practices. Lead by example through hands-on engagement in production activities. Develop and optimize 3D printing parameters and processes to achieve precise, repeatable, and high-quality outcomes across ceramics, polymers, and composite materials.
• Leadership & Best Practices: Lead and supervise the Applications Engineering team, setting priorities, allocating resources, and fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement. Maintain and enforce best practices essential for a precision manufacturing environment, ensuring all processes, documentation, and production protocols uphold the highest standards of accuracy, repeatability, quality, and compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements beyond ISO frameworks.
• Materials Integration: Design and execute experiments to evaluate and qualify both internally developed and third-party materials—including ceramic resins and specialty formulations—for use on BMF systems. Drive materials innovation and integration to expand the range of applications and performance capabilities.
• Sales Collaboration: Partner closely with the Sales Team to address unique customer challenges, translating technical insights into practical solutions. Communicate directly with customers to ensure alignment, satisfaction, and long-term success.
• Industry Insights: Stay current on industry trends, emerging technologies, and evolving use cases in precision ceramics and additive manufacturing. Leverage this knowledge to guide strategic direction, ensure compliance with evolving regulations, and maintain BMF’s leadership in micro-precision 3D printing.

Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience printing with ceramic materials and an understanding of their behavior, post-processing requirements, and design considerations.
• Broader materials background with knowledge of polymers, composites, and resin chemistries.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong technical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in setting up, maintaining, and optimizing best practices and workflows in a precision manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency with production planning, quality control methods, and data analysis.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Experience with additive manufacturing (SLA and/or DLP), with a focus on customer and internal applications and materials qualification.
• Understanding of and ability to ensure compliance with quality, safety, and regulatory standards—including but not limited to ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and other applicable industry and customer-specific regulations.
• Demonstrated success in optimizing print parameters for resin and ceramic materials to achieve desired properties for functional end-use parts.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining a high level of accuracy and consistency.
• Ability to work independently and as a team leader.
• Proficiency with CAD tools.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with Company match
• Professional development opportunities
• Collaborative and innovative work environment
