Desirable

• As an Additive Manufacturing (AM) Manufacturing Engineer, you will contribute to manufacturing engineering efforts across the development, build, and production lifecycle of advanced laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and manufacturing systems
• You will partner with cross-functional teams to optimize manufacturability, improve build reliability, and ensure our capital equipment systems meet cost, quality, throughput, and production targets
• You will serve as the primary engineering support for multiple subsystems and support critical processes, tools, and workflows that scale us from prototype through production
• Contribute to manufacturing engineering support across multiple LPBF subsystems (e.g., optics, recoater, gas flow, fluid systems) and/or advanced manufacturing modules
• Develop and continuously improve comprehensive work instructions and standard operating procedures for internal and external manufacturing
• Collaborate with design and R&D teams to enhance manufacturability at the component, assembly, and system level
• Conduct design for manufacturing (DFM) analyses to reduce cost and improve cycle time
• Support design changes through PLM, configurations, and change implementation
• Refine manufacturing processes, including assembly, integration, and test operations
• Design, evaluate, and optimize tooling, fixtures, and assembly jigs
• Lead root cause and corrective action (RCCA) activities for manufacturing-related issues
• Improve machine uptime by supporting preventive maintenance strategies
• Partner with supply chain to bring up production lines, support sourcing activities, and resolve supplier technical issues
• Contribute to associated and peripheral factory modules that complement the LPBF printer
• Support the implementation and adoption of enterprise tools like PLM, ERP, and MES systems
• Champion continuous improvement efforts across manufacturing documentation, process control, and product transitions
