Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with Seurat’s process, materials and application engineers and provide feedback during the iterations of designing, testing, and part manufacturing.
- Characterize printed parts using inspection equipment to address and resolve design-related issues that may impact the quality of printed components in production.
- Develop post-processing workflows for customer applications using standard and specialty equipment.
- Generate and finalize part design and assist process engineers to develop proper manufacturing processes based on first principles, materials characterization results, metrology data, process data, and simulation results.
- Understand and translate application constraints and performance criteria into design requirements optimized for Area Printing.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate the design process into product development workflows and lead/support activities such as design for Area Printing guidelines.
- Stay abreast of advancements in metal 3D printing technologies, materials, and design methodologies and continuously evaluate and integrate new tools and techniques to improve processes and outcomes.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or similar technical discipline.
- 5+ years of professional experience with additive manufacturing.
- Experience using nTopology and other AM software such as Magics, Netfabb, and SolidWorks
- Understanding of post-processing techniques for additive manufacturing components and how to design for manufacturability.
- Strong knowledge of mechanical drawings and GD&T.
- Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think innovatively in the context of additive manufacturing.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
- Travel up to 10%.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with thermal and mechanical design and its application in additive manufacturing.
- Experience using Generative Design and topology optimization software.
- Proven hands-on experience with metal additive manufacturing processes.
- Experience with rapid prototyping and fixture design using polymer 3D printers.
