Turbomachinery and Heat Transfer Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated Additive Manufacturing Engineer to support advanced experimental research, development, and testing activities.
The role combines hands-on operation of additive manufacturing systems, post-processing and furnace work, and close collaboration with researchers and engineers on cutting-edge metal and ceramic components for high-temperature and turbomachinery applications.
Job Description:
- Lead daily operations of the EOS M290 (LPBF/DMLS) and Lithoz CeraFab (LCM) systems, including scheduling and prioritization
- Oversee material lifecycles: sieving, recycling and contamination control
- Perform preventive maintenance and routine service tasks
- Prepare, execute, and monitor AM builds – Build setup, orientation, support strategy, and parameter selection, powder handling, reuse, and safety procedures
- Perform post-processing operations – support removal, sintering
- Support design-for-additive-manufacturing (DfAM) activities – self-supporting geometries, internal channels, monolithic parts; shrinkage, distortion, and tolerance considerations
- Use simulation and digital tools to improve print outcomes
- Conduct dimensional checks and assist with part validation (surface quality assessment, CT etc.)
Requirements:
- Solid foundation in mechanical or manufacturing engineering, materials science, or related field
- Strong understanding of additive manufacturing technologies (LPBF, binder jetting, DED, etc.)
- Ability to select AM processes, materials, and equipment to meet part requirements and optimize outcomes
- Experience operating high-temperature furnaces
- Documentation and reporting of process
- Ability to read/write technical English
- Familiarity with AM simulation tools (e.g., Simufact Additive, ANSYS AM) – Advantages
- Familiarity with Materialize Magics or similar tools – Advantages
- Understanding related manufacturing techniques (CNC machining, inspection, quality control) – Advantages
- Strong materials science background, especially metallurgical and ceramic behavior – post-processing knowledge (heat treatment, debinding, sintering) is valuable – Advantages
