About The Position

The 3D Manufacturing Engineer supports and executes daily additive manufacturing operations for in-house production of replacement machine components and prototypes. This role manages end-to-end printing activities, including print preparation, machine operation, post-processing, inventory coordination, quality validation, and documentation. The position plays a key role in scaling additive manufacturing capabilities and supporting the development of a centralized 3D parts library across sites. This role requires a hands-on professional with strong technical aptitude, attention to detail, and the ability to troubleshoot equipment and processes within a manufacturing environment. An engineering degree is required.

Requirements

Engineering degree required.
Experience with additive manufacturing or 3D printing technologies, including resin- and filament-based systems.
Experience using Formlabs and/or Bambu systems, and familiarity with CAD models, STL files, or basic print preparation software.
Experience with quality inspection tools and measurement equipment.

Nice To Haves

Mechanical aptitude and hands-on technical experience in a manufacturing, maintenance, or technical operations environment.
Ability to troubleshoot equipment and process issues and work independently within a manufacturing environment.
Strong organizational, documentation, and time management skills, with the ability to maintain accurate technical and production records.

Responsibilities

Operate and monitor resin- and filament-based 3D printing equipment, including Formlabs Form 4 / Form 4L systems, Bambu Lab printers, and wash and cure equipment.
Prepare, stage, and set up print jobs based on production priorities and demand requirements, including material loading, support generation, orientation review, and build preparation.
Manage printer queues, optimize machine utilization and throughput, monitor active print jobs, and respond to print failures or equipment issues.
Perform post-processing activities, including washing, curing, support removal, surface finishing, and basic assembly.
Assemble multi-component parts using adhesives, inserts, or mixed-material applications, and support hybrid builds that combine existing metal shafts or reusable components with printed wear items.
Inspect printed parts for dimensional accuracy, fit, and quality standards; support fit testing and validation activities with team members; document print outcomes, performance observations, and issues identified during testing; and assist in tracking part performance and lifecycle data.
Maintain records related to print settings, material usage, print times, failure rates, and production output; assist in developing and maintaining the master 3D parts library; capture photos; maintain documentation for successful print configurations and work instructions; and support standardization efforts for future multi-site adoption.
Maintain printer equipment and perform routine cleaning and preventive maintenance; monitor inventory levels of resin, filament, consumables, and spare components; coordinate material replenishment needs; identify opportunities to improve print efficiency, quality, and throughput; assist in evaluating new materials and printing technologies; and support process improvement initiatives related to additive manufacturing operations.
