Work with the internal service team to plan preventive maintenance and troubleshoot operational issues.\nPlan equipment installations and moves. Coordinate machine relocations, facility readiness, vendor support, and return-to-service activities with relevant stakeholders.\nEnsure build readiness. Confirm that approved build files, material, equipment condition, tooling, work instructions, and downstream capacity are available before releasing work to the floor.\nManage powder, materials, and consumables. Establish controls for receiving, storage, handling, reuse, segregation, inventory, and traceability, in coordination with engineering and quality.\nSupport quality and issue resolution. Ensure operational records are complete, contain and escalate process deviations, and contribute to root-cause investigations and corrective actions.\nImprove operational performance. Track equipment utilization, uptime, schedule adherence, turnaround time, and operational losses. Use these measures to improve capacity, reliability, and delivery performance.\nSupport capacity and resource planning. Identify staffing, tooling, spare-parts, consumable, and equipment needs; provide input into operating budgets and capital investments.\nRequired Qualifications\nExperience leading technicians or production teams in additive manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, or a comparable technical environment.\nPractical knowledge of metal LPBF operations and associated post-processing workflows.\nExperience scheduling shared equipment and personnel across multiple projects with changing priorities.\nDemonstrated ability to develop and implement SOPs, training programs, and standardized work.\nExperience working within a quality management system and maintaining controlled documentation and production records.\nStrong commitment to safety, with experience managing equipment and material hazards in an industrial environment.\nAbility to troubleshoot operational problems, coordinate technical support, and drive issues to resolution.\nClear communication, sound prioritization, and effective collaboration across engineering, quality, project management, and facilities.\nRelevant technical degree, vocational training, or equivalent practical experience.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience operating or supporting multiple metal LPBF platforms and materials.\nFamiliarity with metal powder management, contamination prevention, and material changeovers.\nExperience with relevant post-processing equipment, such as saws, blasting systems, furnaces, or machining equipment.\nExperience with ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality systems.\nFamiliarity with Lean methods, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action processes.\nExperience using production scheduling, maintenance management, ERP, or MES tools.\nExperience supporting equipment installation, commissioning, relocation, or capacity expansion.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nA safe, well-trained technician team; reliable equipment; a realistic and responsive production schedule; and documented workflows that enable consistent execution.
