Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories: the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed.\nAt Factory ONE in Munich, metal laser powder bed fusion produces flight and defense hardware where one bad layer can scrap a part worth weeks of work. As our LPBF Technician, you own the metal printers end to end: from build preparation through powder, machine and post-processing to a part that is ready for inspection.\nYou make sure every metal build runs, and every part can be traced back to its powder lot.\nThe Role\nRun the LPBF machines. Set up, monitor and shut down LPBF builds, including plate, recoater and inert gas.\n\nPrepare builds. Check orientation, supports and plate layout, and tell engineering what will print reliably.\n\nOwn the powder. Sieving, storage and lot traceability, with strict safety discipline on reactive powders.\n\nPost-process. Depowdering, stress relief, plate and support removal, and handover to machining and metrology.\n\nMaintain. Filter changes, cleaning, preventive maintenance and first-level troubleshooting.\n\nRecover from failures. Secure the data, find the cause, then restart.\n\nDocument. Build records and non-conformities per EN9100, traceable to every serial number.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n2+ years hands-on LPBF experience in an industrial environment, ideally aerospace, defense, medical or energy.\n Machine fluency. You have run and maintained LPBF systems on your own (e.g. EOS, SLM/Nikon, Trumpf, Renishaw, Colibrium Additive). You know what a recoater crash, short feed or a rising oxygen level looks like and what to do about it.\nPowder safety. You know how to handle reactive metal powders safely: inerting, grounding, ATEX awareness, wet separators, PPE.\nProcess understanding. You understand how orientation, supports and parameters affect distortion, porosity and surface quality.\nQuality mindset. You document cleanly and treat traceability as part of the job. Experience in an EN9100 or ISO 13485 environment is a plus.\nHands-on. You depowder, clean, change filters and saw plates yourself.\nLanguage: Fluent German for the shop floor, working English for the team in Zurich.\nOn-site: Based in Munich, working on site at Factory ONE.\nWhat we're not looking for\nOperators who press start and walk away. Each build gets your attention until the part is off the plate.\nAnyone who restarts a crashed job without understanding the cause.\nPeople who take shortcuts with powder safety or traceability.\nAnyone who needs every procedure written out before acting. You help write them.\nWhat we offer\nMission: Rebuild the industrial sovereignty of the West. Your builds become mission-critical hardware.\nGrowth path: You work directly with our LPBF lead and grow with the metal AM floor, with the option to lead your own sub-team as it scales.\nOwnership: You run the metal AM floor from day one and shape how it scales.\nThe Environment: A greenfield factory with metal AM, SLS, 5-axis CNC and in-house metrology, in a data-driven production environment.\nThe Team: Close collaboration with engineering, quality, software and robotics. \"Special Forces\" model: everyone ships, no politics, no bureaucracy.\nCompensation: Competitive salary incl. share options.\nLocation: Factory ONE, Munich.\nApply\nResume: Show us the LPBF systems, materials and parts you have worked with.\n Cover letter: Why this mission? Why now? And describe a build that failed: what caused it, and what you changed afterwards.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3735,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T20:50:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":54,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.716,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":24,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","win:late","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/saeki-lpbf-additive-manufacturing-technician","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/saeki-lpbf-additive-manufacturing-technician.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T11:27:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13600,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3894098},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3894098"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsaeki-lpbf-additive-manufacturing-technician"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsaeki-lpbf-additive-manufacturing-technician"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsaeki-lpbf-additive-manufacturing-technician"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/saeki-lpbf-additive-manufacturing-technician\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsaeki-lpbf-additive-manufacturing-technician"}]}
