Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Controls, Robotics, Manufacturing, or related)
5-7 years of experience in polymer additive manufacturing operations, systems engineering, equipment engineering, automation, or factory-scale integration, with deep familiarity in one or more of the following technologies: Stratasys SAF, HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), FDM, SLA, or SLS. Equivalent experience in factory automation, equipment integration, or manufacturing systems engineering with meaningful polymer AM exposure will also be considered.
3+ years of people leadership experience (manager or team lead) with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams.
Hands-on knowledge of polymer powder bed fusion or material extrusion machine architecture and key subsystems including powder or material handling, thermal management, print heads or optics, recoater or deposition systems, build volume management, atmospheres and environmental controls, sensing and monitoring, and post-processing workflow.
Demonstrated experience working with production-grade polymer materials such as PA11, PA12, or similar engineering thermoplastics, including an understanding of material behavior, refresh ratios, and recyclability in a production environment.
Demonstrated experience integrating complex equipment into higher-level software systems (MES, SCADA, equipment management, manufacturing data pipelines, or similar), including requirements definition and interface standards.
Experience managing production operations in a manufacturing environment, including capacity planning, scheduling, yield management, and delivery performance.
Experience deploying automation in production manufacturing environments, including safety, interlocks, commissioning, and sustaining engineering.
Willing to travel up to 20%, including international supplier visits; U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (required for ITAR compliance).
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
