Machine Operation & Setup: Prepare prints, calibrate, and operate industrial metal laser powder bed fusion equipment, annealing furnace, wire EDM, and CNC mill.
Powder Management: Safely handle, sieve, mix, and recycle metal powders (CoCrMo & Ti64) following environmental, health, and safety (EHS) protocols.
Post-Processing: Perform critical post-build operations, including de-powdering, part removal from build substrate, support structure removal, and build plate resurfacing.
Quality Assurance: Inspect finished parts using precision measurement tools to ensure dimensional accuracy and compliance with engineering drawings and CAD models.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Perform routine preventative maintenance on AM equipment. Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, or software issues to minimize machine downtime.
Process Improvement & Leadership: Analyze failed builds to determine root causes and recommend adjustments. Train, mentor, and guide junior technicians on best practices and safety standards.
Documentation: Maintain records of build logs, material lot numbers, maintenance activities, and quality inspections for full production traceability.
