R&D Engineer for Industrial 3D Print

This Lead R&D Engineer role in Industrial 3D Printing requires extensive experience and a strong educational foundation, typically at least a bachelor's degree. The position demands deep expertise in additive manufacturing technologies, including knowledge of various industrial 3D printing processes such as selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), or metal additive manufacturing methods. A lead-level engineer is expected to have significant hands-on experience developing and optimizing 3D printing workflows, materials, and machine parameters to enhance product quality and production efficiency. Proficiency in CAD software and simulation tools is essential for designing parts optimized for additive manufacturing and for conducting structural and thermal analyses. Familiarity with materials science, particularly polymers, composites, and metals used in 3D printing, is critical. The role involves research and development activities, including prototyping, testing, and validating new printing technologies or materials. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to lead cross-functional teams in innovation projects are key. Experience with data analysis, process control, and quality assurance standards in manufacturing environments is also important. Additionally, knowledge of industry standards, safety regulations, and environmental considerations related to industrial 3D printing is expected. Effective communication skills for reporting findings and collaborating with stakeholders are necessary. Overall, the ideal candidate combines advanced technical skills in additive manufacturing, materials, and engineering design with leadership experience to drive cutting-edge industrial 3D printing solutions.
