Additive Manufacturing Tech, FDM (3D Print)

The role

You will own FDM prototype builds from initial request through finished hardware. You will operate, calibrate, and maintain a fleet of FDM printers while partnering with design engineers to determine build strategies.

What you will do

• Own FDM builds end to end from CAD and requirements review through delivery
• Operate, calibrate, and maintain a fleet of industrial and development-grade FDM printers
• Review incoming CAD for printability and identify issues with geometry, tolerances, and clearances
• Partner with design engineers to recommend material, orientation, process, and build strategy
• Prepare and optimize builds using slicer/build-preparation software
• Balance 10–20 active jobs by sequencing work across machines
• Troubleshoot print failures, machine faults, and calibration issues
• Nest and batch work to reduce build time and material waste
• Post-process parts to deliver clean, functional hardware
• Verify completed work against the original request

Required qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on additive manufacturing experience in a prototype lab, service bureau, or development environment; or 2 years of experience with demonstrated ownership of end-to-end processing
• Deep hands-on experience with FDM systems including machine setup, calibration, build preparation, parameter optimization, and troubleshooting
• Experience owning additive builds from CAD intake through finished part
• Ability to evaluate CAD for printability and make decisions around material, orientation, tolerance, strength, finish, lead time, and cost
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot print failures, manage multiple active jobs, and communicate technical risks
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

Nice to have

• Experience with Stratasys industrial FDM systems and/or INSIGHT
• Experience with additional additive technologies such as SLA, MJF, SLS, PolyJet, or metal additive
• Experience in a high-mix, low-volume prototype environment supporting design engineers directly
• Working knowledge of NX, SolidWorks, or similar CAD tools
• Experience with composite tooling, dimensional inspection, or additive process documentation

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities
• Consent to Anduril Industries using a third-party service provider to conduct pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening
