Full Job Description
We seek an Additive Manufacturing Engineer to lead the design, process development, and qualification of additively-manufactured rocket hardware.

The Role
  • Develop, qualify, and produce additive-manufactured (AM) metal parts for propulsion, structures, and subsystems.
  • Optimize AM designs: design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), thermal-mechanical analysis, post-process workflows, non-destructive inspection, and certification.
  • Collaborate with materials, structures, manufacturing, and design teams to reduce cost, lead time, and improve performance.
  • Set process controls, parameter development, build-book documentation, qualification plans, and manufacturing readiness.
  • Drive iterative improvements, material science evaluations, cost-down strategies, and supply-chain integration.

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Materials, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering.
  • 2+ years of experience in metal additive manufacturing, preferably in aerospace, defense, or complex systems manufacturing.
  • Experience with DfAM, CAD/CAE, thermal/structural analysis, post-processing, inspection, and qualification workflows.
  • Familiarity with powder-bed fusion, directed-energy deposition, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), heat treatments, and AM part certification.
  • Excellent teamwork, documentation, and process-improvement mindset.

Benefits
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
