General Description: Seurat Technologies is seeking a hands-on Additive Manufacturing Specialist - Post-Processing to oversee revolutionary, proprietary Area Printing (LPBF) workflows, part post-processing, and quality control. The ideal candidate demonstrates comprehensive capabilities across the full lifecycle of printed metal components, including:
- Collaborating on part placement strategies and print layout designs that streamline downstream removal and post-processing,
- Developing standardized, high-throughput post-processing workflows that prevent plate backlogs and accelerate turnaround times,
- Operating thermal processing equipment, including furnaces for stress relief and heat treating,
- Utilizing precision measurement tools-such as desktop Keyence CMMs, Keyence imaging systems, standalone CMMs, tensile testing rigs, and Archimedes density measurement,
- Running shop equipment (CNC machines, wire EDMs, and band saws) to separate parts from build plates, perform support structure removal and part finishing, and
- Executing routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting for post-processing and shop equipment.
Responsibilities:- Develop & Optimize Workflows: Establish high-throughput post-processing and plate management workflows that eliminate production bottlenecks and accelerate turnaround times.
- Layout Strategy & Part Removal: Collaborate on build layout and part placement strategies to streamline downstream part removal, support structure removal, and surface finishing.
- Thermal Processing: Operate thermal processing equipment, including furnaces for stress relief and heat treating of additively manufactured components.
- Equipment Operation: Operate traditional shop machinery, including CNC tools, wire EDMs, and band saws, to execute precise support removal and part separation.
- Metrology & Testing: Utilize precision measurement systems-such as Keyence desktop CMMs, Keyence optical imaging, standalone CMMs, tensile testing rigs, and Archimedes density systems-to inspect and validate finished parts.
- Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Conduct routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting tasks on thermal, post-processing, and ancillary shop equipment.
- Team Guidance: Guide technicians on standard post-processing procedures, safety protocols, and quality control checks for LPBF/Area Printing components.
Requirements:- B.S. or above in engineering disciplines.
- 3+ years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, or R&D in related fields.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Work effectively with a cross functional and multidisciplinary team environment.
- Travel up to 10%.
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience of working in commercial metal AM manufacturing facilities (service bureaus, manufacturing divisions, laboratories, etc.) is highly preferred.
- Experience in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) based metal printing is strongly preferred.
- Experience in laser welding of commonly used metal (ferrous and nonferrous) materials.
- Experience in designing and operating sophisticated industrial equipment.
