Senior Additive Manufacturing Engineer

Role Overview:

You will design and build the hardware, controls, and software stack required to print energetic materials safely and repeatably. This is a hands-on skunkworks role, part robotics engineer, part controls engineer, part startup builder.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build a prototype propellant 3D printer (extrusion or hybridsystem)
• Develop motion control systems (multi-axis gantry or robotic arm)
• Implement extrusion systems for high-viscosity, particle-loaded materials
• Write control software (Python/C++/embedded) for: Motion control;Deposition control; Process monitoring
• Integrate sensors (pressure, temperature, flow rate, vision systems)
• Develop closed-loop control for material flow and deposition quality
• Collaborate with chemist to match material properties to hardware capabilities
• Ensure system safety for energetic material handling
