Additive Engineer

About the role

As an Additive Manufacturing Engineer at Impulse , you will assist in supporting the development and production of additive products for our propulsion system. Work alongside propulsion engineers and other manufacturing engineers to take hardware from initial drawings to functional and robust hardware.

Collaborate with design, analysis, materials, responsible engineers and other manufacturing engineers in developing the next iteration of propulsion hardware
Work hands-on with additive platforms, including optimization, troubleshooting, and calibration, while coordinating with OEMs for improvements
Drive and identify projects to make the printer platforms more robust and repeatable based on machine issues, failed builds, and sensor monitoring/in process data acquisition
Produce and optimize strategies for full manufacturing processes (procedures, quality verifications
Working with vendors to define requirements for additively manufacturing hardware
Develop new additive processes & materials to support efficient propulsion products
Drive and identify projects to make the printer platforms more robust and repeatable based on machine issues, failed builds, and sensor monitoring/in process data acquisition
Produce and improve reports, procedures, and manuals to document results and refine development processes
Support component testing as it relates to verification and validation of additive hardware (proof, leak, flow, fit tests)
Manage hardware manufacturing process from additive manufacturing down to test hand-off

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, welding, aerospace, or other related engineering discipline
2+ years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment
Demonstrated experience with Design for Manufacturability both for additive and traditional manufacturing processes
Strong understanding of thermal and structural fundamentals as they apply to metallics
