DescriptionAs 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.
Responsibilities- 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
Minimum Qualifications- 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
