Engineering Technician

QUALIFICATIONS:
• High school diploma is required.
• Experience with model finishing or machining activities or a combination of equivalent education and experience is preferred.
• Experience with 3D printing is a strong plus; examples: Stereolithography (SLA), Carbon (DLS), Digital Light Processing (DLP), PolyJet 3D Printing, and Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).
• Proven computer experience, including the ability to use CAD software desired.
• Organized and time-oriented individual with the ability and drive to contribute towards the quick turn-around time on finished models while ensuring fine detail and accuracy.
• Open to exploring new techniques related to Advanced Prototyping or CAE-related areas.

o Candidates must have clear communication skills (written & verbal skills).
o The ideal candidate will not be afraid to ask questions or alert others of problems.
• Attention to detail is extremely important.
o The job revolves around the finishing processing of small plastic prototypes (i.e. - using sandpaper and files, performing tasks such as painting and dying).
o The ideal candidate might be someone that enjoys working on little plastic models or doing arts & crafts.
o The ideal candidate should be able to identify when there is a problem with a model and be able to alert the responsible team members to that problem.
• Should enjoy working with their hands.
o This position requires an individual to clean, sand and handle plastic prototypes with their hands while following all safety procedures and wearing proper PPE.
• Should be open to exploring new techniques to enhance post processing capabilities.
o 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing is an ever-evolving group of technologies. That means the way we post process parts does evolve as well.
o The ideal candidate will be open to change and willing to explore these new techniques.
o If a candidate brings new finishing techniques / ideas with them, that is a bonus.
• Dedication & Ownership of tasks is a must.
o The ideal candidate will take full ownership of tasks each day, including the part quality of an accepted job, and see those tasks / jobs through to the end.
