- Quality Assurance & Production Support – Assisting in initial and secondary QA checks, ensuring prints meet our standards.
- Machine Operation & Maintenance – Learning to prepare and operate printers for production runs, assisting in light machine repairs (e.g., clogs, nozzle changes).
- Production Scheduling & Workflow Management – Helping prioritize workloads across multiple orders with varying due dates.
- Technical Troubleshooting – Shadowing experienced technicians to diagnose and document machine issues.
- Process Improvement & Documentation – Supporting workflow optimizations and maintaining our MES system for tracking print jobs.
Who You Are:
- Detail-oriented and precise – You take pride in ensuring the highest quality standards are met.
- Technically curious – You’re eager to learn the intricacies of fabrication, 3D printing, and production workflows.
