Production Technician

We’re hiring a Production Technician to execute day-to-day production on our facility floor—running builds, post-processing parts, and making sure every order is delivered on time and up to standard. You’ll work closely with our Production Operations Engineer, who handles production planning. Your role is to carry out the work—efficiently, accurately, and with a sharp eye for quality.

You’ll be responsible for starting and ending each day by loading printers and harvesting prints. From there, you’ll post-process FDM and SLA parts, manage your queue across multiple jobs, and handle final dispatch. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and who can take ownership of execution without needing constant direction.

This is a critical role on the production team, and we’re looking for someone dependable, organized, and proactive. Bonus if you’re mechanically inclined and confident doing light machine maintenance.

Qualifications

  • 1–2 years of hands-on experience in fabrication, production, or workshop environments
  • Strong finishing skills and familiarity with 3D printing materials and methods
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a quality-first mindset
  • Ability to manage time and tasks in a high-output environment
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Responsibilities

  • Complete the production run in the morning and evening per the production schedule
  • Harvest prints and update build statuses in the system
  • Post-process FDM and SLA parts: remove supports, sand, assemble, and finish to cosmetic quality
  • Perform visual quality checks and flag any failures or issues immediately
  • Dispatch finished orders per the daily dispatch schedule (labeling, packing, and preparing for shipment or pickup)
  • Keep the production area clean, organized, and efficient
  • Prioritize your work across multiple jobs and overlapping deadlines
  • Troubleshoot issues that prevent orders from going out
  • (Bonus) Help troubleshoot machines and perform light repairs (e.g., clogged nozzles, part swaps)

Bonus

  • Mechanical aptitude or prior experience with 3D printer maintenance

Logistics

  • Paid hourly
  • Monday-Friday, 8:30am - 5pm
  • International friendly
