3D Printing Engineer

Role Description As a 3D Printing Engineer at 3D Visualization, you will work part time in a remote capacity, transforming digital models into reliable physical prototypes and production-ready parts. On a day-to-day basis, you will prepare and optimize 3D files for printing, configure printer settings, select appropriate materials, and monitor print jobs to ensure quality and consistency. You will troubleshoot mechanical and process issues, maintain print equipment and workflows, and collaborate with designers and engineers to refine product designs for manufacturability. The role also involves documenting print parameters, results, and improvements, and communicating clearly with team members and stakeholders about project status and technical recommendations.

Qualifications

• Candidates should possess strong skills in Printing processes and practical 3D printer operation.
• Candidates should possess effective Communication skills for collaborating remotely and documenting technical work.
• Candidates should possess knowledge of Mechanical Engineering principles relevant to 3D printing and prototyping.
• Candidates should possess skills in Product Design and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for creating and modifying printable models.
• Candidates should demonstrate attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and familiarity with common 3D printing materials and technologies (e.g., FDM, SLA).
• Candidates should be comfortable working independently in a remote environment and managing multiple part-time projects.
• Relevant education in engineering, industrial design, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience, is beneficial.
• Experience with CGI, 3D visualization tools, or integrating printed parts into visual prototypes is a plus.
