The “Additive Manufacturing & Component Reliability” sector of our “Micro & Nano Systems” division, based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland is looking for an
Expert in Additive Manufacturing Process Engineering
Description
Your mission
Your mission will be to innovate and develop laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) process for a fine detailed resolution of complex geometries systems for industrial applications.
Your responsibilities
Process innovation and development of end-to-end manufacturing process for complex parts involving high accuracy for additive manufacturing laser-based technique
Develop and improve LPBF process parameters targeting the highest accuracy, in particular for the AM of parts including complex geometries with additional functions
Work cooperatively and effectively with design engineers: participate to the design and anticipate manufacturing issues. Propose smart ideas for the implementation of parts on build plates to reach minimum defects. Prepare high quality build jobs
Develop and execute internal R&D topics that align with CSEM’s AM roadmap and advance the team’s technical capabilities
Expand and optimize post-process treatments and surface finishing
Understand business and technology needs and develop technology AM-based solutions for pursuit in new project opportunities
Write clear, and accurate technical proposals and reports that capture the project requirements and deliverables
Provide strategic input into the AM technical roadmap
Setup, operate, and perform daily maintenance on LPBF equipment and assure training of new team members
