About the position

ATI is currently seeking a Sr Engineer (Additive/3D Printing) to join our new facility located in Margate, FL. The primary purpose of this job is to provide engineering support to the production process within the additive manufacturing segment of ATI. This includes involvement in core additive processes, CAD modeling from customer designs, preparing materials for printing, customer interaction, and other duties as assigned. A successful Additive Engineer will quickly grasp ATI's business culture and processes, become proficient in all necessary software for the duties assigned, have a continuous improvement mindset, and be able to act quickly and decisively in a fast-paced and matrixed environment. The essential functions of this role include the design of additive manufacturing builds to be used for both production and research and development purposes. The engineer will serve as an internal and external technical contact for the additive manufacturing process, specifically for electron beam melting (EBM) and direct metal laser melting (DMLS). Responsibilities also include the maintenance and standardization of operating instructions, machine instructions, and related equipment processing parameters. The engineer will provide technical support in resolving process-related non-conformances and customer complaints, develop an understanding of process variables and key process indicators to ensure consistent results, and evaluate and implement tools and techniques to improve monitoring during the Additive Manufacturing process to ensure the quality of the final part. Collaboration with Operations and Maintenance personnel is crucial to develop improvements to manufacturing processes and standards that enhance safety in the workplace, equipment performance, and product quality. The engineer will also plan, execute, and manage product/process continuous improvement programs that support the Additive Manufacturing Team. Additionally, support for Product Engineering and R&D in the development, evaluation, and standardization of new products and processes is expected. The engineer will develop and maintain technical expertise in Additive Manufacturing processing of Ni/Ti/Al-based alloys through experimentation, technical literature review, best practice exchanges across the company, and attending technical conferences.
