Additive Manufacturing Engineer

Turbomachinery and Heat Transfer Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated Additive Manufacturing Engineer to support advanced experimental research, development, and testing activities. The role combines hands-on operation of additive manufacturing systems, post-processing and furnace work, and close collaboration with researchers and engineers on cutting-edge metal and ceramic components for high-temperature and turbomachinery applications.

Job description:
Lead daily operations of the EOS M290 (LPBF/DMLS) and Lithoz CeraFab (LCM) systems, including scheduling and prioritization. 
Oversee material lifecycles: sieving, recycling and contamination control.
Perform preventive maintenance and routine service tasks.
Prepare, execute, and monitor AM builds - Build setup, orientation, support strategy, and parameter selection, powder handling, reuse, and safety procedures.
Perform post-processing operations – support removal, sintering. 
Support design-for-additive-manufacturing (DfAM) activities - self-supporting geometries, internal channels, monolithic parts; shrinkage, distortion, and tolerance considerations.
Use simulation and digital tools to improve print outcomes.
Conduct dimensional checks and assist with part validation (surface quality assessment, CT etc.).
דרישות התפקיד
BA in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related field;  MA  - advantage.

Strong understanding of additive manufacturing technologies (LPBF, binder jetting, DED, etc.).

Ability to select AM processes, materials, and equipment to meet part requirements and optimize outcomes.

Experience operating high-temperature furnaces.

Documentation and reporting of process.

Ability to read/write technical ation in English.

Familiarity with AM simulation tools (e.g., Simufact Additive, ANSYS AM) - Advantages.

Familiarity with Materialise Magics or similar tools - Advantages.

Understanding related manufacturing techniques (CNC machining, inspection, quality control) - Advantages.

Strong materials science background, especially metallurgical and ceramic behavior - post-processing knowledge (heat treatment, debinding, sintering) is valuable - Advantages.
