Additive Manufacturing Specialist - Post Processing

Employer description

About Seurat 

Seurat Technologies is transforming metal manufacturing through Area Printing®, a proprietary additive manufacturing process pioneered at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. By printing an entire area at once rather than tracing each point with a single laser, Area Printing is designed to deliver the quality, throughput, and economics required for serial production. Seurat is producing and shipping metal components today while scaling its technology and factory capacity to compete with conventional manufacturing, reshore critical supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of industrial production. 

Seurat has raised over $230 million and is backed by leading financial and strategic investors, including NVentures, NVIDIA's venture capital arm; Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund; Honda; Porsche Automobil Holding SE; DENSO; GM Ventures; Siemens Energy Ventures; True Ventures; SIP Global Partners; Cubit Capital; Maniv Mobility; and Xerox Ventures. 

General Description: 

Seurat Technologies is seeking a hands-on Additive Manufacturing Specialist – Post-Processing to oversee revolutionary, proprietary Area Printing (LPBF) workflows, part post-processing, and quality control. The ideal candidate demonstrates comprehensive capabilities across the full lifecycle of printed metal components, including:

• Collaborating on part placement strategies and print layout designs that streamline downstream removal and post-processing,
• Developing standardized, high-throughput post-processing workflows that prevent plate backlogs and accelerate turnaround times,
• Operating thermal processing equipment, including furnaces for stress relief and heat treating,
• Utilizing precision measurement tools—such as desktop Keyence CMMs, Keyence imaging systems, standalone CMMs, tensile testing rigs, and Archimedes density measurement,
• Running shop equipment (CNC machines, wire EDMs, and band saws) to separate parts from build plates, perform support structure removal and part finishing, and
• Executing routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting for post-processing and shop equipment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop & Optimize Workflows: Establish high-throughput post-processing and plate management workflows that eliminate production bottlenecks and accelerate turnaround times.
• Layout Strategy & Part Removal: Collaborate on build layout and part placement strategies to streamline downstream part removal, support structure removal, and surface finishing.
• Thermal Processing: Operate thermal processing equipment, including furnaces for stress relief and heat treating of additively manufactured components.
• Equipment Operation: Operate traditional shop machinery, including CNC tools, wire EDMs, and band saws, to execute precise support removal and part separation.
• Metrology & Testing: Utilize precision measurement systems—such as Keyence desktop CMMs, Keyence optical imaging, standalone CMMs, tensile testing rigs, and Archimedes density systems—to inspect and validate finished parts.
• Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Conduct routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting tasks on thermal, post-processing, and ancillary shop equipment.
• Team Guidance: Guide technicians on standard post-processing procedures, safety protocols, and quality control checks for LPBF/Area Printing components.

Requirements:

• B.S. or above in engineering disciplines.
• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, or R&D in related fields.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Work effectively with a cross functional and multidisciplinary team environment.
• Travel up to 10%.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience of working in commercial metal AM manufacturing facilities (service bureaus, manufacturing divisions, laboratories, etc.) is highly preferred.
• Experience in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) based metal printing is strongly preferred.
• Experience in laser welding of commonly used metal (ferrous and nonferrous) materials.
• Experience in designing and operating sophisticated industrial equipment.
