This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with and learn from industry leaders and pioneers in metal additive manufacturing, while playing a key role in disrupting the industry through the development of our autonomous printing factory technology.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop a thorough understanding of the printing system's capabilities and technology roadmap, collaborating with internal engineering teams to further automate and optimize the printing process for high-volume production.

• Manage all stages of print production development, including DfAM feedback, file preparation, printing, postprocessing, and quality control.

• Analyze in-situ process data and post-print part quality to drive continuous improvement in part accuracy, consistency, and mechanical performance.

• Apply first-principles thinking to understand technical challenges, design test methods, evaluate potential solutions, and provide well-supported technical recommendations to both internal teams and external customers.

• Document and maintain application requirements, project objectives, statements of work, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and action plans to ensure all internal and external stakeholders are aligned.

• Act as a technical liaison with external customers, effectively communicating ALCT's technical capabilities and collaborating to improve customer designs for additive manufacturing (DfAM).

• Contribute to ALCT’s internal technology roadmap by incorporating feedback from both internal operations and external customers, identifying areas for design and systems-level enhancements.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering from an ABET-accredited university or college.

• Hands-on experience in mechanical design, testing, and 3D printer operation.

• Experience managing the full hardware development lifecycle, including hand calculations, CAD design, fabrication, and testing.

• Solid understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals, with a first-principles approach to technical problemsolving. Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with metal 3D printing processes, particularly DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) or LPBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion).

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.

• Strong academic track record.

• Passion for additive manufacturing and innovative cooling technologies.

• A scrappy, first-principles mindset with a proactive approach to tackling complex challenges.

• Strong team-oriented mindset and positive attitude.

• Detail-oriented with excellent verbal, visual, and technical communication skills.

• Process development experience in metal additive manufacturing.

• Experience working with both internal teams and external customers.

• Experience designing mechanical systems, particularly those related to thermal management or fluid systems.

• Passion in startup for long term achievement is desired.
