(Senior) Process Engineer

About the role

Reporting to the Head of Process & Materials Engineering, the Process Engineer will expand  Alloy’s library of complex component features, geometries, and support strategies. You will work closely with Alloy’s Software and Control teams to design, implement, and test new Stack Forging features. You will critically analyze experimental results, design process improvements, and develop support strategies.  This will require problem-solving skills and data analysis skills paired with the design and hands-on execution of experiments. 

What you’ll do

• Deeply understand Stack Forging and develop novel strategies for expanding a library of component geometries and associated support strategies. 

• Prototype and test 3D & 2D geometric algorithms to generate complex process instructions for novel additive manufacturing machines

• Work cross-functionally with Software, Production, Hardware, and Applications engineers to meet Customer needs through process improvements to enable complex component fabrication

• Provide Design for Manufacturability feedback on customer components to improve outcomes

• Run experiments to determine design guidelines and improve process capability 

• Document data and findings to present data clearly and concisely to technical and non-technical Builders

• Develop strategies for motion control, path planning optimization, and 3D geometric supports

• Design and develop automated data acquisition test rigs

• Work closely with machine controls to improve performance, efficiency, and  yields

• Work with novel industrial equipment to measure and validate operating parameter ranges and process control

• Data analysis and programming skills for building DOEs and analyzing data

What you’ll bring

• Bachelors in mechanical engineering, computer engineering/science, physics,  or a relevant technical discipline

• 3-5 years of experience, preferably in advanced manufacturing, industrial equipment, or mechatronics

• A proven track record of rapid experimental design, execution, and data analysis to inform real-world progress 

• Experience working with a Software team in a Production code environment to develop best-in-class software

• Experience working with hardware in additive manufacturing, 3D printing, 3D CAD/CAM or inspection tools, robotics, or mesh modeling tools

• Programming experience in Python/C++ and Linux environments

• Comfortable with Agile methodologies, Git workflow, release processes, and Jira 

• Ability to work in a fast-paced and changing environment with a bias towards action

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
