LAYIQ - Metal Manufacturing Engineer, Additive (DED) at Hadrian Automation

Customer Technical Support & Requirements Capture: Support technical engagement with customers by gathering requirements, clarifying design intent, and translating program needs into actionable manufacturing plans that align customer requirements with feasible DED manufacturing solutions.
Program Feasibility & Application Development: Evaluate part and program fit for DED, identify technical risks, and support new application development, process selection, and manufacturing planning for critical hardware and production opportunities.
DfAM & Design Reviews: Provide DfAM guidance specific to DED, including deposition strategy, feature design, access constraints, heat input considerations, distortion risk, machining stock, and post-processing-aware design decisions.
Manufacturing Workflow & Build Planning: Define and optimize manufacturing workflows across design, deposition, post-processing, inspection, and certification, while supporting toolpath strategy, setup planning, and production readiness.
DED Process Development & Industrialization: Partner with internal process and manufacturing teams to develop, mature, and industrialize DED capabilities, including equipment readiness, process windows, parameter refinement, and transition from development to repeatable production.
Robustness, Repeatability & Process Improvement: Identify and drive improvements that make DED platforms and workflows more robust and repeatable based on machine behavior, deposition quality, process data, nonconformance trends, and production performance.
Materials & Process Integration: Work closely with materials and quality teams to evaluate weldability, heat input effects, residual stress, mechanical performance, geometric accuracy, and surface condition to refine process parameters and manufacturing guidance for high-performance alloys.
Post-Processing & Secondary Operations Integration: Coordinate across stress relief, heat treat, HIP where applicable, machining, inspection, and finishing to ensure end-to-end manufacturability and downstream process alignment.
Qualification & Validation Execution: Support qualification planning, validation builds, coupons, test plans, NDT strategy, acceptance criteria definition, first article activities, and data package development required for customer approval and production release.
Data, Traceability & Documentation: Maintain clear engineering documentation, process records, work instructions, specifications, and traceability artifacts, and support process control plans, calibration routines, and reporting workflows required for quality and production execution.
Technical Problem Solving: Investigate machine, process, and part quality issues using structured root cause analysis and sound engineering fundamentals, disposition nonconforming hardware as needed, and support corrective actions that improve yield, consistency, and cost.
Cross-Functional & External Coordination: Work closely with Additive Manufacturing, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Materials, Supply Chain, and Operations, while coordinating with machine OEMs, materials suppliers, external processors, test labs, and contract manufacturers as needed.
Best Practices, Standardization & Safety: Capture lessons learned, develop best practices for DED equipment and processes, improve standard work and design guidance, support make-buy and technology assessment activities, and identify opportunities to improve safety throughout the manufacturing workflow.
Technical Communication: Present technical recommendations, trade studies, risk assessments, and status updates clearly to internal stakeholders and customers, and support technical reviews, supplier visits, and broader representation of DED capability when needed.
