Senior Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineer

Job summary

Here at The***, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. In addition to Nyx, we are actively developing Typhoon, the largest full-flow staged combustion engine ever to be built in Europe.

Qualifications

• The ideal candidate will play a key role in the qualification and development of AM processes, including the definition and characterization of print parameters for new materials on larger, more productive machines.
• This role also involves supporting the certification of AM components to meet high industry standards, including NASA regulations.
• Responsible for onsite materials and powder characterization equipment & laboratory, including selection of equipment, budget for consumables and maintenance, training and standard operating procedures.
• Collaborate on the certification of AM processes and parts, particularly those required to meet NASA and aerospace standards.
• Develop post-process heat treatment procedures and specifications.
• Document results and contribute to technical reports and procedures related to AM process qualification and development.
• Troubleshoot and improve AM processes for enhanced performance and reliability.
• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in AM
• Engineering degree in Materials Science , Metallurgy, Welding or a related field.
• Experience with AM processes such as laser powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition.
• Strong knowledge of material properties, behavior, testing, and characterization—especially metals used in aerospace propulsion applications.
• Familiarity with additive manufacturing standards, including NASA or aerospace industry standards, is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• You will help implement large-scale Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes and develop functionally graded or bi-metallic components.
• in additive manufacturing reporting to TEC's Lead for AM.
• Develop and execute materials development and maturation plans for new processes using established alloys, and for existing processes with new alloys.
• Serve as a Materials Engineer for AM projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams to support the development and production of innovative components and systems.
• Operate AM machines in a development environment as needed.
• Assist in the development of new alloys for AM, including maturation of atomization methods and creation of powder specifications.
• Support the qualification and testing of AM processes to ensure compliance with industry standards and performance
