About the role

  • Additive Manufacturing Engineer with expertise in LW-DED technologies and robotic systems at Pangea Propulsion. Responsible for overseeing the entire fabrication process and collaborating with quality and design teams.

Responsibilities

  • Program, configure, and operate robotic systems for LW-DED (and preferably LP-DED) manufacturing routes
  • Own the entire fabrication process, from parameter definition to in-process monitoring and post-build evaluation
  • Apply strong metallurgical understanding (solidification, dilution, thermal cycles, microstructure evolution) to optimize process parameters and deposition strategies
  • Assess how each process step (wire/powder feed, laser energy, bead overlapping, scan strategies, thermal input, cooling times) affects final properties, geometry, and defect formation, and adjust accordingly
  • Implement and interpret Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods (e.g., visual, penetrant, ultrasonic, 3D scans, CT scan) to validate deposited material and final components
  • Define and oversee post-processing activities: machining, heat treatments, stress relief, HIP, and surface finishing operations
  • Collaborate with design and quality teams, providing process and metallurgical insight to ensure manufacturability and compliance with technical requirements
  • Troubleshoot process deviations, equipment issues, and material-related anomalies during and after fabrication
  • Prepare detailed technical documentation: process sheets, build reports, inspection plans, and quality records

Requirements

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent
  • Hands-on experience with DED technologies (LW-DED, LP-DED, or similar directed energy processes)
  • Proficiency in robot programming (KUKA, ABB, Fanuc, or equivalent)
  • Strong understanding of material behavior under thermal cycles, microstructure formation, and defect mechanisms
  • Ability to define, tune, and optimize process parameters and deposition strategies
  • Knowledge of NDT techniques relevant to welds and additive manufacturing
  • Experience with post-processing methods (machining, heat treatments, HIP, finishing)

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Professional development opportunities
