Metal Additive Manufacturing Technician – Jet & Cryogenic Engines

Scope of Work

We are looking for a hands-on Metal Additive Manufacturing Technician to support the rapid prototyping and production of critical components for our indigenous fighter-class jet engines and high-thrust cryogenic rocket engines. This role involves working at the intersection of CAD design, 3D printing, and metallurgical testing to bring digital designs into physical reality.

Nature of Work

• Prepare and optimize 3D CAD models for metal additive manufacturing (SLM, EBM, DED)
• Operate and maintain metal 3D printers (EOS, SLM Solutions, Renishaw, or equivalent)
• Support build planning, powder handling, post-processing, and part inspection
• Perform in-process monitoring and parameter tuning for dimensional and material accuracy
• Collaborate with design engineers to iterate geometries for AM feasibility
• Participate in mechanical testing and non-destructive evaluation of printed parts
• Document build reports, deviations, and quality control logs

Job Requirements

• Diploma or B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Metallurgical Engineering
• 2+ years of experience in metal additive manufacturing (SLM, EBM, DED, etc.)
• Experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks, NX, or Fusion 360)
• Basic understanding of metallurgy and thermal behavior of superalloys (IN718, Ti6Al4V, etc.)
• Familiarity with additive slicing software (Materialise Magics, Siemens AM Build Processor, etc.)
• Knowledge of powder safety protocols, AM machine calibration, and part finishing techniques
• Hands-on experience with support removal, stress relief, HIP, and surface finishing preferred
• Attention to detail and documentation discipline

Eligibility

• Indian nationals or OCI card holders eligible to work in India
• Technicians and engineers passionate about cutting-edge aerospace hardware
• Candidates from defense manufacturing, space, or AM-focused research projects are encouraged to apply
