  • Challenge the status quo in LPBF processes through process control and development, refining characterisation techniques for maximum efficiency and minimal waste.
  • Conduct material testing, including metallography, mechanical testing, and powder characterisation to validate material performance.
  • Collaborate with design and production teams to align materials and processes with project goals and customer requirements.
  • Utilise data-driven approaches to analyse manufacturing performance, identifying areas for improvement and implementing continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Contribute to the development of production standards, ensuring compliance with certifications such as ISO 13485 and AS9100.
  • Support new product development by selecting and qualifying novel materials for specific applications.
  • Manage projects related to material and process development, ensuring timelines and objectives are met.


Must Have

  • A strong passion for advanced manufacturing, materials science, and sustainability.
  • A degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Curiosity, a hardworking attitude, and eagerness to learn new techniques and processes.
  • A commitment to excellence, integrity, and responsibility.
  • A team-oriented mindset with the ability to work collaboratively.
  • Experience in material characterisation, testing, and manufacturing process optimisation.


Advantageous

  • Familiarity with additive manufacturing technologies, particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF).
  • Experience with material simulation software and computational methods for predicting material behaviour.
  • Programming experience in LUA, Python, C#, or similar to support process automation and data analysis.
  • Experience with CT scanning, metrology, or other advanced measurement techniques.
  • Applied experience in data analytics and the use of statistical tools.


What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation with opportunities for growth as the company scales.
  • An invaluable learning experience in a rapidly evolving field.
  • The chance to make tangible contributions to our mission of making advanced manufacturing accessible to all.
  • Recognition for your hard work and innovation as Apex continues to grow.
