We are seeking a highly skilled individual who is deeply familiar with the prototyping process. This candidate should possess a broad range of knowledge related to equipment operation, must be hands-on, capable of assembling functional prototypes and suggesting innovative ideas to improve the operational equipment.

The candidate will have the ability to analyze emerging problems and swiftly resolve them on-site using available resources. Strong prototyping skills are essential. This includes working with thermoplastics, resin, and various types of 3D printers, as well as proficiency in CAD/CAM systems like SolidWorks and Fusion 360 for rapid part and product design. The ability to develop programs and operate different 3D printers, along with experience in operating CNC equipment such as laser cutters and milling centers, is required. Additionally, skills in finishing techniques like spray coating, assembling, and design verification are necessary. Experience in prototyping components made of metal — and arranging their manufacture — is highly desirable. 

Furthermore, our team is involved in material development, meaning this individual will work closely with chemists and engineers. Therefore, communication skills in English are necessary to ensure effective collaboration. The candidate must also adhere to safety instructions and be proactive in asking for further information or clarification as needed.
