00 TO \$146,400.00 ANNUALLY VulcanForms was founded in 2015 to develop the world?s first industrially scalable laser metal additive manufacturing solution. The company builds and operates advanced digital infrastructure that supports innovation, growth, and sustainability across aerospace, defense, medical, and other essential industries. Through vertically integrated additive manufacturing and precision machining capabilities, VulcanForms delivers end-to-end production at scale. About the

Role:

As a Senior Product Engineer, Post-Processing, you will design and direct the manufacturing processes that transform printed parts from the build plate into finished, inspected products for aerospace and defense applications. You will support new product introduction and continuous improvement of products already in production. Using advanced manufacturing techniques, automation, and lean manufacturing methods, you will develop optimized post-processing workflows and define the processes, procedures, work instructions, and systems needed to produce components and subassemblies to customer specifications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate customer designs and provide Design for Additive Manufacturing feedback
• Partner with the product team to optimize processing intent for customer requirements
• Own process development for all operations after printing, including:
• Part movement and handling
• Depowdering
• Build plate removal
• Heat treatment
• Support removal
• Machining
• Cleaning, marking, and finishing
• Subcontracted operations
• Work with quality teams to ensure appropriate inspection techniques meet customer requirements in development and production environments
• Translate internal and external customer requirements into factory manufacturing steps
• Build part-specific methods of manufacture in the company ERP system
• Design, develop, and implement fixtures and work-holding for depowdering, EDM, heat treatment, support removal, machining, assembly, cleaning, marking, and finishing operations
• Develop prototype fixtures and oversee their manufacture
• Write and maintain work instructions and process-related quality documentation
• Adapt existing processes for new products while maintaining proper file, program, and revision control
• Review and disposition nonconforming material to keep parts moving through the factory
• Support operations with troubleshooting and problem-solving across all process steps between printing and final delivery

• Experience using ERP systems in a batch manufacturing environment
• Deep knowledge of GD&T, statistical process capability, tolerance stack-up analysis, and complex DFM/DfAM constraints
• Strong working knowledge of subtractive manufacturing operations, including 5-axis milling, turning, and EDM
• Understanding of additive manufacturing post-processing operations, including depowdering and build plate resurfacing
• Ability to develop robust processes, work instructions, and manufacturing documentation
• Strong technical communication, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills

Preferred:

• Experience working in an AS9100-certified environment
• Experience supporting aerospace and defense products
• Experience integrating additive and subtractive manufacturing workflows
• Experience designing fixtures and work-holding for industrial manufacturing processes
