Additive Manufacturing Product Design Engineer

Job Description The Additive Manufacturing Product Design Engineer is responsible for translating customer requirements into manufacturable, high-performance product solutions for aerospace, medical, automotive, and industrial applications. This role focuses on the design of components balancing features, finishes, form, and function against manufacturability and cost. The position will partner closely with engineering, manufacturing, fulfilment, and quality teams to translate product requirements into compelling, manufacturable designs. Unlike a traditional mechanical design role, this position emphasizes translating customer requirements into manufacturable, high-performance solutions by leveraging SDM's capabilities in additive manufacturing, post-processing, rapid prototyping, and cross-functional product development. The role serves as a bridge between customer needs, engineering constraints, and AM production capabilities to deliver validated, production-ready solutions. This is a hybrid role with 25% travel. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.
