Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) Additive Production Technician Empire Group Manufacturing Attleboro, MA Job Details $20 - $26 an hour 9 hours ago Qualifications Computer operation Defect detection (quality control) Machine operation Manufacturing facility experience Quality issues Computer skills Visual inspection for quality control Mechanical knowledge Full Job Description Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) Additive Production Technician At Empire Group, you'll turn digital builds into production-ready parts. Reporting to the Additive Manufacturing Technical Lead, you'll own the post-processing flow for Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and keep work moving from completed builds through inspection and final staging. You'll also jump in on FDM and SLA when needed—finishing, assembly, and other production tasks—so every part meets our standards and ships on time. A Day in This Role You arrive, review the queue with the Technical Lead, and prep today's MJF builds. You organize powders, verify materials, and set up the machine for a clean run. As prints finish, you unpack builds, depowder, bead blast, and dye. You install heat-set inserts and hardware to spec, inspect for defects or dimensional issues, and stage everything clearly—printed, cleaned, inspected, rework, and completed—so the next step is obvious. Throughout the day, you log production data, change consumables, and perform routine cleaning and preventive maintenance to keep equipment ready. When needed, you help the FDM/SLA lines: remove parts, clear supports, clean resin, cure, sand, and stage. You coordinate with finishing, painting, quality, and production so nothing gets stuck. PPE on, workstation clean, priorities followed. What You'll Do Run daily MJF production: prepare builds, set up, operate, monitor, and stage jobs. Handle polymer powders safely—loading, recovery, storage, and organization. Unpack builds; perform depowdering, cleaning, bead blasting, dyeing, sorting, and staging. Install heat-set inserts and hardware per drawings, work instructions, and quality requirements. Inspect parts during post-processing; flag defects, damage, missing components, and dimensional concerns. Follow work instructions, production travelers, quality standards, and scheduling priorities. Keep staging zones clearly organized for printed, cleaned, inspected, rework, and completed parts. Complete routine machine cleaning, preventive maintenance, consumable changes, and readiness checks.

Maintain accurate records:

job status, quantities, scrap, rework, machine logs, insert counts, and post-processing notes.
