Additive Manufacturing Engineer

iRocket is building the future of reusable launch via advanced manufacturing. We seek an Additive Manufacturing Engineer to lead the design, process development, and qualification of additively-manufactured rocket hardware.

The Role

• Develop, qualify, and produce additive-manufactured (AM) metal parts for propulsion, structures, and subsystems.
• Optimize AM designs: design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), thermal-mechanical analysis, post-process workflows, non-destructive inspection, and certification.
• Collaborate with materials, structures, manufacturing, and design teams to reduce cost, lead time, and improve performance.
• Set process controls, parameter development, build-book documentation, qualification plans, and manufacturing readiness.
• Drive iterative improvements, material science evaluations, cost-down strategies, and supply-chain integration.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering.
• 2+ years of experience in metal additive manufacturing, preferably in aerospace, defense, or complex systems manufacturing.
• Experience with DfAM, CAD/CAE, thermal/structural analysis, post-processing, inspection, and qualification workflows.
• Familiarity with powder-bed fusion, directed-energy deposition, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), heat treatments, and AM part certification.
• Excellent teamwork, documentation, and process-improvement mindset.
