Materials Engineer, Additive Manufacturing

Our Propulsion Materials team is responsible for developing and qualifying laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes for nickel-based superalloys used in next-generation rocket engines. In this role you will own process development, parameter optimization, and material characterization for high-performance components on Raptor engines. You will work daily with design and manufacturing teams to push the limits of what is possible with LPBF nickel superalloys and other materials. If you have significant hands-on experience developing and qualifying LPBF processes for nickel-based superalloys and want to apply that expertise to the most demanding propulsion applications, this is the role for you.
