Senior Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineer

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle

that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We are looking for a talented Senior Additive Manufacturing Materials Engineer to join our mission and contribute significantly to

the development and in-house production of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for our propulsion products powering all our

space vehicles.

The ideal candidate will play a key role in the qualification and development of AM processes, including the definition and

characterization of print parameters for new materials on larger, more productive machines. This role also involves supporting the

certification of AM components to meet high industry standards, including NASA regulations. You will help implement large-scale

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes and develop functionally graded or bi-metallic components. This is a versatile position

with broad hands-on responsibilities in additive manufacturing reporting to TEC's Lead for AM.

• Develop and execute materials development and maturation plans for new processes using established alloys, and for existing

processes with new alloys.

• Serve as a Materials Engineer for AM projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams to support the development and

production of innovative components and systems.

• Assist in the development of new alloys for AM, including maturation of atomization methods and creation of powder

specifications.

• Support the qualification and testing of AM processes to ensure compliance with industry standards and performance

requirements.

• Responsible for onsite materials and powder characterization equipment & laboratory, including selection of equipment, budget

for consumables and maintenance, training and standard operating procedures.

• Strong knowledge of material properties, behavior, testing, and characterization—especially metals used in aerospace propulsion

applications.

• Extreme sense of ownership and responsibility for work assigned, striving to complete on-time , exceptional quality, and under

budget.
