LPBF Additive Manufacturing Technician

SAEKI - Manufacturing at software speed Europe's defense industrial base cannot respond at the speed modern conflict requires. Legacy suppliers operate on month-long timelines. Tribal knowledge is retiring. Supply chains are fragile. SAEKI is building the operating system for autonomous factories: the infrastructure that lets Europe manufacture mission-critical components at software speed. At Factory ONE in Munich, metal laser powder bed fusion produces flight and defense hardware where one bad layer can scrap a part worth weeks of work. As our LPBF Technician, you own the metal printers end to end: from build preparation through powder, machine and post-processing to a part that is ready for inspection. You make sure every metal build runs, and every part can be traced back to its powder lot.

The Role

• Run the LPBF machines. Set up, monitor and shut down LPBF builds, including plate, recoater and inert gas.
• Prepare builds. Check orientation, supports and plate layout, and tell engineering what will print reliably.
• Own the powder. Sieving, storage and lot traceability, with strict safety discipline on reactive powders.
• Post-process. Depowdering, stress relief, plate and support removal, and handover to machining and metrology.
• Maintain. Filter changes, cleaning, preventive maintenance and first-level troubleshooting.
• Recover from failures. Secure the data, find the cause, then restart.
• Document. Build records and non-conformities per EN9100, traceable to every serial number.
