In this role, you will fabricate high-quality prototypes in support of applied research teams working across multiple hardware products. You will work closely and frequently with researchers, designers, and engineers in a shared lab environment, translating early-stage concepts into physical form across a wide range of materials, scales, and fabrication methods. Because our prototypes serve internal research rather than production pipelines, the emphasis is on speed, fidelity to intent, and creative problem-solving rather than volume or process standardization.

Minimum Qualifications
3+ years hands-on experience across a broad range of fabrication equipment including 3D print (FDM / SLA), CNC router, laser cutters, and bench tools
Experience working with a variety of materials including metals, plastics, and flexible or soft materials
Ability to model and modify complex 3D parts in CAD and optimize for rapid prototyping
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to collaborate directly with interdisciplinary stakeholders
Comfort with ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities in a research environment
Ability to validate dimensions and critical features using metrology
Experience with work ticketing systems (such as Jira)

Preferred Qualifications
5+ years of hands-on experience with additive processes: 3D printing (FDM / SLA), powder-based additive, injection molding
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings as well as informal sketches and verbal descriptions
Proficient in complex assembly of prototypes
Strong eye for design or visual aesthetics
Interest in learning new fabrication methods
Experience developing SOPs for assembly work
Degree in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, industrial design, or equivalent work experience
