Responsibilities
With broad guidance, and previous experience, selects method and makes necessary assumptions to determine proper model orientation and support structure required to achieve technical characteristics and successfully print a 3D component on a variety of machines and materials. Provides design coordination for engineers and technical staff through the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) models. Establishes production plans, in-process quality control and cost estimates in support of the 3D print
Within overall assignments, incumbent leads the development of process validation and verification efforts by creating a thorough understanding of machine and process variables. Machine and process variables will be examined through Design of Experiments (DoE) prior to validation. Additionally the incumbent will lead creation of process failure mode and effects analysis (pFMEA) documents. Develops test protocols and assists operators with execution of test protocols. Upon completion of testing, analyzes data and creates test reports
Establishes processes for development, production, and sustainment. Phases include: process development; medical scan reconstruction; design influence for manufacturing; additive manufacturing; rapid prototyping; manufacturing technology; design of tools and fixtures to aid with process efficiency. Assists with the development of procedures and methods for the manufacture of medical models, devices, and research and development (R&D) initiatives. Identifies proper materials based on requirements, dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing
Establishes quality assurance processes, process documentation/standard operating procedures; process control; quality control, quality acceptance test planning and conduct; destructive and non-destructive testing; and inspection. Designs, sets up and conducts testing of items or systems during the R&D, production, and sustainment phases
Serves as technical subject matter expert on fabrication equipment and performs maintenance and troubleshooting activities to maintain equipment’s function per manufacturer’s specifications. Completes training requirements as necessary to have a full understanding of the equipment’s operational abilities and will occasionally operate equipment with the technical team members
Serves as a technical consultant to staff engineers and supervisor for efficient and effective production/quality/manufacturing for programs of record and urgent need projects, with the majority of projects involving medically related models, products, or systems. Evaluates tasks independently with respect to product requirements and related data to make recommendations on alternative approaches and execution. Modifies existing products or prototypes, design of applicable quality test processes, or complete fabrication of systems to meet customer requirements
