Additive Manufacturing Engineer: Thermoplastics

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Geometry & Print Feasibility:

• Review and adapt incoming CAD models for 3D printability
• Make informed decisions on geometric changes with internal and external teams
• Ensure files are clean, structured, and ready for slicing

Slicing & Toolpath Generation:

• Generate optimized toolpaths for robotic additive manufacturing
• Establish and document slicing methodologies for recurring shapes
• Own advanced slicing strategies and software selection
• Continuously improve toolpath quality and reduce scrap rate
• Be our link to slicing software providers

Workflow Management & Internal Collaboration:

• Oversee and improve the CAD → 3DP workflow
• Work closely with CNC specialists to align hybrid workflows
• Support team members in using slicing workflows
• Ensure robust, scalable slicing procedures across the org

Innovation & Non-Dilutive Funding Support:

• Provide technical input for grant applications (e.g. Innosuisse)
• Contribute slicing-related insights to internal R&D initiatives

Quality & Delivery:

• Guarantee that customers receive best-in-class printed parts
• Troubleshoot toolpath or printability issues before production
• Drive print success rate through better geometry preparation

• Experience with slicing software (e.g. Ai Build, ADAXIS) and toolpath logic
• Familiarity with robotic or large-scale extrusion 3D printing
• Solid CAD skills (Rhino, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, etc.)
• Strong understanding of 3DP process constraints and material behavior
• Proactive, hands-on mindset with attention to detail
• Strong communication skills across technical disciplines
• Bonus: experience with CNC processes or toolpath generation

• Be part of a fast-growing ETH Zurich spin-off redefining robotic manufacturing
• Collaborate with a passionate, interdisciplinary team at the forefront of innovation
• Work on large-scale printing challenges that push the boundaries of engineering
• Take ownership of core processes in a flat, agile team structure
• Hybrid work setup, flexible hours, and an office in Zurich
• Shape the early foundation of a company where your work truly matters
