About Seurat

Seurat Technologies is transforming metal manufacturing through Area Printing®, a proprietary additive manufacturing process pioneered at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. By printing an entire area at once rather than tracing each point with a single laser, Area Printing is designed to deliver the quality, throughput, and economics required for serial production . Seurat is producing and shipping metal components today while scaling its technology and factory capacity to compete with conventional manufacturing, reshore critical supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of industrial production.

Seurat has raised over $ 230 million and is backed by leading financial and strategic investors, including NVentures , NVIDIA's venture capital arm; Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund; Honda; Porsche Automobil Holding SE; DENSO; GM Ventures ; Siemens Energy Ventures; True Ventures; SIP Global Partners; Cubit Capital; Maniv Mobility; and Xerox Ventures .

General Description

Seurat Technologies is seeking a Process Engineer – Printing to work on a revolutionary and proprietary Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) based Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology. This new Area Printing technology greatly enhances the quality and productivity of metal additive manufacturing process.

The ideal candidate demonstrates comprehensive capabilities to use additive manufacturing method to produce product and process materials that involves: (a) creating printing and manufacturing plan for specific product requirement, (b) tuning process parameters for optimal results, (c) operating the printer to print parts, (d) conducting design of experiment, (e) conducting basic troubleshooting and maintenance of printing and ancillary equipment.
