Company
We are a confidential, stealth-mode advanced manufacturing company, operating at the intersection of additive manufacturing, materials, and technology development. Our work spans multiple programs and customers, across several industries focused on translating emerging technologies into practical, scalable solutions.
We are a highly technical, small team that values ownership, initiative, and intellectual curiosity. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers, take on real responsibility early, and contribute alongside a highly capable team. We expect to grow deliberately in the coming years, and are selective about adding team members who meaningfully strengthen the trajectory of the company.
About the Role
We are seeking an early-career engineer (1-2 years out of school) with exposure to additive manufacturing / materials / or advanced manufacturing who wants to work in a high-growth environment to build capability quickly. This is a hands-on role in a diverse project environment. The tasks will not be assigned as a narrow engineering function, and rather system level, collaborative tasks. You will need to support multiple programs or projects simultaneously, and feel comfortable navigating evolving priorities. This can include tasks that range from operating equipment to interfacing with testing suppliers or contributing to technical problem solving efforts.
We value potential over tenure, and looking for a candidate with strong fundamentals, sound judgement, and a clear capacity and drive to grow. The role is designed for someone who wants accelerated growth through direct exposure to real engineering challenges.

Required
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineer, Materials Science, or related field
- 1–2 years of experience or internships in additive manufacturing, materials, or advanced manufacturing environments
- Willingness to work hands-on in a lab or machine environment
- High level of curiosity and self-motivation
- Ability to manage multiple tasks across different projects
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
Important Traits
- Independent thinker who does not wait to be told every step
- Comfortable collaborating with both in-house and remote team members
- Open to learning new software systems and digital tools

- Adaptable, and eager to grow
Compensation & Growth
- $80k-$120k annual salary (commensurate with experience)
- Performance-based bonus structure
- Clear opportunity for accelerated responsibility and technical growth
- Direct exposure to senior technical and program leadership
- Minimal travel (<10%)
