• Implement custom scripts (e.g., Python) to automate file processing, batching, nesting, and print queue management

• Debug and resolve software edge cases, such as partial build handling and artifact extrusion heights

• Design and validate manufacturing jigs and fixtures using CAD to streamline part removal and workflow efficiency

• Maximize system uptime by developing comprehensive maintenance plans, Standard Operating Procedures, and identifying expected failure modes for high-volume printer fleets

• Customize off-the-shelf hardware and resin delivery systems to meet specific customer production requirements.

• Own the project lifecycle from initial requirement gathering and scope definition through to full-scale production deployment

• Manage on-site pilot programs, providing rapid in-situ troubleshooting and technical support during critical deployment phases
