What are the responsibilities and job description for the Application Engineer position at CADmore Metal?
Company Description
CADmore Metal is a metal additive manufacturing company specializing in Cold Metal Fusion (CMF) — an advanced process that combines Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) with debind and sinter steps to produce high-density metal parts. We're growing and looking for a hands-on Application Engineer who can bridge the gap between customer design intent and production-ready metal parts for aerospace, energy and defense customers.
What You'll Do
- Work directly with customers to review part designs, assess printability, and recommend DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) modifications specific to the CMF process
- Create and modify CAD models to optimize parts for printing, debinding, and sintering — including shrinkage compensation, support strategy, and orientation
- Operate and maintain our SLS print equipment, debinding stations, and sintering furnaces
- Document process parameters, maintain quality records, and contribute to continuous improvement of our production methods
- Support quoting and technical discussions with prospective customers
What We're Looking For
- Proficiency in CAD is required — you can confidently model parts, modify existing geometry, etc...
- Hands-on experience with manufacturing equipment — additive manufacturing, CNC, MIM, or similar industrial processes
- Comfort working with industrial equipment and following detailed process protocols
- Problem-solving mindset
- Strong written and verbal communication; you'll interface with customers directly
Nice to Have
- Experience with SLS, MIM, binder jetting, or other metal AM processes
- Familiarity with build prep or mesh repair software (Magics, Netfabb, or similar)
- Prior experience with debinding and sintering (MIM background is highly relevant)
- Familiarity with stainless steels, tool steels, or other sinterable metal powders
- Experience with ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality systems
- Background supporting technical sales or customer-facing engineering
