IMPORTANT
This is not an entry-level position for someone who has never worked with 3D printers.
We are specifically looking for someone who already has substantial practical 3D-printing experience, including experience with slicing and nesting software.
A candidate who has spent years working with 3D printing as a serious hobbyist may be an excellent fit even without previous professional dental or laboratory experience.
We can teach the dental applications. We do not want to teach the fundamentals of 3D printing from the beginning.
