What you'll do
- Take print requests from engineering, clarify material, tolerances, quantity and deadline, and give honest feedback on printability
- Prepare and slice models for FDM and resin printers, choosing settings, orientation and supports for each part
- Plan and track capacity across around 30 printers, prioritise competing requests and keep requesters updated on status
- Carry out routine and preventive maintenance, including nozzle and hot end changes, calibration, cleaning, belt and bed checks, firmware updates and resin tank care
- Organise service jobs with suppliers for repairs beyond in-house maintenance and follow them up until each printer is back in operation
- Keep the 3D Printing Area clean, safe and organised, including filament and resin stock, spare parts and consumables
- Make the area work better through improved workflows, storage, labelling, documentation and request tracking
What we're looking for
- Currently enrolled at a university, ideally in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, product design, aerospace or a related field
- A real passion for 3D printing: you print in your free time, tinker with your own machines or follow the community
- Hands-on experience with FDM printers, ideally Prusa (CORE ONE L) and Bambu Lab (X1 Carbon, X1E, H2D, H2S, AMS)
- Confident with slicers such as PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer
- Very organised: you can plan, prioritise and track many requests at once without losing the overview
- Clear communicator in English. German is a plus
Nice to have
- Experience with Formlabs resin printers and PreForm, including post-processing (washing, curing)
- Basic CAD skills to make small fixes to models before printing
- Knowledge of engineering materials (PLA, PETG, ASA, PA-CF and similar) and when to use them
- Experience with print farm or queue management tools
