Hi there! We’re looking for a process driven teammate with strong 3D printing background to help run our materials testing and sample printing processes.

--- The Company and Product ---
Mosaic is a venture-backed 3D printing technology company. Our goal is to bring 3D printing to the factory floor by reducing the total cost per print hour, and introducing the first scalable solution for polymer based 3D printing. You can learn more about our ecosystem here: www.mosaicmfg.com

We entered the industry six years ago with a goal to become the go-to solution for multi-material 3D printing. Today, we’re the most widely adopted multi-material 3D printing technology. Our team recently introduced Array and Element, allowing us to bring 3D printing to the factory floor.

  • are methodical and detailed oriented
  • are organized and good at multi-tasking
  • want to gain experience working with advanced manufacturing technology
  • have an undergraduate degree in engineering
  • comfortrable travelling regularly outside of Canada

--- You’ll probably think about... ---

  • how to optimize printing profiles to get the highest quality results
  • how to best capture and relay product feedback to the rest of our engineering team
  • please include "Hi, I actually read the post!" at the top of your note if you're applying
  • how to setup printing processes to most effectively turn out a high volume of sample parts

--- After 12 months on the job, you can expect to have: ---

  • gained significant experience with 3D printing, and a deep understanding of various parts of the Array and Element systems
  • printed thousands of sample models to help illustrate the quality of output from Element and Array
  • developed processes for documentation, improvements and tracking printing success rates
  • gained first-hand experience at a rapidly scaling technology startup, and learned entrepreneurial skills in the process
  • built a network of top-tier engineers (mechanical, mechatronics, firmware, software), business people, advisors, industry experts, etc.
