• Joined as the company was ramping up its development effort on the Shop System, a lower-cost, high-throughput metal 3D printer. As a contract-engineered product, the Process Team became the core internal development.
• Validated design of proof-of-concept, alpha, and beta systems machines, providing feedback and recommendations to contract engineering team.
• Tested, measured and optimized the printing process and the resulting printed parts against internally developed product requirements, informed when possible from ASTM, MPIF or other industry standards.
• Partnered with external and internal teams to deliver six unique Desktop Metal branded, turnkey metal powders for use with the Shop System. Oversaw powder QA testing.
• Wrangled printed part characterization data, material characterization data and printer and sensor logs into a multi-table JMP project file for in-depth analysis of trends and changes. Leveraged this data set to.
• Compiled Process team's status, needs and results to cross-functional coordination meetings and program stage-gate meetings.
