Materials Sourcing Lead

A 3D printer is one of the most demanding machines you can build.

Lasers, optics, precision motion, thermals, airflow, materials handling, chemistry, sensing, controls, and software all have to work at micron-scale precision, for thousands of layers, with almost no tolerance for error. Making that work reliably is an extraordinary engineering problem.

That’s what we do.

At […], we’re building 3D printers that are changing the way things get made. We have the smartest minds across every engineering discipline, and the technology they’re building is deployed at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA.

Our Manufacturing team makes 3D printing materials at scale, and Materials is one of the fastest-growing and most strategically important parts of our product portfolio. Our powders for our SLS printers are produced by a network of contract manufacturers, and we’re increasingly looking at ways to make the supply chain more agile.

We’re looking for a commercially minded Materials Sourcing Lead to own our powder supply base. You’ll manage contract manufacturer relationships, negotiate the agreements that govern them, and keep cost, capacity, and risk in balance as the business grows. You’ll also help shape our long-term strategy, including where vertical integration can improve our cost position, supply security, or control over quality.
