- Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, customer-focused manufacturing environment.

- English language skills (spoken and written) are required for day-to-day communication, technical documentation and customer interaction

PREFERRED SKILLS:

- Experience with CAD and/or build preparation software (e.g., 3Dxpert, Magics, Netfabb).

- Experience operating metal additive manufacturing machines such as laser powder bed fusion or directed energy deposition printers.

- Hands-on experience with propulsion or aerospace components (combustion chambers, injectors, nozzles).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
