Additive Manufacturing Print Supervisor

About the role

As an Additive Manufacturing Print Supervisor, you will lead a team of highly trained technicians operating a growing fleet of Monolith LPBF additive manufacturing systems. You will own day-to-day print operations, improve equipment utilization, develop technical talent, and establish the operational discipline required to deliver consistent, certifiable production at scale. This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in high-reliability, procedure-driven environments and knows how to build teams, enforce standards, solve complex problems, and continuously improve performance.

Responsibilities

• Own Print Operations – Lead daily print operations with accountability for safety, quality, throughput, and delivery; ensure build plates are executed in accordance with established procedures, specifications, and production requirements; establish objective performance metrics and drive continuous improvement across the print operation; identify operational risks and scheduling constraints before they impact production commitments.
• Build & Lead a High-Performance Team – Hire, train, coach, and develop a growing team of additive manufacturing technicians; establish rigorous training and qualification standards aligned with aerospace and defense requirements; build technical depth and bench strength across the organization; develop future technician leads and frontline leaders through structured coaching and development.
• Drive Process Rigor – Establish and reinforce standardized work, procedures, audits, and documentation systems; ensure consistent execution across shifts, technicians, and equipment; identify gaps in processes and work instructions and partner with Engineering and Manufacturing Development to close them; foster a culture where technicians understand not only what to do, but why it matters.
• Improve Throughput, Utilization & Cost – Improve printer utilization, labor efficiency, yield, and consumable usage; identify constraints and opportunities across the print value stream; develop and execute a pipeline of high-impact improvement initiatives with measurable results; use data to prioritize investments and improvements based on operational impact and return.
• Solve Complex Manufacturing Problems – Lead structured problem solving across equipment, process, material, and part-quality issues; partner with Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and other cross-functional teams to identify root causes; implement corrective and preventive actions that improve long-term reliability and performance; translate lessons learned into improved processes, standards, and training.
