Applications Engineer, Additive Manufacturing (Polymers)
As an early member of the Hubbell Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) in Wilmington, MA, this role will serve as a subject‑matter expert in the application of polymer powder‑based technologies (SLS / MJF), photopolymer 3D printing, and other polymer AM technologies. Our mission is to drive production‑scale 3‑D printing of Hubbell parts, and this role plays a key leadership role in achieving that.
This position combines application engineering, business development, and project management. It includes validating polymer AM applications, ensuring product requirements, budgets, and timelines are met, and acting as the primary liaison for internal customers. The role bridges technology and practical application, emphasizing manufacturability over R&D.
Responsibilities
Manage a portfolio of polymer AM projects, from feasibility assessment and business case validation to production implementation.
Serve as the primary customer liaison for polymer applications, ensuring satisfaction and fostering relationships to expand AM adoption across Hubbell.
Educate internal teams on identifying AM use cases and aligning design with manufacturing processes.
Support design engineering work packages and participate in design reviews and product development.
Develop standard practices, design guides, and rules for polymer AM.
Apply DfAM principles to optimize geometries for function, value, and manufacturability.
Ensure projects meet schedule, scope, cost, and technical targets.
Collaborate on application, material, and process development for SLS/MJF and other polymer AM technologies.
Manage multiple priorities with strong organizational skills and a focus on execution.
Qualifications
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
3–5 years minimum experience in Additive Manufacturing, preferably with polymer 3D printing for end‑use, serial production applications.
Expert knowledge of polymer powder bed fusion technologies (SLS, MJF), including application development and DfAM. Experience with photopolymer technologies is a bonus.
Experience with production‑scale AM applications.
Background in fast‑paced, entrepreneurial, or hands‑on manufacturing environments preferred.
Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo) and FEA/simulation.
Familiarity with UL certifications and standards is a plus.
Understanding of traditional manufacturing techniques and industry trends.
Ability to work on‑site at our Wilmington, MA facility.
