Jobs at Velo3D

Qualify and monitor metal 3D printers, analyze printed parts using metrology and inspection techniques, troubleshoot production issues, execute experiments, optimize printing and post-processing workflows, and document results. The role collaborates with engineering, applications, hardware, software, and laboratory teams to improve tool performance, validate features, resolve bottlenecks, and update operating procedures.

Manage HR strategy and operations, employee relations, performance management, talent and workforce planning, compensation and benefits, HR systems, compliance, leaves, and employee experience. Lead the HR and talent acquisition team while advising executives and managers. The role requires deep California employment law knowledge, HR infrastructure scaling experience, and support for hourly and salaried employees in a manufacturing environment.

Owns testing and qualification of metal additive manufacturing printers from subsystem bring-up through final release. Authors procedures, defines acceptance criteria, validates test equipment, supports technicians, and leads root-cause investigations. Maintains internal printer availability, automates data capture with Python and Shell, tracks yield and reliability, supports software releases, and ensures AS9100-compliant records. The role requires hands-on expertise across electrical, fluid, motion, optics, controls, software, and safety systems.

Designs, develops, tests, validates, and documents optical and opto-mechanical systems for multi-laser metal additive manufacturing platforms. Responsibilities include laser beam delivery design, optical testing, alignment, calibration, supplier management, system integration, troubleshooting, documentation, manufacturability improvements, and project coordination from concept through production.

Oversee quality for laser powder bed fusion printers and metal printed-part production. Perform inspections, audits, nonconformance disposition, CAPA, root-cause analysis, FMEA, supplier improvement, and corrective actions. Maintain quality metrics, investigate manufacturing issues, support continuous improvement, and collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and field service teams. The role operates in office and manufacturing-floor environments and requires familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100, Lean/Six Sigma, mechanical drawings, and data-driven problem solving.

Leads sustaining process engineering for a fleet of laser powder bed fusion metal 3D printers. Manages engineers and technicians, printer qualification, metrology, fleet health monitoring, troubleshooting, statistical experimentation, process improvement, and lab operations. Partners with hardware, software, applications, manufacturing, and customers to improve print quality, consistency, and production efficiency. Oversees hiring, training, performance management, qualification reports, root-cause investigations, SOPs, and resource planning.

Designs and executes test plans for print software tools, collaborates with field service engineers to reproduce and triage hardware-related bugs, manages software releases, and troubleshoots issues on printers. The role requires testing complex hardware, working effectively with software engineers, and supporting technical hardware users.

Develop machine learning models to predict printability of complex CAD geometries using image, thermal, simulation, and sensor data. Design and maintain structured and unstructured data systems supporting diverse data ingestion, storage, and retrieval. Deploy models into production in collaboration with preprint, process, and applications teams. Experience with geometric data, production software engineering, and Python or C++ is required; powder bed fusion and manufacturing data workflows are preferred.

Design and implement test plans for desktop tools supporting 3D printing workflows. Reproduce and triage bugs with applications engineers, drive desktop software releases, and collaborate with DevOps and software engineering teams to automate testing. The role requires understanding CAD-like applications, desktop software testing or 3D printing, and working effectively with technical software users.

Support customers and internal teams to prepare, optimize, and print metal additive parts using Flow software. Design and modify complex CAD geometries, operate AM machines, troubleshoot hardware/software, train customers, perform hands-on technical tasks onsite and offsite, and collaborate across departments to ensure production success.

Serve as technical account manager for target customers to drive adoption of Velo3D additive manufacturing from concept to production. Provide CAD design support, print preparation and costing, program/project management, customer education, problem resolution, and cross-functional coordination to scale production using Velo3D systems.

Build and evolve a scalable React-based web UI for a fleet management platform. Migrate legacy components, design reusable front-end architectures, integrate with REST APIs, and create interactive data visualizations. Collaborate with stakeholders, backend engineers, and designers to deliver performant, test-covered user experiences.

Own and operate Velo3D's quality and product compliance programs: manage accreditation/certification (NCAMP, NIAR, AS9100, AS13100, ASTM), maintain evidentiary records, lead audit responses and corrective actions, support regulatory/contractual reporting (GIDEP), deliver training and policies, coordinate supplier compliance, and extend certification scope to the Livermore facility.

Lead design and development of mechanical and electromechanical systems for additive manufacturing capital equipment. Create prototypes, perform GD&T, system integration, testing, validation, thermal/FEA/CFD analysis, and documentation (BOMs, drawings, procedures). Manage small to mid-sized projects, coordinate fabrication and installation, drive continuous improvement, and collaborate with Hardware, Software, and Process teams.

Lead product development as a Software Architect, enhancing software architecture, leading engineering teams, and integrating machine learning in advanced manufacturing.

Customer-facing applications engineer who prepares and optimizes print files, designs and analyzes complex CAD geometries, supports customer production and training, troubleshoots hardware/software, operates metal AM machines, and collaborates with engineering teams to develop additively manufactured production hardware.

Lead design, development, testing, and documentation of mechanical and electromechanical subsystems and capital equipment for additive manufacturing. Perform GD&T, system integration, validation, thermal/FEA/CFD analysis, and hands-on prototyping. Manage small–mid projects from concept to production, drive continuous improvement, and coordinate fabrication, installation, and repair while collaborating with hardware, software, and process teams.

Lead sales efforts for metal 3D printing into government and defense primes. Build pipeline of direct government contracts and select prime contractor relationships, run consultative sales campaigns, collaborate cross-functionally, generate leads, and close high-value capital equipment deals to meet/exceed multi-million dollar bookings.
