Function description
Additive Industries is looking for an Additive Manufacturing Operator to join the Additive Industries process and application development team in Eindhoven, NL. In this multidisciplinary team, you support the development programs running to enable continuous process improvement, new material development and customer applications projects by operating and maintaining the MetalFAB systems located in the Additive Industries Eindhoven.
