Additive Manufacturing Engineer

Company

DEEP is an international design and engineering company on a mission to make humans aquatic. We’re doing this by advancing ocean exploration through the development of new technologies that will enable humans to live and work in underwater environments for longer periods of time.

95% of the ocean is unexplored. Countless discoveries are waiting to be made, and knowledge gained, that will benefit our planet and all of humanity. The challenge is access, and that’s where DEEP comes in. We’re building subsea human habitats to enable research at depth and increase our understanding of the ocean, so we can help protect it.

DEEP Manufacturing based in Harris County offers advanced manufacturing capabilities and expertise in large-format metal additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping and material testing. Our advanced manufacturing facilities include a state-of-the-art robotics suite, offering 3D printing services and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) capabilities which means we can deliver manufacturing projects in less time and at lower costs compared to traditional manufacturing processes.

Mission

Join a dynamic, well-resourced UK-based company pioneering advanced engineering capabilities and developing groundbreaking intellectual property. We are seeking a skilled Additive Manufacturing Engineer to play a key role in leveraging additive manufacturing technologies to deliver innovative solutions. You will collaborate with technology development and production teams to refine AM designs and processes, including toolpath development and design for manufacture.
