This role focuses on the development of processes for complex, near-net-shape metallic structures from design to production, ensuring strict compliance with aviation quality and safety standards. Key Responsibilities Process Development: Establish, validate, and optimize WAAM deposition parameters (current, voltage, travel speed, shielding gas flow) for aerospace alloys like Titanium, Inconel, and Aluminium. Path Planning & Simulation: Utilize specialized additive software to generate, simulate, and optimize multi-axis robot/CNC deposition paths to prevent collisions and minimize thermal distortion. Thermal Management: Design and execute thermal control strategies, including inter-pass temperature monitoring and in process cooling, to manage residual stress and microstructural integrity. NPI Support: Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) by transforming aerospace CAD models into WAAM-optimized, near-net-shape geometries ready for post-process machining. Equipme... Permanent
