Full job description

Fabric8Labs, headquartered in sunny San Diego, CA, is revolutionizing metal additive manufacturing with advanced 3D printing technologies. We’re looking for a skilled Quality Engineer to join our team.

Fabric8Labs is focused on accelerating metal additive manufacturing adoption and enabling new applications with our patented Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) process. Since moving into our new production facility, we are rapidly expanding our team to advance and commercialize our disruptive technology.

As a Quality Engineer, you’ll be contributing to the company’s efforts to push the boundaries of ECAM technology by maturing our internal measurement and inspection practices as well as analyzing that data to develop proposals for process improvement. The Quality Engineer will be responsible for the application of customer quality requirements. This includes creating, developing, documenting, and executing measurement protocols on our 3D-printed parts, both for R&D analysis and mid to large-scale production.

This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll often have to wear multiple hats: designing, sourcing, testing, supporting, and troubleshooting inspection processes and equipment. This position requires strong quantitative and analytical skills, critical thinking, and the ability to balance multiple projects simultaneously. We’re changing the manufacturing industry, and we want contributors who are ready to solve the technical challenges of tomorrow.

If you are excited about the opportunity to change the future of manufacturing in collaboration with our growing team, then come join us! Backed by industry-leading partners, including Mark Cuban, Intel Capital, TDK Ventures, Stanley Black and Decker, and NEA: Fabric8Labs is at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, and we are excited to bring in diverse minds and perspectives.

• Coordinate and collaborate with other technical teams to perform experimental work aimed at achieving performance targets
• Excel as a team member by mentoring and supporting our technician staff, collaborating with other technical disciplines and interfacing with external vendors and consultants
• Maintain calibration and verification of measurement equipment.
• Hands-on assembly and troubleshooting

• Experience with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) per ASME Y14.5.
• Familiarity with inspection planning, measurement system analysis (MSA), and gauge R&R.
• Working knowledge of quality standards such as ISO 9001, AS9100, or equivalent.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, and technical specifications.
• Experience with statistical analysis (SPC, capability studies) and data-driven problem solving.
• Demonstrated ability to iterate and validate changes quickly
