A day in the life of... a Senior Process & Manufacturing Engineer

Overview

GE Additive Senior Process & Manufacturing Engineer role, part of the industrialisation team, focuses on delivering repeatable and reliable additive manufacturing processes for EBM technology. The position involves a balance of office work and hands-on work on the factory floor, collaborating with technicians, users, and internal teams to move additive manufacturing toward industrialisation.

Responsibilities

• Work primarily with GE Additive's Electron Beam Melting (EBM) technology, with technicians and users, to develop and industrialise processes.

• Lead internal prints (fixtures, benchmarks) and ensure jobs are completed on schedule; maintain and continuously update build work instructions and related guides.
• Prepare and deliver customer training, sometimes spanning full weeks, and translate work instruction theory into practical customer-facing guidance.
• Participate in daily production control calls to align on tasks, deadlines, and catch-up work, with colleagues across global sites.
• Collaborate with materials, design engineering, and external customers to tailor material properties and production methods for specific applications; provide ongoing consultancy to move customers toward full production.
• Ensure safety, quality, delivery, and cost objectives; use rigorous checklists, MES data, design files, and build-time estimations to benchmark processes against customer requirements.
• Support sales enablement by helping define and communicate manufacturing processes that customers can deploy with GE Additive systems.
