Overview In this role, you will drive the development of world-class SLS materials from discovery through commercialization. You'll collaborate with product, hardware, and software teams to push material performance and use customer feedback to steer improvements. You will design robust experiments to understand chemistry, thermal dynamics, and printing parameters, balancing science with practical manufacturability. This is an opportunity to shape next-gen materials for industrial 3D printing in a hands-on, impact-driven environment.
