R&D Technician - Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is described as one of the most important and disruptive technologies to have emerged in recent years. It makes components lighter, stronger and more flexible than ever before – enabling previously impossible designs. It reinvents logistics and minimizes waste, reducing the need for both transports and warehousing. True environmental advantages.

With more than 150 years in the metal industry, few understand the secrets of additive manufacturing like Sandvik. Metallurgy runs through every step of additive manufacturing. It also happens to be our specialty and DNA. As world-leading manufacturers of gas-atomized AM-powders and leading experts in post processing methods, such as heat treatment and machining, Sandvik masters every step of the additive manufacturing value chain. In other words, we are in a unique position to lead the additive transformation.

One key priority for Sandvik Additive Manufacturing, is to continue to build our core-competencies within the area of cemented carbide and other hard materials for additive manufacturing. We are therefore looking for an R&D Technician to join our R&D-team in Västberga, Stockholm, in a position where you are an important player in establishing this new and growing business.

Your challenge – Providing qualitative support and problem-solving skills in development projects

As R&D Technician in hard materials for additive manufacturing, you work hands-on within a wide range of R&D projects together with the team. You take part in developing new installations and setups; assisting in the research, development and roll-out of new production technology and associated processes within the area. You work proactively with testing and characterization of powders and printed components, and you support in various projects for problem-solving and product development; utilizing the latest technology and developing new techniques to support our customers in the best possible way.

Furthermore, you ensure that we have the right materials and protocols in place and that the lab environment enables us to always be safe and successful in our daily routine, and you interact with customers and other visitors to present the work we do in a professional manner.
