About the role

We are looking for an Metal Production Additive Manufacturing Specialist specialized in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) to join our growing manufacturing team in Barcelona. The adecuado candidate combines strong practical experience with LPBF technologies and a hands‑on approach to manufacturing. This role focuses on the development, optimization, industrialization, and production of LPBF-manufactured components for demanding aerospace applications. We are looking for a Specialist capable of taking ownership of the complete manufacturing workflow,



from build preparation and machine operation to process optimization, post-processing, inspection, and continuous improvement. Experience with copper alloys, nickel‑based superalloys, and aerospace applications is highly valued. The position will be based in Barcelona.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, optimize, and qualify LPBF manufacturing processes for aerospace propulsion components. Prepare builds, define support strategies, optimize part orientation, and ensure manufacturability of complex geometries. Operate, monitor, and troubleshoot LPBF equipment during production and development activities. Develop and optimize process parameters to achieve quality, repeatability, productivity, and performance targets. Investigate build failures, process deviations, and manufacturing defects through root-cause analysis and corrective actions. Support Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) activities in collaboration with design and analysis teams. Coordinate and oversee post-processing activities, including support removal, heat treatment, machining, stress relief, and surface finishing. Collaborate closely with design, manufacturing, materials, and quality teams to support product development and industrialization. Generate and maintain technical documentation, process specifications, manufacturing reports, and qualification records. Support process validation, production ramp‑up,



and continuous improvement initiatives. What you need to be successful

Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Materials Science, Manufacturing, or a related field. Proven industrial experience with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technologies. Experience developing and optimizing LPBF manufacturing processes. Hands‑on experience operating and troubleshooting LPBF equipment in a production environment. Strong understanding of additive manufacturing defects, process control, and failure analysis methodologies. Experience with post‑processing workflows and manufacturing qualification activities. Knowledge of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) principles. Strong problem‑solving abilities and an execution‑oriented mindset. Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering environment. Other useful skills

Experience manufacturing components in copper alloys and nickel‑based superalloys. Experience in aerospace, space, energy, motorsport, or other high‑performance industrial sectors. Familiarity with build preparation, simulation, or additive manufacturing software. Knowledge of EN9100 or equivalent aerospace quality standards. Experience with process qualification, validation, and industrialization. Exposure to other additive manufacturing technologies such as DED, WAAM, Binder Jetting, or EBM is considered a plus. Not hitting every requirement? Research suggests that some people tend to hesitate when it comes to job applications if they don't meet all the desired qualifications. Here at Pangea Propulsion, we're committed to fostering a workplace that values diversity, inclusivity, and authenticity. So, if you're enthusiastic about this role but your prior experience doesn't align perfectly
