Manufacturing Systems Data Engineer

About us

Trusted Metal LLC is a small business in Evans, GA. We believe that laser-based metal 3D printing can reproducibly build high criticality parts; however, not using current commercial systems that employ multiple black boxes. We're on a mission to eliminate industry black boxes and establish a Reproducible Digital Thread for transparent, efficient, and cost-effective part qualification

As a Manufacturing Systems Data Engineer at Trusted Metals, you will be responsible for implementing a data pipeline to enable advanced temporal and special registration of laser welding processes (3D metal printing) at 100KHz control to sub-micron microstructural features to enable the creation a data driven feed-forward processing algorithm. This role demands a quality first mindset, it’s not about the quantity of data if its accuracy is compromised. As a primary member of the data pipeline team communication skills are paramount to ensure data pedigree from pre-print preparation to the post-print destructive inspection and everything in between. Succes will enable the unification of a fractured metal 3d printing industry grounded in cold hard reproducible quality.

Responsibilities

• Design and publish cross-platform libraries (.dll, .so) for consistent interaction with structured file types (e.g., XML, JSON)
• Build performant, production-ready software solutions for data ingestion, transformation, and visualization
• Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers to integrate high-speed machine data into usable formats
• Write clear documentation and support internal and external developers using your tools
• Develop and maintain tooling around relevant Additive Manufacturing file formats (3MF + Extensions), including reading, writing, post-processing, and data analysis

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Proficiency in C++ and C#; working knowledge of Python and JavaScript is a plus
• Experience working with structured data formats (e.g., XML, JSON, or similar)
• Familiarity with 3D printing workflows, CAD/CAM, or manufacturing data pipelines is highly desirable
• Strong understanding of software performance, memory management, and modular architecture
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment

Bonus Skills

• Experience with 3D geometry libraries or visualization frameworks (e.g., OpenGL, Three.js, VTK)
• Knowledge of additive manufacturing
• Familiarity with manufacturing software platforms such as ERP, MES, or PLM systems
• Exposure to PLC systems and an understanding of how they interface with software tools
