Job Description

Overview of Added Scientific

Added Scientific is a successful, independent additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing company, historically operating as a contract research organisation. We provide consultancy, problem-solving, and lab-based technical services to high-profile clients across a range of industry sectors, with particular expertise in material jetting, binder jetting, and photocurable-based AM.

We are now entering an exciting new phase as we transition into a product-focused company. Our current focus is the development of advanced 3D and 2D inkjet printing platforms, including custom printhead drive electronics and complete printing systems. These systems are designed for research and development teams working on new materials and devices.

We are a small, technically focused team, and this role is central to how our products are demonstrated, adopted, and used by customers.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Managing Director, the Applications Engineer will act as the technical interface between Added Scientific and its customers. The role combines hands-on technical work with customer-facing activities, including product demonstrations, training, and applications development.

This is a varied role suited to someone who enjoys working directly with users, developing new applications, and helping shape how a new technology is used in practice. While product development is handled by an internal engineering team, this role ensures our products meet customer needs.

Responsibilities

You will be a practical, technically strong individual who is comfortable working directly with customers in a research or engineering environment. You should enjoy explaining how systems work, helping users solve problems, and developing new applications, while also being able to work independently and take responsibility.

Experience in a small or fast-moving organisation would be an advantage.
