Purpose The Commissioning Technician III is responsible for commissioning, calibration, troubleshooting, repair, rework, and qualification of large-format laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 3D printers and supporting manufacturing equipment. The role brings complex equipment and integrated systems online, verifies performance against engineering requirements, restores non-conforming equipment to full capability, and prepares equipment for production operation. The Technician is specifically responsible for multi-laser optical calibration and verification, including laser alignment and registration to the machine coordinate system and build plane. The role also supports mechanical, electrical, motion, pneumatic, hydraulic, controls, robotics, powder-handling, inert-gas, and other systems as applicable. The Role Equipment Commissioning & Systems Integration Commission LPBF printers and supporting manufacturing equipment following assembly, installation, or major modification. Bring equipment and subsystems online in a controlled sequence and verify performance against engineering requirements. Commission LPBF systems including X/Y/Z motion, powder handling, inert gas, condensate collection, controls, recoater systems, and multi-laser optical systems. Verify system interfaces, machine configuration, and conditions required for calibration and qualification. Identify conditions affecting accuracy, repeatability, throughput, quality, or production readiness. LPBF Printer Commissioning Commission X/Y/Z motion stages and verify positioning, homing, travel limits, alignment, and repeatability. Commission powder handling, inert gas, condensate collection, and associated control systems. Bring hardware controls online and verify communications, I/O, sensors, actuators, alarms, and interlocks. Install, align, adjust, and verify recoater systems. Multi-Laser Optical Calibration & Verification Perform and document optical calibration of multi-laser LPBF systems in accordance with engineering requirements. Align and register each laser to the machine coordinate system and common build plane. Verify laser-to-laser alignment, positioning, and optical performance across the build area. Use optical measurement and calibration equipment to identify and correct alignment or performance issues. Perform approved optical adjustments, calibration, and related…
