Large Format Additive Manufacturing Manager

Overview

This is a full-time, on-site role for a Large Format Additive Manufacturing Manager based in Merritt Island, FL. This position is responsible for owning and scaling Building Blocks’ large-format additive manufacturing capability from early application through fully integrated, production-ready use on live façade projects.

The role sits at the intersection of design, engineering, manufacturing, and project execution. The Additive Manufacturing Manager will lead the strategy, process development, and day-to-day operation of LFAM systems used to produce molds, tooling, and potentially end-use architectural components. Success in this role is defined by throughput, repeatability, quality, and reliability.

Responsibilities include defining and optimizing print processes and parameters, qualifying materials, commissioning and maintaining equipment, establishing QA/QC and safety standards, and integrating additive manufacturing directly into project workflows. The role also includes building and leading a high-performance team while driving continuous improvement in cycle time, cost, and output quality.

Close collaboration with design, engineering, tooling, and production teams is essential to ensure digital models translate into executable, production-grade print paths that meet real schedule and cost constraints.

• 8–12+ years of experience in advanced manufacturing, additive manufacturing, or industrial automation, with 3–5+ years in a leadership role
• Direct, hands-on experience with large-format additive manufacturing systems (robotic or gantry-based); concrete, cementitious, or composite materials strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of material behavior, process control, tolerancing, curing, and post-processing
• Proven ability to take emerging or LFAM technologies and turn them into reliable, repeatable production systems
• Experience establishing manufacturing standards, QA/QC criteria, safety protocols, and performance metrics
• Demonstrated leadership in building, training, and managing technical teams
• Strong problem-solving skills with a bias toward execution and accountability
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related technical field
