Graduate Materials Product Engineer Polymers

Join HP Additive Manufacturing Polymers and help shape the future ofIndustrialAdditive Manufacturing (HP AM). As a Materials Product Engineer you will play a key role in ensuring the performance quality and scalability of polymer materials used incutting-edgeapplications across industries. This is a unique opportunity to bridge R&D manufacturing and product engineering in a fast-evolvinginnovation-driven environment.

TheMaterials Product Engineerholds engineering and quality responsibility for released materials in the field. This includes working closely with material suppliers to ensure product quality in line with agreed specifications. The role also supports field investigations and escalations related to material performance and quality.Product Engineers own product specifications assess proposed changes andleadqualification activities to ensure overall product quality. They play a key role in both sustaining engineering and new product introduction.

In new product development Product Engineers collaborate with development teams to understand product requirementsidentifypotential risk areas and define monitoring strategies. They also contribute to the definition of product stabilization plans and ongoing quality support.

Additionally Product Engineers support field escalations working closely with Customer Assurance and Supply Chain teams to assess issues and proposetimely effective solutions.When working with suppliers theymonitorand track production quality data analyze trends and drive corrective actions when needed to ensure consistent product performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Supportthe development and validation of new materialsand processes working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure performance and quality standards are met.
