Why TYTAN?

• Make a lasting impact in the new era of defense!
• Join us to create a safer world for all.

Responsibilities

• The contribution matters.
• Engineers bring you the parts they need; you turn their requests into a clear plan, pick the right printer and material, and deliver a finished part on time.
• Because many teams need prints at once, you will balance competing requests, keep everyone updated on status and make sure our fleet of around 30 printers runs reliably every day.
• Your roadmap to make an impact Print requests: Take requests from engineering, clarify material, tolerances, quantity and deadline, and give honest feedback on printability Print preparation: Prepare and slice models for FDM and resin printers, choosing settings, orientation and supports for each part Capacity planning: Plan and track capacity across around 30 printers, prioritise competing requests and keep requesters updated on status Maintenance: Carry out routine and preventive maintenance, including nozzle and hot end changes, calibration, cleaning, belt and bed checks, firmware updates and resin tank care Supplier repairs: Organise service jobs with suppliers for repairs beyond in-house maintenance and follow them up until each printer is back in operation Lab organisation: Keep the 3D Printing Area clean, safe and organised, including filament and resin stock, spare parts and consumables Continuous improvement: Make the area work better through improved workflows, storage, labelling, documentation and request tracking
• German is a plus Nice to have Experience with Formlabs resin printers and PreForm, including post-processing (washing, curing).
• Develop autonomous defense systems designed to protect lives and strengthen Europe’s security Shape scalable defense capabilities: Work on solutions built for mass deployment, cost efficiency, resilience, and reliable production at scale Contribute to networked air defense: Help integrate our systems into multi-layered defense architectures alongside sensors, command systems, and effectors Develop for real-world operations: Build capabilities together with end users and improve them continuously based on direct operational feedback Move fast and take ownership: Work in a focused, high-performance team where decisions are made quickly and individual contributions have immediate impact Define a new generation of defense technology: Join early and help shape the products, engineering standards, culture, and direction of a fast-growing deep-tech company Work with an international mission-driven team: Collaborate with experienced specialists united by the goal of creating sovereign and effective security capabilities for Europe Our Benefits Monthly allowances: €68/month in flexible benefits including lunch discounts and EGYM Wellpass or shopping credit Regular health care events: Health check-ups, skin screenings, mental health workshops, and an annual vitamin infusion on us Referral bonus: Earn a reward when someone you refer joins the team Regular team events: On- and off-site activities to connect and celebrate together Corporate discounts: Exclusive employee discounts across a wide range of partner brands Flexibility : Flexible working hours and hybrid work model, plus a modern Munich office built for focus and collaboration About us At TYTAN, it is more than just a job; it is about embracing autonomy, personal growth, and purpose.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled at a university, ideally in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, product design, aerospace or a related field A real passion for 3D printing: you print in your free time, tinker with your own machines or follow the community Hands-on experience with FDM printers, ideally Prusa (CORE ONE L) and Bambu Lab (X1 Carbon, X1E, H2D, H2S, AMS) Confident with slicers such as PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer Very organised: you can plan, prioritise and track many requests at once without losing the overview Clear communicator in English.
• Basic CAD skills to make small fixes to models before printing.
• Knowledge of engineering materials (PLA, PETG, ASA, PA-CF and similar) and when to use them.
• Experience with print farm or queue management tools.
