Additive Manufacturing Technician – Metal 3D Printing (EV Industry)
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

A growing EV company based in Barcelona is looking for an experienced Additive Manufacturing Technician to support its production and development activities. This role focuses on the operation, maintenance, and optimisation of metal 3D printing equipment used in the production of precision components. The position sits at the intersection of design, process engineering, and materials, and applicants should have experience in at least two of these areas.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, R&D, and quality teams to ensure reliable operation of additive manufacturing systems, while also contributing to process improvements, sustainability measures, and product development.
Responsibilities:

Operate and maintain metal additive manufacturing equipment, including setup, powder handling, build monitoring, and routine maintenance.
Collaborate with design and engineering teams to develop and optimise build parameters, support strategies, and post-processing methods.
Implement and improve maintenance procedures to reduce downtime and ensure consistent part quality.
Monitor and manage stock of consumables, powders, and spare parts in coordination with supply chain.
Contribute to initiatives aimed at improving process efficiency, product quality, and environmental performance. Requirements:

Technical qualification or relevant hands-on experience in a high-tech manufacturing environment.
Practical knowledge of metal 3D printing technologies, preferably including titanium or similar materials.
Experience operating and maintaining industrial SLM equipment and related post-processing tools.
Ability to identify and resolve process issues and build failures through data analysis and problem-solving.
Comfortable working across departments in a fast-moving production and development setting. Desirable:

Background in sectors such as automotive, motorsport, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing.
Familiarity with lean manufacturing tools such as 5S or preventative maintenance planning.
Knowledge of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) and sustainability considerations in production. This position offers the chance to be involved in the development and production of advanced components for EV platforms using cutting-edge manufacturing methods. If you have the technical background and are ready to contribute to a process-focused production environment, you are encouraged to apply

The Skills Gap in Semiconductor Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

The semiconductor industry lies at the heart of modern technology. From smartphones and data centres to autonomous vehicles, medical devices and defence systems, semiconductors power the digital age. The UK is investing heavily in semiconductor research, fabrication and talent development as part of its industrial strategy — yet employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not job-ready for semiconductor roles. Despite strong academic programmes in engineering, physics and materials science, there remains a tangible skills gap between what universities teach and what semiconductor employers actually need. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities do well, where there are consistent shortfalls, why the divide persists, what employers genuinely want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build successful careers in the semiconductor sector.

Semiconductor Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Semiconductors sit behind almost everything: smartphones, EVs, medical devices, aerospace systems, telecoms networks, cloud data centres & the AI boom. In the UK, the semiconductor ecosystem spans chip design, IP, photonics, compound semiconductors, testing, packaging, equipment, supply chain & R&D. That breadth creates real opportunities for career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s, especially if you target roles where experience, process discipline & delivery skills matter as much as deep device physics. This article gives you a UK reality check: what semiconductor jobs actually look like, which roles are realistic for career switchers, what skills employers value, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a barrier.

How to Write a Semiconductor Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Semiconductors sit at the heart of modern technology. From consumer electronics and automotive systems to AI, defence, telecoms and advanced manufacturing, semiconductor professionals play a critical role in designing, fabricating and testing the components that power the global economy. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Semiconductor job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced engineers and scientists frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, generic or disconnected from the realities of semiconductor development and manufacturing. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Semiconductor professionals are detail-oriented, process-driven and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, precision and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a semiconductor job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.
