Metallurgy Technician

About Seurat
Seurat Technologies is transforming metal manufacturing through Area Printing®, a proprietary additive manufacturing process pioneered at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. By printing an entire area at once rather than tracing each point with a single laser, Area Printing is designed to deliver the quality, throughput, and economics required for serial production. Seurat is producing and shipping metal components today while scaling its technology and factory capacity to compete with conventional manufacturing, reshore critical supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of industrial production.
Seurat has raised over $230 million and is backed by leading financial and strategic investors, including NVentures, NVIDIA's venture capital arm; Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund; Honda; Porsche Automobil Holding SE; DENSO; GM Ventures; Siemens Energy Ventures; True Ventures; SIP Global Partners; Cubit Capital; Maniv Mobility; and Xerox Ventures.
The Role
Seurat is seeking a Metallurgy Technician to support production qualification, routine material verification, and process-development activities for metal components manufactured using Seurat's Area Printing process. This hands-on laboratory role prepares and analyzes metallographic samples, generates accurate and traceable test results, maintains laboratory equipment, and quickly escalates results that may affect production quality, machine qualification, or customer requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Maintain sample identity and traceability from build plate and part location through preparation, testing, imaging, data entry, and final reporting.
Prepare metallographic specimens through sectioning, mounting, grinding, polishing, and etching using controlled, repeatable methods.
Perform optical microscopy and image analysis to document porosity, inclusions, cracks, melt-pool features, grain structure, preparation artifacts, and other material characteristics.
Perform density measurements and report results according to approved methods and acceptance criteria.
Measure surface texture using contact or optical profilometry, distinguishing profile parameters such as Ra and Rz from areal parameters such as Sa.
Conduct hardness testing using Vickers, Rockwell, or microhardness methods
