Who Are We?

ThinkMetal focuses on advanced materials innovation for manufacturing,with a strong emphasis on metal and alloy systems for additive manufacturing. We operate at the intersection of materials science, hardware, and process engineering, building integrated solutions that translate material capabilities into scalable, production-ready systems. Our work spans metal and alloy development, feedstock engineering, and manufacturing setup design, enabling high performance, reliable, and repeatable industrial processes. We focus on taking materials from lab scale understanding to real world manufacturing deployment, particularly for metal based applications. As part of the team, you will work in a highly hands-on workplace with direct exposure to end-to-end product and process development, from concept and experimentation to production implementation.

Role Overview-





To run, standardize, and optimize the extrusion process using machine and process data, manage raw material inventory, and maintain documentation that converts trials into practical, repeatable production processes.

Key Responsibilities-
- Set up, and monitor the extrusion line for development trials and production batches.
- Understand polymer properties, melt behaviour, and material-process interactions to optimize extrusion performance and product quality.
- Establish and standardize extrusion process parameters such as temperature profiles, screw speed, die pressure for each material.
- Optimize extrusion parameters for dimensional consistency, surface quality, yield, and throughput through structured trials.
- Collect, log, and analyze extrusion machine data (temperatures, pressures, torque/load, speeds, output, downtime, scrap) to identify and implement process improvements.
- Track pro
