VP, Integrated Materials and Process Technologies

About Us Founded in 2015 to develop the world’s first industrially scalable laser metal additive manufacturing solution, VulcanForms is reshaping how the world manufactures critical products. We build and operate advanced digital infrastructure that enables innovation, accelerates growth, and supports sustainability across aerospace, defense, medical, and other essential industries. Through our vertically integrated capabilities, including scalable additive manufacturing and precision machining, we deliver true end-to-end production at scale by combining cutting-edge technology with a foundation of proven industrial craftsmanship. Our team brings deep expertise in manufacturing, materials science, software, automation, and operations, united by a shared commitment to quality, curiosity, and accountability. We foster an inclusive culture where people take ownership, solve meaningful problems, and continuously learn, because we believe diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes. Job Purpose As the Vice President of Integrated Materials and Process Technologies at VulcanForms, you will lead the development and industrialization of the materials and process technologies at the core of our metal additive manufacturing platform. You will own the technical roadmap spanning materials, printing processes, post-processing, and the integration of these technologies across both gantry-based and galvo-based additive manufacturing systems. This role requires a systems-oriented technical leader who can operate from first principles while translating advanced R&D into safe, repeatable, scalable production. You will lead and develop a multidisciplinary organization, partner closely with teams across engineering and manufacturing, and ensure that VulcanForms continues to advance its core technology while delivering production-ready solutions for customers across aerospace and defense, medical, consumer, and other high-performance industries. Key Responsibilities Define and execute the multi-year technical roadmap for advanced materials and integrated process development across VulcanForms’ additive manufacturing platforms. Own delivery against critical materials and process technology milestones, balancing development velocity with safety, regulatory compliance, cost, quality, and manufacturability. Lead the transition of new materials and processes from early-stage development through validation, qualification, and repeatable serial production. Establish the technical reviews, validation gates, documentation standards, process controls, and engineering rigor required to scale new technologies into production. Lead VulcanForms’ core materials and process technology organization while building leadership depth across managers, engineers, scientists, and senior technical contributors. Develop organizational capabilities that support multiple product lines and industry-specific applications with varied technical, regulatory, and production requirements. Partner closely with manufacturing, hardware, software, supply chain, quality, application engineering, and commercial teams to ensure technology development supports production schedules, customer commitments, and long-term business objectives. Drive the technical roadmap for next-generation additive manufacturing applications, printing processes, materials, and post-processing technologies while supporting near-term series production. Serve as a key technical leader in defining the requirements and specifications for new metal additive manufacturing systems and associated equipment, from powder handling through part finishing. Build scalable engineering and quality frameworks that enable rapid development without compromising technical rigor, process safety, or production reliability. Reinforce a culture of ownership, urgency, humility, craftsmanship, and first-principles engineering through technical reviews, decision-making, and day-to-day leadership.
