Job Description

IMRA Surgical is a Melbourne based MedTech company and global leader in surgical robotic training. We design and manufacture clinically validated, hyper-realistic synthetic human torsos and organ models that enable MedTech companies, surgeons, and teaching hospitals to replace cadavers and live animals in surgical training globally.

n

We work with leading hospitals, surgeons, universities, training centres, and global MedTech companies. Demand for our products is growing quickly, and so is our team.

n

About the Role

n

3D printing is a key process within our operations, and we're expanding the team with a role dedicated to it.

n

You'll operate our resin and filament printers day to day, and own the systems around them: printing planned and prioritised against production requirements, documented procedures supporting consistent and repeatable output, and a preventative maintenance program that keeps the equipment running well.

n

It's an opportunity to take real ownership of a core manufacturing process early in your career. We don't expect you to arrive knowing how to do all of this — you'll be supported by our production, engineering and quality teams, and given the room to grow into it.

n

What You'll Do

n

Operate, monitor, and troubleshoot resin and filament 3D printers.

n

Prepare, slice, and optimise print files for quality, consistency, print time, and material usage.

n

Post-process printed parts — support removal, washing, curing, inspection, and preparation for use.

n

Own the 3D printing schedule, planning and prioritising printing against production requirements.

n

Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures across our printers, covering settings, orientation, supports, material, and post-processing.

n

Own a preventative maintenance program across both printer types, including servicing, calibration, cleaning, and basic repairs.

n

Diagnose and resolve print failures and equipment faults.

n

Work safely with the materials our processes use — 3D printing resins, IPA, cleaning agents, and hydrogel-related materials — following our procedures, safety data sheets, and training.





n

Set up, clean, move, and handle tooling, fixtures, equipment, and materials across our lab, production, and workshop areas.

n

Keep accurate records of print jobs, consumables, output, and quality outcomes, to our quality and manufacturing standards.

n

Train others in the team on the procedures you develop.

n

What You'll Get Out Of It

n

n
- Full ownership of a manufacturing process, including the planning, the procedures, and the equipment.
n
- Hands-on experience across resin and filament printing, from file preparation through to finished part.
n
- Practical exposure to manufacturing planning, process documentation, and equipment maintenance in a quality-driven environment.
n
- Direct working relationships across production, engineering, and quality, in a company where your work is visible.
n

n

About You

n

You're a recent engineering graduate who likes working with your hands, likes machines, and takes satisfaction in making a process run properly. You're organised, methodical, and want to own something end to end.

n

A degree in mechanical, manufacturing, process, mechatronic, biomedical, or product design engineering, or a related discipline.

n

A genuine interest in manufacturing, process improvement, and hands-on production work.

n

Strong attention to detail and a solid documentation mindset.

n

A positive can-do attitude and willingness to get involved wherever the team needs support.

n

Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.

n

Clear communication and the ability to work across production, engineering, and quality.

n

Highly desirable, but not essential:

n

Hands-on experience operating 3D printers, particularly resin (SLA/MSLA) and filament (FDM)



machines.

n

Experience maintaining, servicing, calibrating, or repairing 3D printers or similar equipment.

n

Familiarity with slicing software and post-processing workflows.

n

Exposure to CAD, process documentation, or continuous improvement methods.

n

Formal industry experience isn't required. We're hiring for capability, attitude, and genuine interest in the work.

n

Why Join IMRA Surgical

n

Real ownership, early. You'll own a core manufacturing process rather than executing someone else's.

n

A proven pathway. Several of our strongest team members joined IMRA as graduates and have grown quickly into broader engineering and production roles.

n

Professional development. Continuous learning and growth through our training programs and Individual Development Plans for all employees.

n

Collaborative culture. A supportive, inclusive environment where teamwork is genuinely valued and good ideas get acted on.

n

Inherent Requirements of the Role

n

Before applying, please consider that this role involves:

n

Handling, using, storing, and disposing of materials and general laboratory and manufacturing chemicals used in IMRA's processes, including but not limited to 3D printing resins, IPA, cleaning agents, and hydrogel-related materials, in accordance with IMRA procedures, safety data sheets, training, and applicable safety requirements.

n

Working in laboratory, production, and workshop environments, including the use of appropriate PPE and adherence to IMRA's health, safety, quality, and operational procedures.

n

Reasonable manual handling, including moving, setting up, cleaning, and handling tooling, fixtures, equipment, materials, and production items, within safe manual handling limits and in accordance with IMRA procedures.

n

If you'd like to discuss workplace adjustments, please let us know as part of your application.

n

Location: IMRA Surgical, Port Melbourne

n

Work arrangement: Full time, in office

n

Employment type: Initial six-month contract, with the opportunity to extend
