Print Farm/Production Technician Job Posting

Join Shop Nation LLC as a Full-Time Print Farm/Production Tech! In this role, you'll be responsible for working with our Print Farm Manager to manage production of our growing 3D Print Farm as well as ship product out to customers. We're looking for a self-starter with a keen eye for detail and motivated to help grow a company. If this sounds like you and want to be part of a dynamic team, we'd love to hear from you!

Position Overview

Job Title

Production Technician – 3D Print Farm

Location

[On-site / Beavercreek/Kettering, OH]

Employment Type

[Full-time]

About the Role

We’re a fast-growing e-commerce brand grown from a YouTube channel in the tooling space, and our 3D print farm is where ideas turn into real products that ship to customers every day.

We’re looking for a Production Technician to join the team and work under our Print Farm Manager to keep the printers running, products assembled, and orders heading out the door. This is a hands-on role for someone who likes making things, solving small problems, and being part of a scrappy team that’s scaling fast.

If you enjoy working with your hands, don’t mind getting a little dusty, and like seeing the direct impact of your work, you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Running and monitoring multiple 3D printers throughout the day

  • Loading print jobs, removing parts, and handling basic post-processing (support removal, cleanup, etc.)

  • Catching print issues early and flagging problems to the Print Farm Manager

  • Assembling printed components into finished, ready-to-ship products

  • Performing quality checks to make sure parts meet our standards

  • Picking, packing, and preparing customer orders for shipment

  • Keeping the print farm clean, organized, and running smoothly

  • Helping track parts, materials, and production progress

  • Pitching in wherever needed — this is a startup, and teamwork matters

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong attention to detail (small mistakes add up in production)

  • Comfort working in a hands-on, fast-paced environment

  • Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to [50] lbs

  • Basic mechanical aptitude and a willingness to learn

  • Reliable, punctual, and takes ownership of their work

  • Basic computer skills for tracking jobs and orders

Nice to Have (But We Can Teach You)

  • Experience with 3D printing (especially FDM/FFF printers)

  • Light manufacturing, assembly, or fulfillment experience

  • Familiarity with plastics, tools, or post-processing work

  • A general interest in making things or how products are built

Career Growth Path

This isn’t a dead-end production role. As we grow, so does the team — and we like promoting from within.

Typical growth path may include:

  • Production Technician – Learn the machines, processes, and products

  • Print Farm Lead / Supervisor – Manage day-to-day production, scheduling, and quality

  • Print Farm Manager or Operations Role – Oversee scaling, optimization, and team leadership

Growth depends on performance, initiative, and the company’s expansion — but the opportunity is real.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly pay

  • Hands-on experience with a high-volume 3D print farm

  • Real opportunity for advancement as the company grows

  • A small team where your work actually matters

  • A startup environment: fast-moving, practical, and no corporate nonsense

  • Relaxed setting
