Medical 3D Printing Engineer (1-Year Contract)

About the role

A Medical 3D Printing Engineer is sought to support and expand clinical 3D printing services in a multidisciplinary healthcare setting. The role translates medical imaging data into patient-specific solutions such as anatomical models, surgical guides and medical devices, working closely with clinicians, radiographers and researchers. It is a rostered position across Tan Tock Seng Hospital, National University Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Woodlands Health Campus.

Key responsibilities

• Work with clinicians to turn their needs into 3D printing solutions, perform image segmentation and anatomical model reconstruction, and ensure models are accurate and clinically useful.
• Operate and manage 3D printing systems across hospital sites and produce surgical planning models, surgical guides, prosthetics and orthotics, educational models and other patient-specific devices, choosing materials and technologies suited to each case.
• Run quality assurance checks and maintain design, quality/validation and process documentation in line with hospital policy, regulatory requirements and patient data confidentiality.
• Process DICOM data with medical imaging software (e.g. 3D Slicer, Mimics or equivalent), prepare STL files and meshes, and maintain reproducible digital workflows.
• Maintain 3D printing equipment, troubleshoot issues, help evaluate new technologies and contribute to research and service development.

Required profile

• Degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience in medical 3D printing or healthcare-related engineering is preferred.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams, and effective communication with clinical and technical stakeholders.

Required skills

• Medical image processing (e.g. 3D Slicer, Mimics)
• CAD and 3D modelling tools
• Additive manufacturing technologies and materials
• Understanding of anatomy and clinical applications (preferred)
