  • Work with the Fab Lab Manager to develop training and certification programs for equipment usage.
  • Consult with students and educators on design and fabrication techniques.
  • Supervise and mentor student assistants and teaching aides.
  • Manage inventory, maintenance logs, and equipment check-in/check-out processes.
  • Conduct workshops and classes for staff, students, and community members in collaboration with the STEAM team.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all activities.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience with digital fabrication tools and design software.
  • Experience in teaching or mentoring within a makerspace setting.
  • Familiarity with creative technologies beyond the Design Lab, such as coding, electronics, and large-format printing.
  • Proficient in quickly learning new technologies and software.
  • Able to engage with a diverse audience of varying skill levels.
  • Exhibit a creative mindset and collaborative spirit.
  • Self-motivated with strong problem-solving skills in a dynamic environment.
  • Meticulous attention to detail.
  • Proficient in Adobe Illustrator and TinkerCAD.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Excellent organizational and time management abilities.
  • Passionate about the mission and vision of TPZ.
  • Bilingual in Spanish, Portuguese, or Haitian Creole is a plus.
