Technical Projects Coordinator (Part-Time)
Location: Pilsen Chicago, IL 60608
Hours: 10–30 hours per week (flexible)
Start Date: January
Hourly compensation: $30-$33/hr
About Phase3D:
We are developing computer vision technology which performs in-situ monitoring for industrial 3D printing (additive manufacturing, AM). This technology dramatically changes the metal AM industry by providing immediate component certification and early cancellation of defective builds. Our vision is to provide the additive manufacturing industry with a trusted method to validate part quality in real time.
The Phase3D headquarters is in Chicago, located 5 miles from the Chicago Loop. We work closely with federal scientists and engineers to develop machine vision technology for additive manufacturing (camera and software based). We have established research partnerships with multiple national laboratories, US departments, NASA, and research institutions.
About Phase3D Culture:
Phase3D is currently a small team, comprised of independent thinkers, working to solve challenges in software development, data analysis, mechatronics, electrical engineering, and computer engineering. We are a cross-disciplined group and are excited to be pioneers in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence and machine learning for 3D printing. This is a fast-paced, startup work environment, but with the resources and facilities of a US national Laboratory. This means a lot of variability of workflow and responsibilities, with an emphasis on creative problem solving. You will have the chance to be a part of a team making headlines in the 3D printing world.
About the Role
We’re a small engineering team building advanced sensors for metal 3D printing. We’re looking for a sharp, reliable person to support our engineering group by keeping projects moving, managing day-to-day operations, and helping the team work more effectively.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, operations, and hands-on technical work. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, take ownership of real responsibilities, and gain exposure to how hardware and software projects move from idea to execution.

- Coordinate product assembly and engineering
- Organize documentation, procedures, notes, and technical resources
- Support testing, research, and tooling tasks
- Run light experiments and assist with basic data collection
- Manage part production workflows and track progress
- Receive, organize, and log incoming goods and components
- Coordinate with vendors and suppliers
- Organize and maintain office and lab spaces
- Plan and coordinate team travel
- Improve internal processes and workflows
- Work with customers who need support
What We’re Looking For
- Organized, curious, and dependable
- Clear communicator who asks thoughtful questions
- Comfortable in a technical environment
- Able to manage multiple moving pieces
- Takes initiative and follows through
Relevant backgrounds may include engineering, computer science, physics, math, product, operations, or related fields, but none are required.
What We Offer
- Flexible part-time hours (10–30 hours/week)
- Meaningful responsibility and real ownership
- Close collaboration with experienced engineers
- Mentorship and learning opportunities
