- Manufacturing & Quality Assurance: Oversee digital production equipment (3D printers, milling machines, scanners) and perform final technical QC to guarantee precise fit, function, and aesthetics.
- Client Relations & Technical Support: Serve as a primary technical point of contact for doctors and prospective clients, offering clinical design consultations and case troubleshooting.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Experience: 3+ years in a supervisory or management role within a commercial dental laboratory.
- Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Exocad, 3Shape, or both.
- Clinical Expertise: Demonstrated mastery of full-arch/All-on-X restorations and complex implant prosthetics.
- Communication: Exceptional professional English (written and verbal) for internal leadership and client-facing communication.
- Location: Southern California-based preferred; nationwide candidates requiring relocation are strongly encouraged to apply.

- Base Salary: $110,000 – $145,000 annually (commensurate with experience, with flexibility for elite candidates).
- Relocation Package: Financial assistance and support provided for qualified out-of-area hires relocating to Southern California.
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
- Paid Time Off: Paid vacation, personal days, and company holidays.
- Retirement Plan: 401(k) with company match/contributions.
- Professional Development: Ongoing training, certification opportunities, and lab technology upgrades.
