To reinvent an industry, you have to build the best team. Join Formlabs if you want to bring groundbreaking professional 3D printers to the desktop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world.
Our growing print process team is a mix of mechanical, systems, and software engineers. We are the mad scientists that develop and improve the Formlabs printing process. Our team works closely with other engineering teams to research and product develop Formlabs next-generation printers and materials. We use engineering, physics, and experimentation to turn goop into beautiful and accurate parts.
Do you regularly imagine how to make a complex system work better? Do you love hacking and DIY projects? Do you want to make something that hasn't been done before? We want you as a Senior R&D Engineer.
The Job:
- Create new 3D printing techniques - from developing new printer architectures to validating minute changes in galvo control
- Opportunity to lead projects and investigate new technologies
- Tackle complex and open-ended problems across multiple engineering disciplines
- Perform experiments and use the results to inform and develop improvements in software or hardware
- Evaluate current printer performance for areas for improvement
- Partner with other engineering teams to implement improvements to current products such as redesigning support structure algorithm based on experimental results
You:
- 3+ years post graduate experience
- Questions assumptions and willing to back it up with data
- Autonomously works to research, report results, and make recommendations for next steps
- Have experience with experiment design and data analysis
- A website or portfolio document showing off your current and past projects
- Understand programming and scientific computing, ideally Python or Matlab
- Familiar with mechanical design, mechatronics, and CAD modeling
- B.S., M.S., or PhD in an engineering field (all are welcome)
Bonus Skills (Optional):
- Previous work on a consumer product
- Developed physics-based models of complex systems
Our Perks:
- Flexible Vacation
- Premium coverage for medical, dental, and vision plans
- Paid parental leave
- Commuter benefits
- Unlimited 3D print
