What they're looking for
- Push the capabilities of our SLA & SLS 3D printing platforms
- Drive root cause analysis, considering mechanics, fluid dynamics, software, chemistry, optics, electronics, thermodynamics, and customer behavior
- Design efficient experiments that tease out underlying behavior in a complicated system of variables
- Tackle multi-disciplinary problems
- Develop and commercialize solutions that make a real and immediate impact on customer print performance
More about this role
A 3D printer is one of the most demanding machines you can build.
Lasers, optics, precision motion, thermals, airflow, materials handling, chemistry, sensing, controls, and software all have to work at micron-scale precision, for thousands of layers, with almost no tolerance for error. Making that work reliably is an extraordinary engineering problem.
That’s what we do.
At Formlabs, we’re building 3D printers that are changing the way things get made. We have the smartest minds across every engineering discipline, and the technology they’re building is deployed at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA.
The Print Optimization Team takes on the challenge of optimizing the intersection of hardware, software, and materials to deliver industry leading print performance. We strive to make our SLA & SLS product line print parts as quickly, reliably, easily, accurately, and beautifully as possible. We are a collaborative team, with a diverse background, passionate about pushing the boundaries of print performance across our product lines.
