About Formlabs

Formlabs is the largest supplier of professional stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printers in the world. Backed by NEA, SoftBank VF and SOSV.

About the role

Firmware turns a Formlabs printer from a box of boards, motors, lasers, and sensors into a machine people trust for a 12-hour print. It runs on more than 130,000 printers in dental labs, hospitals, factories, and engineering teams, from the Form 4 and Form 4L to the Fuse 1+ and Fuse X1. As our Embedded Engineering Manager , you'll lead the embedded software team that writes it, across microcontrollers and embedded Linux. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experienced embedded software engineer who has shipped production firmware in C and C++ for complex electromechanical products such as robots, consumer electronics, medical devices or industrial equipment
  • You've led a team of embedded or firmware engineers, including hiring and managing performance
  • You've taken multiple products from prototype to volume production and supported them after launch
  • You're comfortable working from bare-metal microcontrollers to embedded Linux and multicore processors, using Python for tooling and testing
  • You've brought up boards and peripherals yourself (ADC, PWM, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet), can read a schematic, and debug with a scope and logic analyzer
  • You can profile and optimize firmware for performance, memory, and power, and diagnose problems across several connected controllers using logs and trace data
