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
Our growing R&D team is a mix of mechanical, systems, and software engineers. We develop and maintain the Formlabs printing process. Our team works closely with other engineering teams to research next-generation printers and materials. We use engineering, physics, and experimentation to turn ideas into beautiful and reliable products. If you are a systems thinker who enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary environment we would love you to join our R&D team as a 3D Printing R&D Engineer. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Questions assumptions and are willing to back it up with data
- Have experience with experiment design and data analysis to inform design decisions
- Able to design and build test fixtures for experiments
- 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
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.
