Embedded Hardware Engineer
Location: Somerville, MA
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.
The electrical engineering team at Formlabs is responsible for designing circuits, sensors, and electromechanical systems, as well as developing embedded firmware for real-time control of hardware. If you are an electrical engineer with a strong grasp on embedded software development, or a software engineer with a good understanding of electronics fundamentals, you could be a good fit for this role.
We look for people who are passionate about learning and taking on new challenges, care about the bigger picture impact of their work, and are interested in building strong collaborative relationships with teammates and between teams.
The Job:
- Design and develop embedded systems and embedded firmware, including research/specification, prototyping, validation, and production release
- Debug the hardware your code is running on (and if desired, grow into designing that hardware as well)
- Own projects, not skills -- this role is for a “full-stack” engineer with a focus on shipping products, not a specialist in any one area of software or electronics engineering
- Solve problems across technical domains and across the product development lifecycle, from early-stage research to field failures of products in mass production.
- Grow into owning larger system architecture design and other forms of technical leadership if desired
You:
- Have a minimum of 2 years experience developing firmware for ARM Cortex or equivalent microcontrollers in C++ or C (bare-metal or RTOS)
- Have experience with developing software for embedded or desktop Linux systems (for example: device drivers, networking, or performance-sensitive applications)
- Have a solid understanding of electronics fundamentals and hardware debugging
- Experience with project management through a full hardware development lifecycle
Bonus Skills:
- Experience with feedback control systems
- Experience with PCB design and electronics prototyping
- Experience with analog or power electronics
Our Perks & Benefits:
- Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
- Low cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors
- Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)

Hybrid Workspace
Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
Building the 3D tools of the future is not an easy task. To reach this ambitious goal, we need to react fast, iterate, and make changes on the fly. Our teams observe a flexible hybrid, where we all aim to be in office 3 days/week when possible.
