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 and benchtop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world.
3D printers are made up of several complex hardware sub-systems, such as optical systems, resin management systems, and air handling systems to name a few. The Hardware Systems Engineering team develops and delivers complete hardware solutions that ship in our 3D printers. The Hardware Systems Engineering team is composed of a diverse set of engineers ranging from design to integration to reliability. If you're looking to lead and develop a team of talented engineers as we create next-generation digital fabrication technology, then we want you as our Robotic Systems Engineering Manager.
The Job:
- Build and lead a diverse team of engineers including systems, thermal, optical, firmware integration, and reliability engineers
- You and your team will deliver fully integrated, reliability tested, complex hardware modules for digital fabrication tools
- Take a hands-on approach to technology development as a core technical contributor for 3D printer development, you will need to balance customer value, cost, and engineering effort to consistently deploy optimal solutions
