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.
Our passion is designing and building powerful 3D printing tools. Our manufacturing team is responsible for research and development of the manufacturing processes for all of Formlabs products. They work cross functionally with mechanical design, electrical, and materials teams.
If you’re excited to own an independent internship project within the manufacturing team, we want you as a Manufacturing Engineering Intern.
Internship Term: Summer 2025 (June 3 - August 22)
Commitment: Full-time
Location: Onsite in Somerville, MA
The Job:
- As the principal investigator, conduct a research project on how manufacturing and/or calibration variations in a given printer subsystem affect Factory Test Print (FTP) performance and develop a proposal to improve the first-pass yield.
- Support the continuous improvement of test and calibration fixtures (e.g. tensioner, accelerometer, etc.), including fixture redesign, qualification, inventory / asset management, and preventive maintenance plans.
- Co-develop methods, processes, procedures, and work instructions to support building our next generation products.
You:
- Have working proficiency with CAD (e.g. Fusion, Solidworks, etc.) and 2D drawing creation
- Hands-on, self-motivated, and love to work on hardware
- Skilled at debugging, testing, and identifying the root causes of problems
- Organized, meticulous, and detail-oriented
- Independent, self-starter with strong communication skills
- Experience with statistical analysis and data visualization tools (SQL, Tableau, JMP, Minitab, etc)

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.
