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 growing Hardware Systems Engineering team is looking for a Display Engineer. In this role, your primary responsibility will be focused on display hardware development and validation for 3d printer products. You will collaborate closely with multi-functional teams and suppliers to ensure the successful implementation of new display technologies and drive engineering excellence from initial concept to final mass production. This pivotal position demands proactive problem-solving across technical domains. A successful candidate needs to be highly independent and results-driven, have strong presentation and communication skills, and can thrive in a fast-paced and highly dynamic environment. If this sounds like you, please join our team as a Senior Display Engineer.
The Job:
- Own overall optical and module master specifications from initial concept to mass production and drive rigorous validation plan to meet performance
- Collaborate with multi-functional teams and key stakeholders to iterate design, set clear goals and priorities throughout the product development phases, drive display module design convergence, and ensure successful display product ramp
- Identify and assess critical metrics affecting display performance, analyze experimental and build data, address process limitations, and follow through between modeling and as-built performance
- Ability to Communicate effectively across the organization, influence other teams, manage risk, make decisions with limited amount of information, and deliver against a fast-paced development schedule are key requirements
- Systems level thinking - We are looking for someone who can define the requirements of the system, not just develop one to a predefined spec
You:
- 5+ years of experience in display hardware development, validation, and research. Proven track record in product development of an LCD display system from concept to mass production
- Expertise with deep understanding of optics, image processing, and display technologies such as LCD, TFT, LED and uLED
- Understanding of display driver technologies and experience working with vendors to develop unique driver electronics
- Multiple experiences in bringing products mass production and managing domestic and international vendors
- Strong working knowledge of display-related calibration and metrology methods
Bonus:
- Proficiency in programming languages (e.g. Python), and optical simulators (e.g., Zemax or LightTools)
Our Perks & Benefits:
- Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
