Our take
Formlabs' founders met at MIT in 2011, and set about creating a company that would disrupt the 3D printing market. While the majority of the industry was experiencing a crash, Formlabs managed to buck the trend by implementing additive manufacturing (stereolithography) to a desktop form factor. While many 3D printing manufacturers have tried in vain to market their hardware to home users, Formlabs has maintained a laser-sharp focus on serving the needs of professionals and large-scale companies such as Coke and Sony. Striving to keep costs low while maintaining an optimal user experience, the company has sold well over 100,000 printers. With considerable funding at its back, Formlabs has continued to develop new solutions such as a series of mass manufacturing solutions that enable its customers to dramatically increase their 3D printing output. As the largest supplier of professional SLA and SLS 3D printers in the world, the company is well set to further its position and achieve further global growth.
You'll be working on
- In this role, you will work cross-functionally and have a pivotal role in the research, development, and implementation of new products
- You will innovate new ways of doing things and work with the design teams to move 3d printing technology forward
- This role requires systems thinking, the ability to research and test new ideas and convert them to functional prototypes, and finally partnering with design engineers to get a final design into manufacturing
We're looking for
- 5+ years of hands-on, mechanism and mechatronic product design experience, including contributing to the system architecture of a product
- Experience with cross-disciplinary hardware prototyping, including mechanical, electrical, and software
- Experience working with and controlling sensors and actuators
- Knowledge of high-volume manufacturing techniques
- Experience with statistical tolerance analysis techniques for precision mechanical design
- Testing and analysis experience with a focus on hands-on testing, with some simulation experience
- Working knowledge in material properties of plastics, metals, and adhesives
- Strong analytical skills, data-driven decision making
- Even if you don’t check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply
