Company mission
To bring powerful and accessible fabrication tools into the creative hands of professionals around the world.
Role
Who you are
- Have previous experience (5+ years post grad) designing complex electro-mechanical systems or robotic systems
- Knowledge of motion control, sensors, and control algorithms
- Experience managing system and subsystem requirements
- Well versed in hardware debugging and passionate about understanding why things work (or don’t!)
- Are comfortable working fluidly across engineering disciplines - from mechanical design to electrical engineering to embedded software
- Comfortable working on Linux systems and scripting with Python
- Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing
Desirable
- Familiarity with low-level embedded firmware (C++ preferred)
- Experience in data analysis and reporting
- Experience with consumer electronics and 3D printing
What the job involves
- This role involves supporting all parts of the product development cycle from early R+D to continuing engineering for shipped products
- In addition, you’ll collaborate closely with design teams to overcome cross-disciplinary problems and ensure that we ship quality products
- If you’re eager to collaborate with other talented engineers to support the full range of Formlabs products, we want you as a Senior Robotic Systems Integration Engineer
- Bring together firmware and hardware to enable subsystems in the printing pipeline, delivering fully-functional 3d printer prototypes
- Define and implement control algorithms and calibration procedures for complex electro-mechanical and electro-optical subsystems
- Developing sensor-based subsystems and characterization sensor performance
- Define and manage subsystem and system level requirements, ensuring engineering efforts are aligned with product needs
- Debug system level issues and work with the other engineering teams to implement design fixes
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.
