- Bachelors in Engineering or equivalent experience
- Passion for understanding why things don’t work!
- Hands-on experience debugging hardware
- Experience in data analysis and experimental design
- Familiarity with CAD
- Familiarity with scripting in Python for data analysis
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail

What the job involves
- The Systems Print Engineers at Markforged are multidisciplinary engineers that implement processes, testing, and tooling to solve the intrinsically hard problems of building easy-to-use and “just-press-print” 3D printers
- We are the glue that pulls together the traditional engineering disciplines to make the printing process reliable and perform exceptionally
- As a Systems Print Engineer, you will become a system-level expert with our printing technology
- You will apply 1st principles and multi-disciplinary engineering to the printing process that discovers & delivers success metrics to achieve maximum printing performance
- You will be required to build strong cross-disciplinary relationships as you work together with other engineering teams to deliver results
- You will spend most of your time working in the printer labs to be hands-on with implementing & facilitating development projects
- Follow process and be hands-on with the validation of new print system hardware, new printing materials, and new printer features to ensure we ship high quality products
- Execute experiments & use tooling that apply to the printer systems to facilitate root cause analysis, validate system functionality, and identify new areas for improvement
- Responsible for validating technical success metrics around print quality & product performance based on product requirements (e.g. part dimensional accuracy, surface quality, mechanical properties, etc.)
- Contribute in root cause analysis to debug print failures internally and from the customer field, as well as work with other teams to implement fixes
- Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to build the knowledge required to be a printer expert. For example:
- Work with our slicer software team execute test plans that tune new print settings to optimize for print performance
- Work with our hardware teams in the design of new print system hardware by executing test plans that validate the print performance
Our take
Markforged develops and manufactures metal and carbon fibre 3D printers. There’s been a huge surge in 3D printing businesses as technology improves and demand grows, and so there’s plenty of competition for Markforged in the form of companies such as Desktop Metal, Formlabs and Stratasys.
3D printing has seen some strong growth in recent years, and that’s expected to continue as companies look to the technology to expand beyond the rapid prototyping for which it’s best known. Metal printing from the likes of Markforged and competitors including Desktop Metal are seen as an important step, offering far more durability than plastic deposits.
The business has strong clients, including Disney, NASA, Rolls-Royce, and the US Air Force. And in 2023, it launched the FX10, its first industrial 3D printer capable of printing both metal and advanced composites. Alongside this, the company is set for new growth, having recently been acquired by Nano Dimension. This merger will strengthen their position in the 3D printing market, combining expertise in composite and metal solutions with Nano Dimension's digital manufacturing innovations.
