Print Process Engineer
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 print process team is a mix of mechanical, systems, and software engineers. We are the mad scientists that develop and maintain the Formlabs printing process. Our team works closely with other engineering teams to research produce next generation printers and materials. We use engineering, physics, and experimentation to turn goop into beautiful and accurate parts.
Do you love hacking and DIY projects? Are you obsessed with figuring out how to make a complex system work better? We want you as a Print Process Engineer.
The Job:
- Design, build, and innovate new 3D printing techniques - from developing new printer architectures to validating minute changes in galvo control
- Tackle complex and open-ended problems across multiple engineering disciplines
- Design and execute experiments and use the results to inform and develop improvements in software or hardware
- Evaluate current printer performance for areas for improvement
- Work across teams to implement improvements to current products such as redesigning support structure algorithm based on experiment results
You:
- Are willing to question assumptions and back it up with data
- Able to work autonomously to research
- Have experience with experiment design and data analysis
