Formlabs is a 3D printing company powering innovation at over 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. We're building tools that enable anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices.
As a Mechanical Engineer, you'll be part of a team of hands-on builders and innovators designing the mechanisms and systems that make our printers function with precision and reliability. You'll work on devices that not only create beautiful parts but also reflect careful user experience design.
Key responsibilities:
- Prototype new mechanisms, test materials, and research 3D printing challenges
- Analyze, test, validate, and iterate on electro-mechanical systems
- Create detailed designs in CAD and well-specified, accurate drawings
- Collaborate with Global Sourcing and Manufacturing Teams to bring designs from prototype to mass production
- Push the capabilities of 3D printing technology
- Strive to maximize customer value
- Engineer the most amazing desktop 3D printer on the market
You should enjoy the gritty details of part design, material selection, and manufacturing techniques. You'll craft elegant designs that function with efficiency and simplicity, using 3D CAD tools (Solidworks/Onshape) to design components, produce drawings, and build assemblies. You're familiar with a variety of manufacturing techniques including injection molding and sheet metal fabrication, and can prototype your own designs in a well-equipped shop.
The ideal candidate has experience with the full product development cycle, can communicate seamlessly with vendors and suppliers across the globe, and is hands-on and willing to cross discipline boundaries to solve problems. You want to build a precision tool that is beautiful inside and out.
Bonus skills include programming (Python), experience working with contract manufacturers, PLM/document control systems, and industrial design.
