Job Responsibility

  • Identify and lead large-scale projects that change department-level goals and advance Formlabs' business objectives
  • Drive the technical strategy and long-term roadmap for firmware and embedded software platforms, focusing on a 6 to 12+ month time horizon
  • Champion new technologies, vet risks, and find ways to test, learn, and scale incremental improvements and breakthroughs
  • Cross the hardware-software boundary, working closely with electrical and mechanical teams to guide hardware selection and system design from a software perspective
  • Partner with product managers and designers to define the product roadmap, ensuring technical feasibility and long-term scalability

Requirements

  • Extensive track record of shipping code for complex hardware products in consumer, medical, defense, or industrial space
  • Recognized subject matter expert in modern embedded software stacks, specifically C or C++
  • Ability to take high-level vision and context and nail down scope, design, and execution for a software feature and product
  • Experience architecting systems for the long term, choosing tech and frameworks for scalability and maintainability
  • Experience debugging difficult hardware and software interactions across multiple subsystems and domains
  • Ability to act as a technical bridge and advisor, translating high-level business goals into technical requirements
