Do you want to change how the world creates? At Formlabs, we’re building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we’re helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before. We’re a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you’re ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us. The Print Optimization Team takes on the challenge of optimizing the intersection of hardware, software, and materials to deliver industry leading print performance. We strive to make our SLA & SLS product line print parts as quickly, reliably, easily, accurately, and beautifully as possible. We are a collaborative team, with a diverse background, passionate about pushing the boundaries of print performance across our product lines. As a 3D Print Optimization Engineer, you will be continuously using your problem-solving skills to drive improved performance. We are customer focused, and the first step in tackling the problem is understanding what the performance boost we are trying to achieve and how many customers will benefit. Will customers be able to print parts faster? More reliability? Will they be easier to post-process, or print more accurately? If you’re excited about process optimization, solving multi-disciplinary challenges, and bringing the best print performance to market, we want you as a Senior 3D Print Optimization Engineer.

Job Responsibility:

  • Push the capabilities of our SLA & SLS 3D printing platforms
  • Architect 3d printing optimization methodologies that result in better printer performance
  • Drive root cause analysis, considering mechanics, fluid dynamics, software, chemistry, optics, electronics, thermodynamics, and customer behavior
  • Design efficient experiments that tease out underlying behavior in a complicated system of variables
  • Tackle multi-disciplinary problems
  • Develop and commercialize solutions that make a real and immediate impact on customer print performance

Requirements:

  • 5+ year post-graduate experience
  • Experience in test design where results impact product performance
  • Shipped a product or process to end users
  • Are focused on the customer
  • Have a strong sense of ownership with great attention to detail
  • Are hands-on and willing to cross discipline boundaries to solve a problem
  • Work autonomously and learn new skills to tackle objective
