120000.00 - 250000.00 USD / Year

Job Description:

Your mandate is to act as a mini-CEO: rapidly identify, develop, and scale new product lines and ventures within Formlabs. We value bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes. We are seeking results-focused leaders/entrepreneurs who can quickly pivot and take charge. Your contribution will span the product cycle, from deep R&D to global-scale shipping across hardware, software, materials science, and business functions.

Job Responsibility:

  • Define Product Strategy & Vision: Act as the ultimate Product Owner, creating products and services that define the future of digital manufacturing by identifying unmet user needs and high-potential market gaps
  • Own Business Outcomes: Don’t just manage projects—drive P&L results by identifying new market opportunities and scaling existing business units
  • Build & Lead: Create and lead multi-disciplinary teams of talented engineers, operators, and designers. Hire and mentor the next generation of Formlabs leaders
  • Take Decisive Action: Make crucial, high-stakes decisions that directly impact our core technology and business trajectory
  • Embrace the Ambiguity: Work at the intersection of complex disciplines (engineering, sales, manufacturing, marketing) and take full ownership to get the job done

Requirements:

  • Proven Entrepreneurial Experience: You have previously built a business or significant venture (technology startup experience is ideal), demonstrating a high tolerance for risk and a bias for action
  • Comfort with Breadth: You have direct experience creating multi-disciplinary technology products and understand the full lifecycle from ideation to scale
  • Ownership & Hustle: You possess the “get it done” mindset—the hustle to do whatever it takes, whether it’s pitching a customer, setting up a supply chain, or debugging a prototype
  • Adaptive Leadership: You excel at both hiring and leading teams and are energized by a constantly changing, high-standard environment

Nice to have:

  • Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Degree, or related
  • Entrepreneurial experience, such as founding your own business
  • MBA or experience in a consulting role
  • Familiarity with manufacturing, regulatory, or product standards and compliance in industries like healthcare, pharma, or life sciences
  • Experience with 3D printing technologies and materials
  • Familiarity with Tableau or SQL
What we offer:
  • Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
  • Low-cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors
  • Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)
  • Tenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)
  • Flexible Out of Office Plan – Take time when you need it
  • Ample on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Healthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats
  • Regularly sponsored professional development opportunities
  • Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community
  • unlimited 3D prints

  • 2+ years of experience in high-intensity, high-velocity 1) startups, as an early-employee or founder 2) top-tier consulting, IB, PE or similar fast-paced environments.
  • You're a do-er. You are happy to roll up your sleeves and get stuff done - from slides for an internal meeting to a demo for a client.
  • You're an expert at taking end-to-end ownership of broad, ambiguous problems and thinking from first principles to achieve a result.
  • You're obsessed with achieving an objective and getting results. You work best when given an outcome to aim towards, and iterating autonomously (collaborating with the rest of the team/pulling people in as needed) to find a way there. You don't take no for an answer
  • you are scrappy and resourceful.
  • You're an entrepreneur and want to be a part of building a business from the ground up. You're good at context-switching and jumping from a candidate interview, to an excel model, to a vision-pitch draft.
  • You're probably happiest when working really hard and solving challenging problems. You know this requires dedication and some sacrifice but you think it's worth it. You work hard and smartly - you're always thinking of ways to accomplish more with the time and energy you have.
  • You're detail oriented and organized, and you proactively pull others in when you need help before you get stuck. Your team is always up to date on where projects are and rarely do you find things slip, even when covering a large surface area.
