About the role

About Formlabs:

A 3D printer is one of the most demanding machines you can build.

Lasers, optics, precision motion, thermals, airflow, materials handling, chemistry, sensing, controls, and software all have to work at micron-scale precision, for thousands of layers, with almost no tolerance for error. Making that work reliably is an extraordinary engineering problem.

That’s what we do.

At Formlabs, we’re building 3D printers that are changing the way things get made. We have the smartest minds across every engineering discipline, and the technology they’re building is deployed at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA.

If you’re energized by the idea of making the impossible happen, come join us as a Senior Electrical Engineer.

Include an example of your work with your application to show us what you can do

 The Job:

  • Design and build prototypes and production electronic systems, including circuit design, PCB layout, bring up, and validation
  • Design sensing and motion systems from scratch when off the shelf options have been proven unsuitable
  • Apply a scientific approach to engineering design problems by creating experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and making informed decisions
  • Grow into owning system-level architecture and mentoring other engineers

You:

  • Have a minimum of 2 years of experience designing production-ready electronics
  • Can share a portfolio that demonstrates your skills and experience
  • Are able to support your design choices with data
  • Experience with MCU pin and peripheral mapping
  • Are hands-on and interested in supporting your designs throughout the product lifecycle, from early research to debugging field failures

Bonus Skills: 

  • Experience with line-voltage or high-power electronics
  • Experience with signal processing and/or digital feedback control systems
  • Experience debugging signal integrity and EMC issues

Our Perks & Benefits:

  • Unlimited 3D printing with any Formlabs material on any Formlabs printer
  • An equity program that will let you build wealth through RSUs
  • Healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision) that includes a totally free employee-only plan, effective starting on your first day on the job
  • 401K matching with no vesting or tenure requirement
  • Generous parental leave (fully paid up to 16 weeks)
  • Flexible time off so you can take time when you need it
  • Six-week fully paid sabbatical after hitting tenure milestones (with the option to take an additional six weeks after that)
  • Free on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Free on-site lunch, snacks, beverages, treats, beer kegs, and employee-favorite local coffee and espresso
  • Self-driven professional development opportunities like conferences, trade shows, and hackathons
  • One-of-a-kind activities and events like monthly socials, the annual weekend summer camp, a can’t-miss company hackathon, and lots of other social opportunities

You don’t need to check every box to apply for a role. If you love working with hardware, spending time with smart people, solving hard problems, and winning, we want to hear from you.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.  We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
