Formlabs is looking to solve the problem of bringing groundbreaking professional 3D printers to the desktop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world by ensuring printer success through deep technical knowledge of mechatronics and an evolving understanding of product behavior in the field.
Requirements
- Have previous experience (3+ years) designing complex electro-mechanical systems or robotic systems.
- Knowledge of motion control, sensors, and control algorithms.
- Experience managing system and subsystem requirements.
- Well versed in hardware debugging and passionate about understanding why things work (or don't!)
- Are comfortable working fluidly across engineering disciplines - from mechanical design to electrical engineering to embedded software.
- Comfortable working on Linux systems and scripting with Python
- Familiarity with low-level embedded firmware (C++ preferred)
Responsibilities
- Bring together firmware and hardware to enable subsystems in the printing pipeline, delivering fully-functional 3d printer prototypes.
- Define and implement control algorithms and calibration procedures for complex electro-mechanical and electro-optical subsystems.
- Developing sensor-based subsystems and characterization sensor performance.
- Define and manage subsystem and system level requirements, ensuring engineering efforts are aligned with product needs.
- Debug system level issues and work with the other engineering teams to implement design fixes.
Other
- Collaborate closely with design teams to overcome cross-disciplinary problems and ensure that we ship quality products.
- Eager to collaborate with other talented engineers to support the full range of Formlabs products
- Experience in data analysis and reporting
- Experience with consumer electronics and 3D printing
- Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply.
