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 electrical engineering team at Formlabs is responsible for designing circuits, sensors, and electromechanical systems, as well as developing embedded firmware for real-time control of hardware. If you are an electrical engineer with a strong grasp on embedded software development, or a software engineer with a good understanding of electronics fundamentals, you could be a good fit for the Embedded Hardware Engineer position.

We look for people who are passionate about learning and taking on new challenges, care about the bigger picture impact of their work, and are interested in building strong collaborative relationships with teammates and between teams.

You are highly encouraged to share an example of your work that demonstrates your skills and experience.

The Job:

  • Design and develop embedded systems and embedded firmware, including research/specification, prototyping, validation, and production release
  • Debug the hardware your code is running on (and if desired, grow into designing that hardware as well)
  • Own projects, not skills
  • - this role is for a "full-stack" engineer with a focus on shipping products, not a specialist in any one area of software or electronics engineering
  • Solve problems across technical domains and across the product development lifecycle, from early-stage research to field failures of products in mass production.
  • Grow into owning larger system architecture design and other forms of technical leadership if desired

You:

  • Have a minimum of 2 years experience developing firmware for ARM Cortex or equivalent microcontrollers in C or C (bare-metal or RTOS)
  • Have experience with developing software for embedded or desktop Linux systems (for example: device drivers, networking, or performance-sensitive applications)
  • Have a solid understanding of electronics fundamentals and hardware debugging
  • Experience with project management through a full hardware development lifecycle

Bonus Skills:

  • Experience with feedback control systems
  • Experience with PCB design and electronics prototyping
  • Experience with analog or power electronics

Our Perks & Benefits:

  • 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
  • Regular sponsored professional development opportunities
  • Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community
  • And of course… unlimited 3D prints

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.

Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing.
