<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>About Formlabs:</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Do you want to change how the world creates?</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Why this role</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Most specialty materials are still made the way they have been for decades: weigh, mix in a tank, filter, fill. We think there’s a better way to make them, and we want you to invent it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Our R&D team creates innovative materials that push the limits of 3D printing, and we need proven manufacturing processes to produce our materials at scale and bring them to market. This isn’t a traditional process engineering role. You won’t be tuning existing equipment or running scale-up checklists. You’ll invent what materials manufacturing looks like next: set up proof of concept pilot processes for new manufacturing technologies, design new mixing and dispersion approaches, and smart control systems that catch a bad lot before it happens. You’ll prototype it, prove it, and put it on the plant floor.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">If you’ve ever looked at a production line, thought "there has to be a better way", and then built it, this is your job.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>No 3D printing experience required.</strong> We need someone who understands how materials behave at scale and can’t stop thinking of better ways to make them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>You might currently be called:</strong> Manufacturing Technology Engineer, Advanced Manufacturing Engineer, R&D Engineer, Innovation Engineer, Research Engineer, Technology Development Engineer, or Process Development Engineer.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>What you’ll own</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">An innovation roadmap for how Formlabs makes materials: where new technology could raise quality, cut cost, or let us make materials we can’t make today</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">New manufacturing approaches from idea to plant floor: concept, bench experiments, prototype equipment, pilot runs, and the business case to deploy</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Co-invention with R&D, so new materials and the methods that make them are designed together from day one</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Scouting existing technologies that will improve cost throughput quality and bringing the best ideas into Formlabs</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Handing proven innovations to the plant team, with the documentation and training to run them</span></li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Proving out at least one new manufacturing technology at bench or pilot scale, with a clear case for production</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>About you</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">4+ years building new manufacturing technology in chemicals, coatings, adhesives, inks, pharma, advanced materials, or a similar field, in industry</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A track record of introducing new manufacturing methods that has impacted product quality, cost or throughput </span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Strong grounding in the science of making materials: mixing, heat and mass transfer, and rheology of viscous or filled fluids </span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You move comfortably from first-principles thinking to a ben
