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.
Materials development presents one of the greatest opportunities to innovate in 3D printing, unlocking new applications in different industries such as engineering, consumer, manufacturing, automotive and healthcare. Our materials science team works closely with product management, hardware and software teams to develop new materials that push the boundaries of what can be done with 3D printing.
If you are a scientist or engineer with experience in polymer development who’s excited to break new ground in an industry that’s moving at lightning speed, we want you as a Materials Scientist.
Conduct research and develop world-class materials for 3D printing from initial lab explorations to validation and commercialization
Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to ensure new and existing materials print on our hardware seamlessly and reliably
Design and perform experiments, and use the results to inform and develop materials performance improvements
Partner with product management, hardware, and software engineers to continuously improve our materials
A creative and resourceful problem-solver, balancing speed and scientific rigor in a dynamic environment
