We are seeking results-focused leaders/entrepreneurs who can quickly pivot and take charge.
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.
Your mandate is to act as a mini-CEO: rapidly identify, develop, and scale new product lines and ventures within Formlabs. We value bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes.
We are seeking results-focused leaders/entrepreneurs who can quickly pivot and take charge. Your contribution will span the product cycle, from deep R&D to global-scale shipping across hardware, software, materials science, and business functions.
Build & Lead: Create and lead multi-disciplinary teams of talented engineers, operators, and designers. Hire and mentor the next generation of Formlabs leaders
Dive Deep: Roll up your sleeves to build complex, electro-mechanical robotic products as we continue to explore new technologies, applications, and market opportunities within R&D.
Take Decisive Action: Make crucial, high-stakes decisions that directly impact our core technology and business trajectory.
Embrace the Ambiguity: Work at the intersection of complex disciplines (engineering, sales, manufacturing, marketing) and take full ownership to get the job done.
You are technical. You likely have an engineering degree of some sort. Or better yet, you left school a bit early to go build something you were too excited to wait for.
You are a tinkerer and/or an ex-co-founder who thrives on complexity and doesn’t wait for permission. You get results.
Proven Entrepreneurial Experience: You have previously built a business or significant venture (technology startup experience is ideal), demonstrating a high tolerance for risk and a bias for action.
Comfort with Breadth: You have direct experience creating multi-disciplinary technology products and understand the full lifecycle from ideation to scale.
Ownership & Hustle: You possess the “get it done” mindset—the hustle to do whatever it takes, whether it’s pitching a customer, setting up a supply chain, or debugging a prototype.
Adaptive Leadership: You excel at both hiring and leading teams and are energized by a constantly changing, high-standard environment.
The standard is high, and the work is hard. Success here means you will be fundamentally changing digital manufacturing for designers, engineers, researchers, and artists everywhere.
Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Degree, or related
Entrepreneurial experience, such as founding your own business.
MBA or experience in a consulting role
Familiarity with manufacturing, regulatory, or product standards and compliance in industries like healthcare, pharma, or life sciences.
Experience with 3D printing technologies and materials.
Familiarity with Tableau or SQL.
