Electrical Engineer

Formlabs • Somerville, MA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Formlabs is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join their team. This role bridges the gap between the analog and digital worlds, focusing on designing and building boards from the ground up, developing firmware for electromechanical systems, and creating elegant solutions to real-world problems. The position is for a "full-stack" engineer with a focus on shipping products, not a specialist in any one area of electronics engineering. Engineers at Formlabs are encouraged to grow into deep technical experts, system architects, product technical leads, and team leaders/managers.

Requirements

• A minimum of 2 years of experience designing and debugging electronics that have gone into products
• An electrical engineering generalist, comfortable with analog and digital design, PCB layout, validation, and debugging techniques
• Comfortable working with electronics that interact with the physical world -- our most complex problems tend to involve the integration of electronics, mechanical designs, and software.
• Hands-on and interested in supporting your designs throughout the product life cycle, from early research to debugging field failures

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with embedded software development, for example: microcontroller firmware developed in C or C++, device drivers or board support packages for embedded Linux systems, or C++ application development.
• Hardware design is a core part of our team’s responsibilities, but we also extend into low-level software development when knowledge of the physical system is key to writing the best code.

Responsibilities

• Design and build prototypes and production electronic systems, including circuit design, PCB layout, embedded firmware development, bring up and validation
• 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 electronics engineering
• Go beyond the board -- be responsible for the design of subsystems such as sensors, actuators, and optoelectronics that require tradeoffs between electrical and mechanical requirements
• Back up your design decisions with data gathered through simulations and experiments

Benefits

• Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
• 401K matching and access to financial 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
• Unlimited 3D prints
