About The Position

Formlabs is hiring an Electrical Engineer to design and build prototype and production electronic systems for its 3D printers. The role spans circuit design, PCB layout, bring-up, and validation, with an emphasis on owning projects and shipping products rather than specializing in a single area of electronics engineering. Engineers are responsible for subsystem design—including sensors, actuators, and optoelectronics—and must balance electrical and mechanical requirements. Design decisions are supported by data from simulations and experiments. The role offers opportunities to develop toward deep technical expertise, systems architecture, product technical leadership, or team leadership and management. Applicants should include an example of their work with their application.

Requirements

Broad electrical engineering skills, including comfort with analog and digital design, PCB layout, validation, and debugging.
Comfort working with electronics that interact with the physical world, including integration of electronics, mechanical designs, and systems.
Hands-on approach and interest in supporting designs throughout the product life cycle, from early research to debugging field failures.
Include an example of your work with the application.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with embedded software development, such as microcontroller firmware in C or C++, device drivers or board support packages for embedded Linux systems, or C++ application development.

Responsibilities

Design and build prototype and production electronic systems, including circuit design, PCB layout, bring-up, and validation.
Own projects with a focus on shipping products rather than specializing in one area of electronics engineering.
Design subsystems such as sensors, actuators, and optoelectronics, balancing electrical and mechanical requirements.
Support design decisions with data gathered through simulations and experiments.
Support designs throughout the product life cycle, from early research through debugging field failures.

Benefits

Unlimited 3D printing with any Formlabs material on any Formlabs printer.
