About The Position

Our 3D printers are mechanical engineering marvels that are challenging and exciting to develop. The mechanics are precise and full of clever mechanisms that drive tightly integrated systems. The designs need to be produced in high volumes while being built with beautiful aesthetics at an accessible price. Our mechanical engineers work on the entire life cycle of the products they create - from the first whiteboard sketch to the final ECO for their completed assemblies. We work quickly to prototype, test, and iterate, while collaborating closely with dozens of other engineers, spanning multiple disciplines across the company. If you're looking to lead and develop our rapidly growing team of talented mechanical engineers as we create next-generation digital fabrication technology, then we want you as our Manager of Mechanical Engineering.
