Operations & Supply Chain Software Intern (Summer 2026)

Formlabs•Somerville, MA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

This internship focuses on building and deploying internal software tools to enhance Formlabs' global supply chain operations. The intern will work directly with senior operations leadership to create tools that provide live visibility into supply risk, production readiness, and cost drivers. The goal is to move away from manual processes and disconnected spreadsheets towards production-quality software that can be trusted and acted upon. The tools developed will be frequently demoed, refined based on feedback, and designed for longevity and scalability.

Requirements

Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field
Experience building something real — a personal project, a class project, a deployed tool — and ability to discuss the process, challenges, and solutions
Proficiency in clean Python or JavaScript (or both) and comfort working across the full stack: data pipelines, backend logic, and lightweight front-end interfaces
Experience deploying software to a real environment, understanding the difference between local development and production reliability
Comfort with cloud platforms and infrastructure basics: spinning up services, managing environment configs, debugging deployment failures, and understanding data flow
Habitual use of version control (Git) — branching, committing, reviewing, and documenting work
Clear communication with non-technical stakeholders and ability to translate ambiguous operational problems into scoped technical requirements
Autonomy in operating and shipping work, with the ability to ask for help when needed
Energized by seeing work used by real people

Nice To Haves

Experience with Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Cloud Scheduler) or equivalent cloud services
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), or infrastructure-as-code tooling
Prior internship or project experience in a DevOps, data engineering, or internal tools role
Experience with BI and data visualization tools (Looker Studio, Tableau, Metabase, or similar)
React or other modern front-end framework experience for building browser-based internal apps
Exposure to ETL/ELT workflows, data pipeline orchestration, or workflow automation platforms
Familiarity with supply chain, manufacturing, or operations domains — even academic or personal interest counts

Responsibilities

Own the full lifecycle of internal operational tools — from initial design and local development through testing, deployment, and ongoing iteration in a production environment
Build and deploy data pipelines that ingest, clean, and normalize raw inputs from external vendor reports into structured, queryable formats that the business can rely on
Develop and maintain web-based dashboards and applications that give non-technical operations teammates real-time visibility into supply chain health, production readiness, and operational risk
Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure supporting these tools, including cloud functions, scheduled jobs, and data warehouse integrations — working with IT and Data Engineering stakeholders where appropriate
Design for maintainability and handoff: write clean, documented, version-controlled code that a future engineer can pick up, extend, and debug without starting from scratch
Demo your work early and often — at weekly check-ins with your manager and periodic reviews with the broader ops team.
Identify opportunities to automate high-friction manual workflows across procurement, production planning, and supplier management
