About The Position

Do you want to change how the world creates? At Formlabs, we’re building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we’re helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before. We’re a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you’re ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us. As a Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer , you’ll lead the design and development of factory software systems that bring electromechanical products from prototype to high-volume production. You’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, building test and calibration infrastructure, integrating tightly with our hardware and operations teams, and making production data visible and actionable across our global supply chain. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments, care deeply about system reliability and product quality, and want to own software that powers physical manufacturing at scale. If you are passionate about manufacturing and eager to develop tests and software services used to build thousands of printers and related products worldwide, we want to speak with you!
