PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to sponsor for this role. So if you will require sponsorship at ANY time in the future, you will not be under consideration for the role.
As a Software Engineer II on the Device Software Team, you will be part of the group that develops and maintains our embedded Typescript + Node.js applications. Our on-printer software is responsible for executing print jobs to produce the perfect part every time, automatically correcting for errors and dynamically applying calibrations to account for variation between machines. It has an intuitive UI that guides operators through maintenance workflows and the printing process, and connects to our web application to download jobs, upload the resulting telemetry, and apply our regular OTA updates. Because it is at the center of our ecosystem, you will collaborate closely with engineers from multiple disciplines, such as Mechanical, Electrical, and Materials Engineering to build solutions to complex problems. This role requires 4-5 days in the office per week to allow you to work hands-on with our industrial 3D printers in our Print Development Lab.
