Supply Chain Operations Software Intern (Fall 2026)

Formlabs•Somerville, MA

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Behind every Formlabs printer is a global supply chain spanning component suppliers, Tier I assembly vendors, and material partners across Asia and beyond. Our Operations and Supply Chain team manages the data flows, forecasts, and critical decisions that keep manufacturing on track — but today, too much of that work relies on manual processes, disconnected spreadsheets, and raw vendor data that goes unmonitored. That's where you come in. This is not a typical ops internship. You'll be embedded directly on our Supply Chain team, working with senior operations leadership to design, build, deploy, and maintain the internal software tools that power real business decisions. The tools you own will give operations teams live visibility into supply risk, production readiness, and cost drivers — translating raw, messy operational data into something people actually trust and act on. The tools you build will be demoed frequently, refined based on real feedback, and architected to outlast your internship. We want production-quality software that survives and scales — not a proof of concept that collects dust.

Requirements

Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related quantitative field.
Proficient in Python or JavaScript, with hands-on experience building full-stack components (backend logic, APIs, and lightweight front-ends).
Comfortable with cloud platforms (GCP preferred, including BigQuery and Cloud Functions) and infrastructure basics (debugging deployment configurations, environment management).
A clear communicator who can collaborate with non-technical business stakeholders to translate ambiguous operations problems into clear technical specs.
Have built something real — a personal project, a class project, a deployed tool — and can walk us through how you built it, what broke, and how you fixed it
Operate with autonomy — you don't need someone looking over your shoulder to ship, but you know when to ask for help
Are energized by seeing your work actually used by real people

Nice To Haves

Experience with containerization (Docker), CI/CD pipelines, modern JS frameworks (React), or data visualization tools (Looker Studio, Tableau).
Familiarity with supply chain, manufacturing, or operations domains — even academic or personal interest counts

Responsibilities

Own the Software Lifecycle: Take full ownership of internal operational tools—from initial architecture design and local development through testing, cloud deployment, and active iteration.
Build Robust Data Pipelines: Design and deploy automated ETL pipelines that ingest, clean, and normalize raw inputs from external vendor reports into structured, queryable data warehouse formats.
Develop Web Applications: Build and maintain clean, responsive web-based dashboards that give non-technical stakeholders real-time visibility into supply chain health and operational risk.
Manage Cloud Infrastructure: Deploy and manage services supporting these tools, including cloud functions, scheduled jobs, and secure data integrations—collaborating with IT and Data Engineering where appropriate.
Design for Maintainability: Maintain exceptional version-control habits (Git) and write thoroughly documented code that future engineers can easily pick up, extend, and debug.
Iterate with Stakeholders: Demo your work early and frequently with senior operations leadership. Translate ambiguous, real-world supply chain problems into scoped technical features.
