Supply Chain Operations Software Intern (Fall 2026)

Formlabs•Somerville, MA

5d•$1,850 - $2,250•Onsite

About The Position

This internship offers a unique opportunity to be embedded within Formlabs' Supply Chain team, working with senior operations leadership to design, build, deploy, and maintain internal software tools. These tools are crucial for providing live visibility into supply risk, production readiness, and cost drivers, transforming raw operational data into actionable insights. The focus is on creating production-quality software that scales and outlasts the internship, rather than just proofs of concept. The intern will own the software lifecycle, build data pipelines, develop web applications, manage cloud infrastructure, and collaborate with stakeholders.

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 through how it was built, what broke, and how it was fixed.
Operate with autonomy — able to ship without constant supervision, but knows when to ask for help.
Energized by seeing work 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

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