Mechanical Engineer

About this role

Formlabs seeks a Mechanical Engineer to design and develop precision 3D printing mechanisms and electro-mechanical systems. You'll work across the full product development cycle—from prototyping and material research to CAD design and manufacturing collaboration—to create desktop 3D printers that are both functionally excellent and beautifully engineered.

What you'll do

• Prototype mechanisms, test materials, and research solutions to 3D printing challenges
• Analyze, test, validate, and iterate on electro-mechanical systems for printer hardware
• Develop detailed CAD designs and accurate technical drawings using Solidworks or Onshape
• Collaborate with Global Sourcing and Manufacturing teams to scale designs from prototype to production
• Evaluate and select manufacturing techniques such as injection molding and sheet metal fabrication
• Build and test prototypes in the company machine shop to validate design concepts

What they're looking for

• 3D CAD software (Solidworks or Onshape)
• Mechanical design and part specification
• Material selection and evaluation
• Manufacturing processes (injection molding, sheet metal fabrication)
• Prototyping and hands-on fabrication
• Systems testing and validation
• Technical drawing and documentation
• Vendor and supplier communication

Benefits

• Equity program with RSUs for wealth building
• Comprehensive healthcare (medical, dental, vision)
• 401(k) matching with financial advisory access
• Generous parental leave (up to 16 weeks) and sabbatical leave (up to 6 weeks)
• Flexible time-off policy and on-site amenities including parking and meals
• Professional development opportunities and unlimited 3D printing access
