Making that work reliably is an extraordinary engineering problem.\nThat’s what we do.\nAt Formlabs, we’re building 3D printers that are changing the way things get made. We have the smartest minds across every engineering discipline, and the technology they’re building is deployed at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA.\nYour Impact: \nYour mandate is to act as a mini-CEO: rapidly identify, develop, and scale new product lines and ventures within Formlabs. We value bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes. \nWe are seeking results-focused leaders/entrepreneurs who can quickly pivot and take charge. Your contribution will span the product cycle, from deep R&D to global-scale shipping across hardware, software, materials science, and business functions.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nBuild & Lead: Create and lead multi-disciplinary teams of talented engineers, operators, and designers. Hire and mentor the next generation of Formlabs leaders\nDive Deep: Roll up your sleeves to build complex, electro-mechanical robotic products as we continue to explore new technologies, applications, and market opportunities within R&D. \nTake Decisive Action: Make crucial, high-stakes decisions that directly impact our core technology and business trajectory.\n Embrace the Ambiguity: Work at the intersection of complex disciplines (engineering, sales, manufacturing, marketing) and take full ownership to get the job done.\nAbout You:\nYou are technical. You likely have an engineering degree of some sort. Or better yet, you left school a bit early to go build something you were too excited to wait for. \nYou are a tinkerer and/or an ex-co-founder who thrives on complexity and doesn’t wait for permission. You get results.\n Proven Entrepreneurial Experience: You have previously built a business or significant venture (technology startup experience is ideal), demonstrating a high tolerance for risk and a bias for action.\nComfort with Breadth: You have direct experience creating multi-disciplinary technology products and understand the full lifecycle from ideation to scale.\nOwnership & Hustle: You possess the “get it done” mindset-the hustle to do whatever it takes, whether it’s pitching a customer, setting up a supply chain, or debugging a prototype.\nAdaptive Leadership: You excel at both hiring and leading teams and are energized by a constantly changing, high-standard environment.\nThe standard is high, and the work is hard. Success here means you will be fundamentally changing digital manufacturing for designers, engineers, researchers, and artists everywhere.\nBonus Skills: \nRobotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Degree, or related\nEntrepreneurial experience, such as founding your own business.\nMBA or experience in a consulting role\nFamiliarity with manufacturing, regulatory, or product standards and compliance in industries like healthcare, pharma, or life sciences.\nExperience with 3D printing technologies and materials.\nFamiliarity with Tableau or SQL.\nCompensation: \nWe are all owners of Formlabs and direct beneficiaries of our success. We believe equity is a critical component of compensation at Formlabs, and we want our newest team members to understand the potential value of their equity. Full-time employees receive equity in the form of RSUs. Your financial investment will grow with us in accordance with your impact.\nAt Formlabs, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. The base pay range for this role is between $120,000 and $250,000, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, location, and expected impact on the organization.\nOur Benefits & Perks:\nRobust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs\nComprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)\nLow-cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors \nGenerous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)\nTenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)\nFlexible Out of Office Plan - Take time when you need it\nAmple on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits\nHealthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats\nRegularly sponsored professional development opportunities\nMany opt-in culture events across our diverse community\nAnd of course… unlimited 3D prints\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. \nEven if you don’t check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing.\nCompensation\nEvery Formlabs employee receives equity because everyone contributes to building the company. You’ll have the opportunity to share financially in the value we create together, with a shared incentive to build a business that succeeds over the long term. Equity will be a significant portion of your total compensation, and will increase over time in proportion to your impact.
