Electrical Engineer
Department: Engineering
Location: Somerville, MA
To reinvent an industry, you have to build the best team. Join Formlabs if you want to bring groundbreaking professional 3D printers to the desktop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world.
Electrical engineering at Formlabs bridges the gap between the analog and digital worlds. If you love to design and build boards from the ground up, develop firmware to control complex electromechanical systems, and produce elegant solutions to real-world problems, we want you as an Electrical Engineer.
You are highly encouraged to share a portfolio that demonstrates your skills and experience.
The Job:
- Design and build prototypes and production electronic systems, including circuit design, PCB layout, embedded firmware development, bring up and validation
- Own projects, not skills -- this role is for a “full-stack” engineer with a focus on shipping products, not a specialist in any one area of electronics engineering
- Go beyond the board -- be responsible for the design of subsystems such as sensors, actuators, and optoelectronics that require tradeoffs between electrical and mechanical requirements
- Back up your design decisions with data gathered through simulations and experiments
- Grow into owning larger system architecture design and other forms of technical leadership if desired
You:
- Have a minimum of 2 years of experience designing and debugging electronics
- Are an electrical engineering generalist, comfortable with analog and digital design, PCB layout, validation, and debugging techniques
- Have at least basic familiarity with embedded systems (microcontroller firmware developed in C/C++, embedded Linux) or another software engineering discipline
- Are hands-on and interested in supporting your designs throughout the product life cycle, from early research to debugging field failures
Bonus Skills:
- Experience designing systems that require physics or mechanical engineering skills as well as electronics (for example, thermal, optical, or motion considerations)
Our Perks & Benefits:
- Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
- Low cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors
- Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)
- Tenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)
- Flexible Out of Office Plan – Take time when you need it
- Ample on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
- Healthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats
- Regular sponsored professional development opportunities
- Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community
- And of course… unlimited 3D prints
