The electrical engineering team at Formlabs is responsible for designing circuits, sensors, and electromechanical systems, as well as developing embedded firmware for real-time control of hardware. If you are an electrical engineer with a strong grasp on embedded software development, or a software engineer with a good understanding of electronics fundamentals, you could be a good fit for the Embedded Hardware Engineer position.
We look for people who are passionate about learning and taking on new challenges, care about the bigger picture impact of their work, and are interested in building strong collaborative relationships with teammates and between teams.
You are highly encouraged to share an example of your work that demonstrates your skills and experience.
The Job:
- Design and develop embedded systems and embedded firmware, including research/specification, prototyping, validation, and production release
- Debug the hardware your code is running on (and if desired, grow into designing that hardware as well)
