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.

Our passion is designing and building powerful 3D printing tools. Our manufacturing team is responsible for research and development of the manufacturing processes for all of Formlabs products. They work cross functionally with mechanical design electrical and materials teams.

If youre excited to help us shape ways of working solve production line challenges scale manufacturing capacity and transition new hardware products into steadystate production we want you as an Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Manager for our global headquarters team in Boston. Its worth noting that this is not like the typical shop floor manufacturing engineering management role at a manufacturing plant.

The Job:

• Lead the activities of a team of manufacturing engineering professionals responsible for supporting an extended team of global manufacturing supply chain quality professionals.
• Ongoing sustainment of manufacturing lines at our contract manufacturers transition into production and support.
• Characterize process & product failures on our manufacturing line root cause investigations corrective actions and mistakeproofing at suppliers and contract manufacturers for component/module/product new builds and refurbishments.
• Own manufacturing process (e.g. assembly printer calibration verification testing etc. control and issue prevention; implementing tools equipment and process methods to ensure industryleading reliability quality and yield.
• Drive team collaboration and support across projects/programs as a player coach on complex engineering and operational challenges.
• Own manufacturing technical readiness as a critical member of our crossfunctional NPI teams with specific emphasis on manufacturing return of experience producibility cost effectiveness industrialization; negotiate conflicting requirements identify lessonslearned and DFM/DFA/DFSS opportunities and share/escalate to upstream design engineers and downstream sustaining engineers.
