The Job:
- Design, build, test, and ship development tools and prototype code for your fellow R&D engineers working on new, unlaunched Formlabs products.
- Design, build, test and ship code for new printer features to the tens of thousands of Formlabs devices in the field
- Ensure code re-use with a strong focus on maintainability, testing and CI
- Collaborate with different stakeholders (product managers, designers) to ensure we build the right features for our customers, existing and future.
- Work in a product-focused, agile environment onsite in our Somerville, MA office.
