Do you want to change how the world creates? At Formlabs, we're building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we're helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before.
We're a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you're ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us.
Materials development presents one of the greatest opportunities to innovate in 3D printing, unlocking new applications in different industries such as engineering, consumer, manufacturing, automotive, and healthcare. Our materials science team works closely with product management, hardware, and software teams to develop new materials that push the boundaries of what can be done with 3D printing.
As a Materials Scientist in Photopolymer Development, you will be part of a fast-paced R&D environment where you break new ground. You will design and optimize complex photopolymer formulations, lead the transition of new materials from lab-scale concepts to commercial launch, and establish structure-process-property relationships through rigorous experimentation. This role requires learning about the 3D printing process and underlying hardware to inform formulation decisions and collaborate cross-functionally to develop products that meet customer needs and work seamlessly on the Form 4 platform.
Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. We are looking for individuals who are excited to help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing.
We 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.
