About Formlabs:
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.
Your Impact:
As a Software Product Manager at Formlabs, you’ll talk directly with customers to understand how they use our products and how our products could be better. You’ll interface with our customer service team, design, and engineering to identify, define and ship the best solutions to solve customer problems. Our printers are interesting and complex machines combining software, hardware, and materials science. Like a Tesla, software is the key component that enables us to continually ship improvements for our printers. If you’re excited to tackle this role on real world products, we want you to join us as a Software Product Manager.
