Manufacturing Test Engineer

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.

As a Manufacturing Test Engineer, you’ll lead the design and development of manufacturing test systems that bring electromechanical products from prototype to high-volume production. You’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, building test and calibration hardware and infrastructure, integrating tightly with our manufacturing and operations teams, and making production data visible and actionable across our global supply chain.

This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments, care deeply about system reliability and product quality, and want to own software that powers physical manufacturing at scale.

If you are passionate about manufacturing and eager to develop tests and software services used to build thousands of printers and related products worldwide, we want to speak with you!

The Job:

Design, build and validate hardware and software solutions for electromechanical factory test systems. These systems will facilitate product calibration and testing from the prototype stage through to mass production.

Develop Python-based test scripts and integrate hardware interfaces (sensors, actuators, motion systems)

Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing engineering teams to define test strategies and deploy robust, scalable tools across multiple production sites to ensure projects are delivered successfully and on time

Build and support internal tools and services for collecting, storing, and analyzing manufacturing data (e.g., calibration results, EMS logs, configuration and test data)

Apply data science tools to extract meaningful insights from manufacturing performance data and feed that back into design, quality, and operational decision-making

Continuously improve our development, testing and deployment processes to streamline software releases across our global factories

You:

BS in Robotics, Mechatronics, or other Engineering discipline with professional experience combining hardware design and software integration

Experience developing and implementing computer vision and machine learning algorithms

Have strong proficiency in Python, including experience designing or supporting test jigs, fixtures, or automation tools that are deployed in manufacturing environments

Good understanding of software integration with embedded systems, electrical, and mechanical engineering and comfortable working cross functionally

Take pride in building robust, maintainable systems—and you’re not afraid to dive into a prototype setup to debug issues on the line

Communicate clearly, proactively manage projects and multiple priorities, and thrive in environments where quick decision-making and knowledge sharing are key

Bonus Skills

Experience working with manufacturing teams on complex products including collaborating with 3rd party contract manufacturers and new product introduction (NPI) build cycles

Experience developing for and maintaining production-grade code that is shared across teams

Proficient in 3D CAD (OnShape preferred) and mechanical design

Full stack web development, including React/JS, DevOps, Docker, and microservices

Experience with C or C++ on microcontrollers
