About Formlabs:

To reinvent an industry, you have to build the best team. Join Formlabs if you want to help us build the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life. 

Starting a company is the ultimate test of product-market fit, execution, and resilient leadership. If you're an ex-co-founder, seasoned tinkerer, or Product Leader at an early-stage startup looking for the ultimate platform to apply your experiences, Formlabs offers the infrastructure to build high-impact products without the bureaucratic drag of a large enterprise.

Your Impact: 

Materials are key to enabling our printers to create real-world products. We're looking for materials scientists who think like founders. This posting isn't tied to one opening. If your background fits, we'll talk about where your experience can have the most impact across our materials science teams and match you to a role. 

Wherever you land, you'll run the work you own like a mini-CEO, from customer requirement to chemistry to a photopolymer resin or SLS powder produced at scale and sold globally. We value bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes. 

Your contribution will span the product cycle, from deep R&D to global-scale shipping across hardware, software, materials science, and business functions.

What You’ll Do:

• Define Product Strategy & Vision: Act as the ultimate Product Owner, creating products and services that define the future of digital manufacturing by identifying unmet user needs and high-potential market gaps.
• Own Business Outcomes: Don't just manage projects—drive P&L results by identifying new market opportunities and scaling existing business units.
• Build & Lead: Create and lead multi-disciplinary teams of talented engineers, operators, and designers. Hire and mentor the next generation of Formlabs leaders.
• Take Decisive Action: Make crucial, high-stakes decisions that directly impact our core technology and business trajectory.
• Embrace the Ambiguity: Work at the intersection of complex disciplines (engineering, sales, manufacturing, marketing) and take full ownership to get the job done.

About You:

You are a tinkerer and/or an ex-co-founder who thrives on complexity and doesn't wait for permission. You get results.

Proven Entrepreneurial Experience: You have previously built a business or significant venture (technology startup experience is ideal), demonstrating a high tolerance for risk and a bias for action.Technical Depth: You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves in a materials lab to identify the next big material offering our customers are seeking.Comfort with Breadth: You have direct experience creating multi-disciplinary technology products and understand the full lifecycle from ideation to scale.Ownership & Hustle: You possess the "get it done" mindset—the hustle to do whatever it takes, whether it’s pitching a customer, setting up a supply chain, or debugging a prototype.Adaptive Leadership: You excel at both hiring and leading teams and are energized by a constantly changing, high-standard environment.

The standard is high, and the work is hard. Success here means you will be fundamentally changing digital manufacturing for designers, engineers, researchers, and artists everywhere.
