Description

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. If you’re excited to help us shape ways of working, solve production line challenges, scale manufacturing capacity, and transition new hardware products into steady-state production, we want you as an Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Manager for our global headquarters team in Boston. It’s worth noting that this is not like the typical shop floor manufacturing engineering management role at a manufacturing plant. The Job: Lead the activities of a team of manufacturing engineering professionals responsible for supporting an extended team of global manufacturing, supply chain, quality professionals. Ongoing sustainment of manufacturing lines at our contract manufacturers + transition into production and support.
