Algorithms Software Engineer, Formlabs Inc., Somerville, MA

Posted February 24, 2020

To reinvent an industry, you have to build the best team. Join Formlabs if you want to bring groundbreaking professional 3D printers to the desktop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world.

Our Software team continues to develop one of the most powerful and intuitive desktop print applications on the market: Preform. Fine-tuning the geometry of models in space is one of the most complex challenges our Software Team tackles — such as: Path planning and tool path generation, motor control for the printer, print success estimation (failure mode detection, typically using FEA/FEM, computational fluid dynamics, etc.), geometry (mesh slicing, polygon arithmetic, mesh repair and generation), support structure generation, printer/desktop communication, and dynamic, real-time print failure detection (computer vision, machine learning).

If you are a talented engineer who is excited to dive into 3D geometric algorithms and other challenging problems, we want you as an Algorithms Engineer.

Job Description:

• Develop world class desktop 3D printer software with a focus on geometric algorithms

• Drive the development of cutting edge software features from inception to release

• Bring innovative features to our users from underlying algorithms to intuitive user interface

Requirements:

• Experienced in C++ object oriented design and development

• Have developed 3D graphics or computational geometry

• Excited to study computer science journal articles with no fear of algorithms

• Work seamlessly with a diverse team of developers, engineers, and designers

• Have initiated and completed complex projects alone and on time

• Ready to routinely ship bulletproof software to thousands of customers

Bonus Skills (Optional): 

• Experience with solid mechanics or FEM

Our Perks:

• Flexible vacation

• Premium coverage for medical, dental, and vision plans

• Paid parental leave

• Commuter benefits

• Unlimited 3D prints
