Development Engineering Tech I

At Formlabs were 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 50000 industry leaders worldwide including Apple Google Tesla New Balance and NASA. Together were helping creators design prototype and manufacture faster than ever before.
The Reliability Engineering Team is the companys independent voice on product robustness ensuring our hardware products are reliable so that Customers spend more time printing and less time troubleshooting. We architect effective testing strategies engineer advanced electro-mechanical test rigs and extract valuable actionable insights from the data.
Are you a versatile and curious engineer who can see the whole systemfrom the smallest part to the users workflow Can you take complex data and turn it into a clear compelling story If so join our small and agile R&D Reliability Engineering Team.
Perform hands-on and data-driven root cause analysis (RCA) of electromechanical subsystems and field failures utilizing common problem-solving methodologies and a physics of failure approach.
Design build and implement automated testing equipment for subsystem characterization and reliability/environmental testing.
Collaborate with R&D design teams throughout product development to perform risk assessments manage continuous testing and contribute to design reviews influencing product design for reliability from day one.
Analyze field failure data to identify trends prioritize investigations based on business value and develop clear actionable corrective action plans (CAPAs).
Our team did the testing to ensure Form 4 would be the most reliable printer Formlabs has ever built:
Developed custom rigs to simulate UV light and heat continuously monitoring performance over thousands of hours.
Z-Axis: Conducted millions of cycles of accelerated lifetime testing to ensure consistent motion.
Tank Film: Developed custom pneumatic fixtures to ensure that tank tension remained high after tens of thousands of layers.
Optimized cartridge geometry to ensure reliable dispensing of all kinds of Formlabs materials.

Have experience with testing a wide range of sensors actuators and mechanical components.
Have experience developing system test plans and know how to execute them efficiently within fast-paced product development timelines.
Can prototype and run your own tests from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation in Python.
Possess strong data analysis skills capable of distilling complex test results and field data into clear concise and compelling insights that drive action.
Bonus Skills:
Familiarity with Linux systems and scripting in various languages.
Experience with SQL for data analysis.
Prior experience with field failure analysis or quality engineering roles is a plus.
