Hardware R&D Engineering Intern (Fall 2026)

Do you want to change how the world creates

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 everyone design prototype and manufacture faster than ever before.

Our Platform Technology team is a mix of mechanical systems and software engineers. We develop and maintain the Formlabs printing process. Our team works closely with other engineering teams to research and develop next generation printers and materials. We use engineering physics and experimentation to turn ideas into beautiful and accurate parts.

If you are a systems thinker who enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary environment we want you as a R&D Print Process Engineering Intern.
