ApplyAbout Formlabs:
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.
The Opportunity:
We are looking for an exceptional hardware product leader to own and grow our SLS hardware business, and to be the architect of what comes next. Reporting directly to the CPO, you’ll step into an established business with a strong foundation and an exciting new chapter to shape. The role is becoming available as our current leader moves to take on new responsibilities within our growing R&D organization.
This isn't your typical product management role. You will operate with the autonomy of a startup founder, backed by the resources, brand, and manufacturing capability of a scaled company. You'll lead major hardware programs from concept to launch, lead a team of product managers, define roadmap strategy for an entire product line, and make the calls that determine how Formlabs competes and succeeds in additive manufacturing.
We're looking for someone who has done hard things: Founded a company, shipped physical products, and competed seriously to be #1. A background in 3D printing is not required. We build complex systems that span materials, robotics, and software, with a GTM engine that spans prosumer through industrial sales. The successful candidate has technical ability to dive deep across domains, commercial sense to understand what customers want and how to make it work for the business, marketing chops to communicate a compelling vision, the data skills and customer obsession required to support an opinionated point of view, and strong leadership traits: drive, grit, and desire to win.
Your Impact:
Your mandate is to define and drive the vision and strategy for the SLS business - identify where the market is going, build the roadmap to get there first, build the buy-in to execute across the organization, and lead the cross-functional teams that make it real. We value a bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes. A successful leader has both a sharp understanding of what customers actually value, and a clear-eyed view of what's technically and commercially feasible, with the poise required to make challenging trade-offs required to build exceptional products, fast.
What You’ll Do:
About You:
We hire divergent people. Founders, athletes, people who've done something genuinely hard and come out the other side knowing what they're made of. If your path has been linear and comfortable, this is probably not the right fit.
Bonus Skills:
Our Benefits & Perks:
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing.

Compensation
Every Formlabs employee receives equity because everyone contributes to building the company. You’ll have the opportunity to share financially in the value we create together, with a shared incentive to build a business that succeeds over the long term. Equity will be a significant portion of your total compensation, and will increase over time in proportion to your impact. The base pay will be determined by your skills, qualifications, experience, location, and expected impact on the organization.
