Lead Embedded Software Engineer

Join Formlabs as a Lead Embedded Software Engineer, where you'll lead the embedded software team responsible for turning our printers into reliable machines. You'll own the delivery of embedded firmware for current and upcoming printers, set the direction for a shared embedded platform, and partner with various engineering teams. The ideal candidate has experience in embedded software engineering, has led a team, and has a passion for 3D printing.

Lead the embedded software team in the development and delivery of firmware for current and upcoming printers, ensuring quality and adherence to program milestones.

Set direction for a shared embedded platform, including drivers, communication stacks, RTOS, and embedded Linux integration, to ensure reusability across new printers.

Hire, coach, and manage a team of embedded engineers, fostering their professional growth and addressing performance issues directly.

You're comfortable working from bare-metal microcontrollers to embedded Linux and multicore processors, using Python for tooling and testing

You've led a team of embedded or firmware engineers, including hiring and managing performance
