About the Company/Team

Lightspeed fabrication for physical matter – metal 3d printing on your desk, budget, & timeline.

About the Role

YOUR DAY TO DAY, THROUGH YEAR 1 – Drive mechanical design and manufacturing from prototype through to production. Communicate effectively with local, national, and global suppliers. Prototype and test new systems, mechanisms, and architectures, digitally and physically. Engage with vendors from across the globe. Architect hardware systems and subsystems of our flagship 3D printer for performance, manufacturability, and reliability. Manage BOMs and CAD for multiple iterations of the hardware systems & subsystems. Work hand in hand with software, product, and support teams on complex problems, from design to debugging. Be hands-on with the printers and accessories.

At the intersection of technology and creativity, 3D printing turns ideas into tangible realities. Metal is one of the most versatile materials — but today’s metal printing technologies are costly, hazardous, and limited to large-scale industrial use. Studio 3e8 is a team that is changing that. We deliver a fully integrated hardware, software, and materials ecosystem that enables part production at the speed of information. Our mission is to make professional-grade fabrication affordable, compact, and easy to use—putting tomorrow’s manufacturing capabilities into the hands of today’s designers. We’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our team in Somerville who can help us realize our vision and implementation of cutting-edge additive metal printing manufacturing. We’ve built a solution that works; we seek someone to help us optimize and scale from now to large-scale adoption. We’re backed by some of the top VCs in the business, are proud members of Greentown Labs, and are ecstatic to be growing a team passionate about enabling an entirely new means of fabrication.
