Embedded Software Intern (Winter/Spring 2027)

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.

3D printing requires a complex interplay of software, hardware, and electronics – our embedded engineers are the critical component that ties these teams together. You’ll work closely with electrical engineers, systems engineers, and the rest of our software team to build, shape, and define our embedded systems.

If you’re excited to hack on firmware and create elegant solutions to problems on real world products, we want you as an Embedded Software Intern.
