Startup Founder - Form Now

About 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.

Opportunity:

We are spinning up Form Now, a new service-based initiative designed to bridge the gap between desktop 3D printing and industrial-scale production. We are looking for an entrepreneurial leader to join a small, elite team at our Headquarters in Massachusetts, to take this from pre-launch to a national scale. This isn’t just a product role; it’s a mandate to build a business.

Your mandate is to act as a mini-CEO: rapidly identify, develop, and scale the Form Now service model within Formlabs. We value a bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes.

We are seeking results-focused leaders and entrepreneurs who can move from high-level GTM strategy to "on-the-floor" operations in a single afternoon. You will own the evolution of this service, ensuring we don't just ship parts, but redefine how engineers and designers access manufacturing.

What You’ll Do:

• Act as the ultimate Product Owner and Lead for Form Now, identifying unmet user needs in the service bureau market and high-potential market gaps.

• Create and lead a multi-disciplinary team. You’ll be responsible for the "full stack" of the service, from the digital storefront and software integration to the physical production and shipping logistics.

• Make high-stakes decisions on pricing, hardware utilization, and Go-To-Market (GTM) tactics that directly impact the trajectory of this new venture.

• Work at the intersection of engineering, sales, product, and manufacturing.

You:

• You are a tinkerer, a service bureau veteran, or an ex-founder who thrives on complexity and doesn’t wait for permission. You get results.

• You have previously built a business or a significant new venture. A massive plus if you have founded or led a service bureau, digital manufacturing startup, or a fabrication-focused company.

• You aren't just a "product person" or an "ops person." You understand how GTM strategy, customer acquisition, and technical hardware operations must work in harmony.

• You possess the “get it done” mindset—the hustle to do whatever it takes, whether it’s pitching a cornerstone customer, optimizing a production workflow, or debugging a logistics bottleneck.

• You excel at hiring and leading teams in a constantly changing, high-standard environment.

Bonus Skills:

• Direct experience in the 3D printing service bureau industry or digital fabrication.

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related technical field.

• MBA or experience in a high-growth GTM/Operations role.

• Familiarity with manufacturing standards and compliance (ISO, medical, etc.).

• Experience with Tableau, SQL, or building custom operational dashboards.
