Systems Print Engineer II

Markforged (NYSE: MKFG) is reinventing the $1 trillion+ worldwide manufacturing industry so that engineers can build anything they imagine while reducing environmental impact. With the market’s most robust 3D printing hardware, software and material solution, a world-class team, great customers and abundant capital, we’re well placed to continue our growth and innovation. 

The Systems Print Engineers at Markforged are branded as “the 3D printing experts”, “engineering’s system thinkers”, and “the people that can debug any print failure”. This is because we are the only engineers that regularly use the printers for applied science & engineering. We can be counted on to go all levels deep into solving the intrinsically hard problems of building “easy-to-use” and “just-press-print” 3D printers.  We are the glue that helps pull together the traditional engineering disciplines to make our printers come to life and perform exceptionally.  As a Systems Print Engineer, you will become a system-level expert with our printing technology.  You will often work on interdisciplinary engineering efforts required to achieve the best-in-class print quality. You will be required to build strong cross-disciplinary relationships as you work together with other engineering teams to deliver results.  Your work will cover multidisciplinary engineering topics as they relate to our printing technology to maximize the performance of our printer fleet, with a focus on new product development.    

What you will own:

• Design & build test tooling for in-house R&D on the printer systems, with a unique focus on building software to support these tools and extracting high quality data for future analysis
• Design experiments, execute test methodologies, build & apply data analysis tooling, and organize data to provide clear technical communication that drive results
• Create, manage, and maintain a library of standardized scripts and other software tooling for the print engineering team
• Build robust processes for validating new print systems
• Characterize and build metrics around print quality and how it reflects system quality to meet engineering goals
• Own the printer at a systems level to ensure the engineering goals align with the product requirements
• Coalesce knowledge from surrounding engineering teams as it relates to the functionality of the printing system
• Collaborate fluidly with other engineering groups to build functional requirements, perform root cause analysis, solve problems, and identify areas for improvement as they relate to the quality of our printed parts

Important Note:

Although we list out what we generally look for, we are likely missing other attributes and skills that you have that could make you a great fit but are not currently listed. Research has shown this especially applies to women and other marginalized groups, who tend to apply if they check 100% of every box, versus men who apply if they hit roughly 60%. The point we’re getting at, it doesn’t hurt to take a chance and apply!

What you have:

• Bachelors in Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Familiar with Python to aid data collection and analysis
• Familiar with GitHub
• Familiar or strongly willing to learn JavaScript
• Focused on solving problems through hypothesis-driven experimental design and backing up conclusions with data
• Hands-on experience debugging electromechanical systems
• Familiarity with CAD, ideally with SolidWorks
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent team player; comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic, interdisciplinary team 
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills
