To reinvent an industry, you have to build the best team. Join Formlabs if you want to bring groundbreaking professional 3D printers to the desktop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world. Our printers are used by Google, Tesla, Gillette, and New Balance, just to name a few.

Founded in Boston in 2011, and reaching unicorn status in 2018, Formlabs is now valued at 2Bn dollars and is one of the leading 3D printer manufacturers in the world. We opened our Budapest office to establish key Engineering and Business teams in the region. With a dynamically-growing team of 100+ dedicated people, we're building a company so diverse that we can tackle any challenge.

The Formlabs Product Design Team is looking for a Senior Software Product Designer to shape the design and development of user experience and interfaces across our embedded, desktop, and web products. As a member of the team, you will collaborate across creative and engineering disciplines, prototype at varying levels of fidelity, and contribute to creating products and user experiences that empower our customers to achieve their goals—leaving a lasting impact on the world.

If you're excited to ship products that ship products, we'd love to hear from you.

The Job:

• Deeply understand the needs of Formlabs customers, translating their insights into innovative features.
• Collaborate closely with engineering to refine designs and bring them to life, driving features from low-fidelity wireframes to pixel-perfect prototypes and all the way through to public release—where your work has a tangible impact on our customers and their creations.
• Partner with product managers to ideate, define, and validate early-stage concepts for new features that deliver significant business value and exceptional user experiences.
• Conduct in-depth research by collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing product usage data, creating high-fidelity prototypes, and validating assumptions with usability studies to uncover insights that inform customer-focused, strategic design decisions.
• Conduct regular audits of the end-to-end user experience across our ecosystem and propose impactful initiatives to leadership.
• Help design, grow, and maintain robust and scalable design systems that ensure consistency and efficiency across all products.

You:

• Have a proven track record of working on complex, technical products, ideally with experience spanning desktop, web, mobile, or embedded interfaces.
• Bring a clear understanding of human-computer interaction principles, executing them effectively and communicating design intentions clearly to collaborators.
• Demonstrate a strong and diverse portfolio that includes early-stage ideation, user research, and pixel-perfect designs.
• Have deep expertise with design tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment, where you can take and give constructive feedback in a culture where the best ideas win.
• Have prior experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and enjoy working closely with product and engineering teams.

Bonus Skills:

• A background in human-computer interaction, design, or computer science is great, but your experience and enthusiasm matter most.
• An interest in 3D printing, CAD, computational geometry, and/or related technologies.
• Experience with web technologies (e.g. JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, and/or Electron.)
• Experience with Qt, QML, or OpenGL.
