Head of Product (SLS)

Join Formlabs as the Head of Product (SLS), where you'll lead the growth of our SLS hardware business and shape its future. Reporting directly to the CPO, you'll have the autonomy of a startup founder, backed by the resources and capabilities of a scaled company. Your impact will include defining and driving the vision and strategy for the SLS business, leading multi-disciplinary teams, and making high-stakes decisions on product positioning and go-to-market timing. A successful candidate will have a strong technical background, commercial sense, and leadership traits.

• Define and drive the vision and strategy for the SLS hardware business, identifying market trends and building a roadmap to achieve business goals.
• Lead multi-disciplinary teams across engineering, design, manufacturing, and commercial functions to ensure successful product development and launch.
• Make high-stakes decisions on product positioning, hardware architecture tradeoffs, and go-to-market timing, while representing the voice of the customer.

• The successful candidate has technical ability to dive deep across domains, commercial sense to understand what customers want and how to make it work for the business, marketing chops to communicate a compelling vision, the data skills and customer obsession required to support an opinionated point of view, and strong leadership traits: drive, grit, and desire to win
• A background in 3D printing is not required
• We build complex systems that span materials, robotics, and software, with a GTM engine that spans prosumer through industrial sales
• We're looking for someone who has done hard things: Founded a company, shipped physical products, and competed seriously to be #1
• We hire divergent people. Founders, athletes, people who've done something genuinely hard and come out the other side knowing what they're made of. If your path has been linear and comfortable, this is probably not the right fit
• You have previously led a significant business or founded a hardware venture. The experience of owning vision,P&L, roadmap, results, and team simultaneously is not new to you
• You aren't just a "product person." You understand how roadmap strategy, technical hardware decisions, customer acquisition, and manufacturing operations must work in harmony
• You've built real hardware - multiple generation products, major programs, or an entire company. You know what it takes to ship hardware that works reliably for the customer and for the business
• You possess the builder's mindset: the creativity to imagine what is possible, and the ability and the willingness to do whatever it takes to make it real - whether that's pitching a major customer, reviewing an engineering spec, or personally unblocking a production issue
• You've gotten results without enough money, time, or people. You don't fold when the work gets difficult
• Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing
• Experience in 3D printing, additive manufacturing, or adjacent physical product categories. (Having domain knowledge does not make you good at this job - but not having it will slow you down.)
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical discipline
• MBA or equivalent experience owning a P&L or leading a high-growth GTM motion
• Familiarity with hardware manufacturing standards and compliance (ISO, medical, aerospace, etc.)
• Strong proficiency with data - exploration, extracting signal from noise, sizing markets, and presenting findings in a way that drives decisions
