Description

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.

As the dedicated Field Service Engineer for Formlabs, you will be the primary technical point of contact and face of our company across the UK&Ireland region. This is a role where you will be traveling 80% or more of the time.

You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the customer's on-site experience: from the initial installation and commissioning of equipment to delivering comprehensive user training and performing critical repairs. You are not just fixing machines; you are empowering customers to use them.

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.

The Challenge:

  • Installation & Customer Training (On-Site)
    • Equipment Installation: Travel to customer sites to unpack, install, commission, and calibrate new 3D printing systems.
    • User Training: Conduct structured on-site training sessions for new and existing customers. You will teach them how to operate the machinery, utilize software, and perform basic maintenance.
    • Demonstrations: Perform live product demos to inspire confidence in the technology and ensure the customer team is fully up to speed.
  • Break-Fix & Maintenance (On-Site)
    • Rapid Response: Act as a deployable resource for customers facing downtime, often traveling on short notice to perform urgent repairs.
    • Preventative Maintenance: Manage a schedule of annual maintenance visits, ensuring all warrantied customers are serviced within their 90-day target window.
    • Troubleshooting: Employ critical thinking to diagnose electromechanical issues and achieve "single visit resolutions" to minimize travel and downtime.
  • Logistics & Reporting
    • Visit Volume: Execute a high volume of activity.
    • Travel Management: Independently manage a complex travel schedule (flights, trains, hotels, rental cars) and submit expenses on time.
    • Documentation: Maintain meticulous records of installations, training sessions completed, and repairs in Salesforce.

Your Profile:

  • You are based in London/Manchester/Dublin (highly preferred due to hub connectivity).
  • You are energized by travel and willing to be on the road 80%+ of the time. We pay for your time spent traveling, and this position is eligible for overtime.
  • You have a strong technical background (electromechanical/hardware) and the soft skills required to teach others how to use that technology.
  • Fluency in English (C1-C2). You can explain complex technical concepts simply and effectively. 
  • Valid driver’s license (B) is required.

Bonus Skills:

  • Fluency in German/French
  • Passion for 3D printing and emerging technologies
  • Experience in rapidly-growing startup environments

Our Perks:

  • Shares in the company (we're a double unicorn company!)
  • Overtime payment eligibility
  • Learning and development budget
  • Free 3D print
  • Fun team events

We build amazing things. Come join us!

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. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

About this role

Formlabs is seeking a Field Service Engineer to be the primary technical representative for 3D printing systems across the UK and Ireland. Based in London, Manchester, or Dublin, you'll spend 80% or more of your time traveling to customer sites—installing and commissioning equipment, conducting hands-on training, and performing repairs on industrial 3D printers used by companies like Apple, Google, and Tesla. This is a high-volume role where you'll manage your own travel logistics, maintain detailed service records, and respond rapidly to equipment failures, with the goal of resolving issues in a single visit whenever possible.

The ideal candidate has a strong electromechanical or hardware background and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to customers with varying levels of expertise. You'll need a valid UK driving license, fluency in English at C1-C2 level, and genuine enthusiasm for travel and field-based work. German or French language skills are a bonus, as is prior experience in fast-growing startups or passion for 3D printing technology.

Formlabs offers company shares, overtime pay eligibility, a learning and development budget, and a collaborative team environment. This role suits someone who thrives on variety, problem-solving under pressure, and direct customer interaction rather than desk-based work.
