Markforged is liberating designers and engineers from the long lead times and high costs of traditional manufacturing. We build cutting-edge next generation cloud connected industrial 3D printers that produce parts 50x faster that are 23x stronger and 20x lower-cost. NASA, Google, Ford, Amazon, Siemens and thousands of companies in 50 countries use Markforged printers to produce same-day prototypes and stronger end-use parts than ever before.

Our software technologies and tools empower our customers to configure print-ready parts, visualize part geometry in 3D, and push to IoT-connected printers for printing. As part of the Software Engineering team, you would be helping to enable the scaling and growth of our 3D printing software platform capabilities involving end-customer applications and IoT services.

As a Software Engineer in QA Automation, you'd be creating significant impact by ensuring high-quality software deliverables through scalable test infrastructure & QA process ownership in a high-energy environment. You will develop and enhance test automation for successful rapid development and deployment of our Web, Desktop, IoT applications and associated cloud services across various environments.

In order to succeed in this role, you'll be a self starter and have a real passion for software engineering test automation, exploratory testing and improving software quality. You don't need prior experience with 3D printing or our software stack; we trust you can learn those skills on the job with compelling technical expertise.
