Fabrication Engineer

Job Description :

Formative 3D is a 3D-printing startup on a mission to change the built environment. By leveraging large-format and FDM additive manufacturing, we’re building modular, component-based systems that are sustainable and scalable. As we launch our new production facility, we’re looking for passionate and dependable, hands-on team members to help us produce our first project and grow the business. This role is a hands-on technical leader who bridges digital design and physical fabrication. You’ll support production by refining CAD models for manufacturability, programming CNC equipment, and performing fabrication and carpentry tasks to assemble modular components. You’ll work closely with the Director of Operations, Production Manager, and technicians to ensure designs are translated into high-quality, buildable products. Effective the beginning of March 2026, this role will transition from HITT to Formative 3D.

Responsibilities

  • Interpret CAD models and drawings for manufacturability
  • Create technical drawings, assembly diagrams, and SOPs for the component assembly
  • Collaborate with design and production teams to refine modular components
  • Program and operate CNC machines for precision cutting, milling, and post-processing of parts
  • Perform hands-on fabrication, carpentry, and assembly of modular furniture systems
  • Integrate 3D-printed parts with traditional materials (wood, metal, composites)
  • Construct prototypes and test assemblies for new product development
  • Support R&D initiatives by experimenting with hybrid manufacturing methods
  • Work closely with technicians and operators to align fabrication with production schedules
  • Ensure adherence to safety standards and SOPs in fabrication areas

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in fabrication, CNC programming, woodworking, or mechanical engineering
  • Proficiency in CAD & CAM software (Fusion 360 preferred)
  • Hands-on experience with CNC machines, woodworking tools, and fabrication equipment
  • Strong understanding of materials (wood, metals, composites, polymers)
  • Ability to bridge digital design with physical building and assembly
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Physical Demands

  • Regular movement between production areas, assembly stations, and shipping / receiving
  • Standing / walking for extended periods while working, up to 8 hours per day, 6 days a week
  • Regular lifting of materials / equipment (25–50 lbs.)
  • Exposure to noise, dust, and varying temperatures typical of industrial environments
  • Use of PPE (safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection) as required
  • Open to working weekends
  • Compensation, Healthcare, & Benefits

  • Full-time, salaried position, compensation commensurate with experience
  • Full suite of healthcare benefits, including medical, dental, and vision
  • Competitive PTO plans
  • Competitive retirement plans
