Job description

Join Nobula: Pioneering the Future of Glass 3D Printing

Who are we?

Nobula is an innovative additive manufacturing startup revolutionizing glass applications through our proprietary Direct Glass Laser Deposition (DGLD) technique. Our cutting-edge technology features a laser-based glass 3D printer that uses thin glass filaments as feedstock. With a strong focus on sustainability, our vision is to expand the potential applications of glass 3D printing.

Why is this interesting?

Traditionally, glass fabrication has been expensive, time-consuming, and primarily suited for standardized mass production. However, there is a growing demand for customizable, fast, affordable, and sustainable glass production across various sectors, from life sciences to optics and photonics. Our goal is to enable glass foundries to be placed anywhere, from office desks and labs to production factories.

What have we accomplished?

We have successfully launched pilot projects with both top-tier industrial and academic partners. Currently, we are engaged in over 20 active projects. We have also raised more than 55 million SEK in investments from prestigious organizations, including the European Innovation Council (EIC), VCs, business angels, KTH Holding, and the Sting incubator. Our team of 7 operates from an office and lab in central Stockholm, and we are now entering the next phase of scaling.

About The Job

We are looking for a brave mechanical engineer with 3D printing skills. Your responsibilities will include:

1. Leading development projects and communicating effectively both internally and externally;
2. Developing and designing a Nobula glass 3D printer in Autodesk Fusion;
3. Testing your solutions and implementing them into the device;
4. Writing applications for new funding projects;
5. Preparing reports for ongoing projects.

You will be part of a driven team of motivated and talented engineers, researchers, and scientists. As we are in a phase of rapid growth, it's the perfect time to join us and dare to dream big.

1. Close collaboration with the founding team in central Stockholm;
2. An opportunity to shape your own work as an early member of a well-funded startup;
3. Flexible work schedule;
4. Equity options for early team members, depending on the role;
5. Access to a state-of-the-art AM lab in central Stockholm;
6. A competitive salary.

Required Qualifications

1. Proven skills and experience in mechanical engineering;
2. At least 5 years of experience in industrial product development, preferably in AM;
3. Experience with 3D printing;
4. Professional level in English, written and spoken;
5. Experience with funding projects, application and execution;
6. Strong knowledge and experience in CAD;
7. Eligibility to work within the EU.

Skills That Will Make You Stand Out

1. Proven skills with Design For Manufacturing (DFM);
2. Proven design of components for manufacturing;
3. Able to produce high quality design and validation documentation;
4. Proven research writing and publishing skills;
5. Algorithm engineering;
6. High level AI user;
7. Experience in numerical simulation (material, mechanical, optical...).
8. Experience with startups and running business;
9. Able to use workshop machinery - CNC and classical.
