Get Access To All JobsAbout Formlabs:
A 3D printer is one of the most demanding machines you can build.
Lasers, optics, precision motion, thermals, airflow, materials handling, chemistry, sensing, controls, and software all have to work at micron-scale precision, for thousands of layers, with almost no tolerance for error. Making that work reliably is an extraordinary engineering problem.
That's what we do.
At Formlabs, we're building 3D printers that are changing the way things get made. We have the smartest minds across every engineering discipline, and the technology they're building is deployed at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA.
Your Impact:
Our Manufacturing team makes 3D printing materials at scale, and Materials is one of the fastest-growing and most strategically important parts of our product portfolio. Our resins, the photopolymers that run on every Formlabs SLA printer, are formulated by our R&D team and produced in our own manufacturing facility.
We're looking for a technically strong Supply Chain Engineer to own the raw-material supply chain that feeds our resin factory. You'll manage a broad base of chemical suppliers for monomers, oligomers, photoinitiators, pigments, and additives, and you'll work hand in hand with the factory to make sure the right materials arrive on time, at the right quality, and at the right cost. Because small changes in a raw material can change how a resin prints, this role requires real technical depth: you'll need to understand the chemistry well enough to qualify suppliers, investigate quality issues, and partner with R&D on new formulations.
This is a role for an engineer who has worked close to production and wants ownership over the inputs that make it run.
The Job:
Raw-Material Supplier Management
- Own relationships with a broad base of chemical raw-material suppliers, running quarterly business reviews with scorecards for quality, delivery, cost, and responsiveness.
- Manage volume allocation across dual- and multi-sourced inputs to balance cost, capacity, and risk.
- Lead supplier qualification end-to-end, including technical assessments, site audits, sample evaluation with R&D and Quality, and maintenance of the Approved Supplier List.
- Investigate raw-material quality issues to root cause, working with suppliers, Quality, and the factory on lot-to-lot variability, specifications, certificates of analysis, and corrective actions.
Factory Partnership
- Act as the supply chain point of contact for the resin manufacturing facility, aligning raw-material supply with production plans, batch schedules, and inventory targets.
- Spend time on the factory floor to understand how incoming materials are received, stored, handled, and consumed, and use that knowledge to improve supply decisions.
- Partner with Planning and Manufacturing to set safety stock levels, manage shelf-life and storage constraints, and prevent line-down events.
Technical Sourcing & Alternate Materials
- Find and qualify new raw materials that enable R&D to develop new resin properties and products.
- Build alternate-source strategies for critical inputs, especially single-source chemicals.
- Manage the controlled ramp of qualified alternate materials into regular production, coordinating R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to ensure smooth transitions without changing product performance.
- Support NPI by sourcing new inputs, setting cost targets, and ensuring supply readiness ahead of launch.
Cost & Risk
- Build and maintain dashboards tracking current and forward-looking raw-material and resin COGS.
- Develop should-cost models grounded in chemistry and process economics to guide negotiations and cost reduction.
- Manage pricebooks and execute price change workflows.
- Maintain a live supply risk tracker covering single-source exposure, regulatory changes, supplier health, and market conditions for key chemical inputs, and lead mitigation planning.
Continuous Improvement
- Lead process improvement projects across the resin supply chain, from scoping through implementation.
- Turn manual, recurring work into scalable tools and processes.
You:
- Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a closely related field.
- 5+ years of experience in chemical, specialty materials, polymer, coatings, adhesives, or consumer goods manufacturing, in roles such as supplier quality, process engineering, plant operations, or raw-material sourcing.
- Direct experience working with chemical raw-material suppliers, including qualification, specifications, and quality investigations.
- Hands-on experience in or alongside a manufacturing plant, and a solid understanding of how raw-material variability affects production.
- Strong analytical skills: advanced Excel/Sheets required; SQL, Python, or Tableau a plus.
- Comfortable owning recurring processes end-to-end and leading cross-functional projects with a high degree of autonomy.
- Clear communicator with supplier technical teams, factory staff, R&D, and leadership.
Bonus Points
- Experience with photopolymers, UV-curable chemistry, or resin formulation.
- Familiarity with chemical regulatory and compliance requirements such as REACH, TSCA, GHS, and SDS management.
- Experience with hazardous materials handling, storage, or transport.
- ERP experience (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle).
- Graduate degree in engineering or chemistry.
Our Benefits & Perks:
- Unlimited 3D printing with any Formlabs material on any Formlabs printer
- An equity program that will let you build wealth through RSUs
- Healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision) that includes a totally free employee-only plan, effective starting on your first day on the job
- 401K matching with no vesting or tenure requirement
- Generous parental leave (fully paid up to 16 weeks)
- Flexible time off so you can take time when you need it
- Six-week fully paid sabbatical after hitting tenure milestones (with the option to take an additional six weeks after that)
- Free on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
- Free on-site lunch, snacks, beverages, treats, beer kegs, and employee-favorite local coffee and espresso
- Self-driven professional development opportunities like conferences, trade shows, and hackathons
- One-of-a-kind activities and events like monthly socials, the annual weekend summer camp, a can't-miss company hackathon, and lots of other social opportunities
You don't need to check every box to apply for a role. If you love working with hardware, spending time with smart people, solving hard problems, and winning, we want to hear from you.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Supply Chain Engineer
Map your degree to the LCA
Your H-1B visa depends on a direct connection between your degree field and your job duties. Supply Chain Engineers with degrees in industrial engineering, operations research, or systems engineering have the clearest path. Document that connection explicitly before your employer files.
Use OFLC Wage Search before negotiating
Your employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Pull the OFLC Wage Search for your specific metro area before accepting an offer so you can flag any gap before the LCA is filed.
Find verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Target employers with a documented history of H-1B filings in supply chain roles. Migrate Mate shows verified LCA sponsorship history by role and location, so you can prioritize outreach to companies already familiar with the filing process.
Confirm each worksite before your start date
If your role involves rotating between facilities or distribution centers, each worksite needs its own certified LCA before you work there. Raise this with HR early so your employer files site-specific LCAs and avoids compliance gaps.
Check your O*NET duties match your offer letter
USCIS may compare your job description against the O*NET occupation profile for supply chain engineers. Make sure your offer letter reflects degree-level duties like systems analysis, demand modeling, or process engineering rather than purely operational or coordination tasks.
File premium processing before project-critical start dates
Standard USCIS adjudication can take several months. If your employer has a project milestone or facility launch tied to your start date, request premium processing so the I-129 decision arrives within the USCIS-guaranteed timeframe and your onboarding stays on schedule.
H-1B Visa Supply Chain Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Supply Chain Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, Supply Chain Engineer typically qualifies as a specialty occupation because the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, operations research, supply chain management, or a closely related field. USCIS evaluates the specific duties in your offer letter, so your employer should ensure the job description reflects degree-level work such as systems modeling, demand forecasting, or procurement analytics rather than general logistics coordination.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most actively for Supply Chain Engineers?
Manufacturers, semiconductor companies, aerospace and defense contractors, pharmaceutical firms, and large consumer goods companies file LCAs for Supply Chain Engineer roles at high volumes. Tech companies with complex hardware supply chains are also active sponsors. You can browse employers with verified H-1B filing history in supply chain roles directly on Migrate Mate before you apply.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer changes my work location?
Each worksite requires its own certified LCA before you begin working there. If your employer moves you to a new facility or project site not covered by your existing LCA, they must file a new LCA with DOL and may need to amend your I-129 petition with USCIS. Failing to do this puts both you and your employer out of compliance, so confirm the process with HR before any worksite change.
How long does H-1B status last for a Supply Chain Engineer?
USCIS grants H-1B status for up to three years initially, with an extension available for a total of six years. Beyond six years, continued H-1B status typically requires an approved I-140 immigrant petition or a pending green card application that qualifies you for extended stays under the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act. Plan your green card timeline with your employer well before the six-year cap approaches.
What wage documentation should I gather before my employer files the LCA?
Your employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for your SOC code, job level, and metro area as determined by DOL. Pull the OFLC Wage Search for your specific location and job title before negotiations finalize. If your offer falls below the Level I or Level II prevailing wage for your area, your employer cannot certify the LCA and the H-1B petition cannot proceed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also publishes wage surveys that inform these determinations.
