Who We Are:
At Formic, we’re on a mission to revolutionize American manufacturing and create more abundance in the world. We believe in continuing the American legacy of innovation by making automation accessible to all manufacturers and increasing their factory productivity by 10x.
Built upon deep expertise in robotics and manufacturing, our unique Pay-for-Productivity robotics solutions combine the best automation technology, tools, and uptime services for manufacturers, paving the way for a new era of supercharged efficiency and competitiveness.
As the world faces growing pressure from rising costs and labor shortages, Formic is a uniquely powerful tool in overcoming these challenges. Fueled by our vision for a resurged “Made in America,” we’re growing fast - achieving 70% quarterly growth in customer count and ARR, with ~30% of our customers having already deployed multiple systems.
Supporting us in our mission, with investments thus far totaling over $60 million, are backers including Blackhorn Ventures, Mitsubishi HC Capital America, NEC, Lorimer Ventures, Translink Capital, Alumni Ventures, FJ Labs, Lux Capital, Initialized Capital and founders of multiple Fortune 50 companies.

You will define that vision in the form of requirements, desired outcomes, and a prototyping and test plan that you will execute in a hands-on manner to validate the viability of the proposed solution(s). Ultimately, for products that are determined to have high product-market fit and that Formic can offer credibly and successfully, you will develop and manage a product roadmap conceived of and built from scratch for Formic’s Product & Software organizations to execute on, as well as execution guidelines for Formic’s deployment and maintenance resources to support on real-world delivery.
As part of Formic’s Product team, you will be accountable for the evaluation, development, and delivery of new products and services that expand Formic’s breadth of offering and reach within existing and new customer accounts. You will take the lead in honing the vision and development methodology for the product innovation initiative and evolve that approach into a successful, scalable, and rapid area of the Product organization.
This position is highly impactful in establishing a strategic portfolio of new products and ensuring that the technical & operational performance and the customer experience outcomes are superb and consistent with the Formic brand.
