Head of Product (Hardware)

Rapid Liquid Print (RLP) is a pioneering force in elastomer product manufacturing, reshaping possibilities with our embedded gel printing technique from MIT. This breakthrough eliminates 3D printing constraints, enabling RLP to swiftly produce large-scale, high-resolution, elastomeric products in minutes. Our innovative approach defies gravity by suspending prints within a safe, reusable gel matrix, revolutionizing non-planar printing for cost-effective solutions in medical, apparel, home goods, aviation, marine, and automotive industries. Towards the next generation of advanced RLP printers, we are enhancing machines, software, and material capabilities while designing a comprehensive system for high-volume production.

At RLP, we redefine the future of manufacturing, set new standards, and foster unparalleled innovation in flexible product creation. Join us on this journey if you aspire to be part of a cutting-edge team shaping the future.
