Local Maya

Maya will graduate from Olin in the spring with a degree in robotic engineering. Two of the companies with which she interned have been actively recruiting her for full-time work after she graduates. The first, Rivian, is an electric car (adventure vehicle) company headquartered in Irvine, CA. The second is Formlabs, a 3D printer company located in Somerville, MA. It will surprise no one that her mother and I (and her brothers) would really prefer to see her remain in the area. At the same time, we want most for her to be happy. It has been clear that she was most excited by the mission of Rivian but earlier today she concluded that the actual day-to-day work at Formlabs would be more in line with what she wants to do long term. We could not have been more thrilled when she informed us this evening that she had accepted the Formlabs offer. A burrito celebration is being planned.
