Desirable

• As a Mechanical Engineer at Freeform, you will own projects cradle to grave as a responsible engineer, taking advanced manufacturing hardware from initial concept through design, fabrication, testing, and deployment
• You will not just be designing components; you will be architecting the future of production. You will contribute to the development of entirely new manufacturing technologies from scratch, ranging from additive machine design to integrated subtractive and post-processing solutions
• Act as a responsible engineer in bringing hardware from concept, to CAD, to production
• Work with senior engineers to research, develop, design, and test complex mechanical components, subassemblies, equipment, and systems
• Perform tolerance analysis of designs at the system and subsystem level
• Plan and perform tests to analyze the feasibility, design, operation and performance of equipment, components, and systems
• Work hands-on to build, integrate, and validate designs and newly developed systems and/or subsystems
• Strategize continuous improvement plans to enhance system performance, reliability, and manufacturability
