Software Engineer, Freeform

• 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
• Internship or engineering club experience such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, hackathons, or similar programming with C/C++ or Rust
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)

Desirable

• As a Software Engineer at Freeform, you will play a key role in developing and deploying the software systems that power our autonomous metal 3D printing factories
• You’ll work with a talented engineering team from some of the world’s most innovative companies across a range of projects including controls, high-speed data acquisition, high-performance computing (GPU’s and FPGA’s), and geometry processing pipelines that enable precise and fully automated manufacturing at scale
• Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, and scalability of our factory systems
• The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative on complex technical problems, and works collaboratively across disciplines to deliver robust, high-performance software solutions
• This is an opportunity to build foundational systems for a new category of manufacturing technology - where your code doesn’t just run, it drives physical innovation
• Architect and develop software for an advanced, production-scale metal 3D printing factory
• Work with process, control, and mechanical engineers to integrate control algorithms into production software
• Improve and scale out high-rate data acquisition, storage, and retrieval systems
• Implement processes for converting customer part geometries into machine print instructions
