Freeform is deploying software-defined, autonomous metal 3D printing factories around the world, bringing the scalability of software to physical production. The company needs to develop robust software solutions for kinematic hardware control systems, high speed data acquisition systems, and custom high performance compute interfaces to enable these factories to operate fully autonomously at high speeds with precision.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in software development using C/C++ and/or Rust
- Experience in real-time embedded system design
- Experience writing software for industrial automation systems, robotics, or related hardware
- Experience working in a high-performance compute environment (FPGAs or GPUs)
- Experience with high-speed data acquisition and real time closed-loop-control systems
- Excellent knowledge of OS coding techniques, IP protocols, interfaces, and hardware subsystems
Responsibilities
- Architect state-of-the-art software for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing system
- Design and develop the kinematic hardware control software for printing factory automation
- Develop software to enable the computer vision system, monitor sensor data, perform calibrations, log quality data, and keep track of the health of the printing system over its lifetime
- Work with process and control engineers to integrate control algorithms into production software
- Work with FPGA developers to develop high-speed data acquisition software
- Create software for collection and analysis of process data
- Rapidly deploy new features. Iterate fast and innovate by doing
Other
- Degree in computer science, computer engineering, physics, or mechanical engineering
- Creative thinker able to apply first-principles reasoning to solve complex problems
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.
- Relocation assistance provided
