Freeform is deploying software-defined, autonomous metal 3D printing factories around the world, bringing the scalability of software to physical production. Our proprietary technology stack leverages advanced sensing, real-time controls, and data-driven learning to produce digitally-verified, flawless parts at unprecedented speed and cost. Our mission is to make the transformative power of 3D printing available to all industries at scale and unlock the future of innovation.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience in software development using C/C++ and/or Rust with a Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering, or 4+ years of professional software experience without a degree
- Experience in real-time embedded system design with Linux OS
- Experience in object-oriented programming and design
- 3+ years of experience in embedded software development
- 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
- Contribute to the architecture state-of-the art software for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing system
- Design and develop the machine instruction interface to the metal 3D printing system hardware
- 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
- Develop software required to implement production automation solutions
Other
- As a crucial member of the engineering team you will be responsible for driving the pace of innovation, maximizing development speed, and maintaining a standard of excellence within the entire engineering team.
- 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!
- 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.
