Job description

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.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing critical software systems for our autonomous 3D printing factories. You'll have an opportunity to touch many different aspects of our software ecosystem from hardware control, to high‑rate telemetry and big data storage systems, to high‑performance compute and machine learning pipelines. We don’t develop software in a vacuum, we develop it alongside a multi‑disciplinary team with specific, real‑world purposes, so collaboration and systems‑level thinking are essential to success. If working in an environment where you can rapidly deploy code to solve problems on the cutting edge of AI‑enabled manufacturing technology sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you!

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!

Experience with computer graphics or similar geometry‑intensive problems

Experience operating as a technical lead, driving architectural decisions and mentoring junior engineers
