Electrical Engineer (Hardware Design)

Join Freeform, a cutting-edge company in the metal 3D printing industry. As an Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for the design and development of custom electronics for our advanced factory systems. You will work with a talented engineering team and have the opportunity to tackle new areas within electrical engineering. The position offers a range of benefits, including 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, significant stock options, and a flexible work environment.

• Design and develop custom electronics for advanced metal 3D printing factory systems, with a focus on PCB and compute system design.
• Contribute to electrical architecture, product requirements, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, product management, productization, manufacturing, and test.
• Drive component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test, and hands-on debugging of unexpected issues.
• 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!
• The ideal candidate is capable of running projects from cradle to grave and has the ability to work effectively with other engineering disciplines
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
• Well-versed in electrical engineering fundamentals and comfortable taking a first-principles approach to solving problems
• 2+ years of professional experience designing and delivering complex electrical hardware
• Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in electrical engineering
• Familiarity with industrial automation technologies, robotics, spacecraft avionics, or similar high-performance electromechanical system
• Experience with sensors, embedded microcontroller design and firmware, and FPGA hardware and software development
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)
• Experience with high-speed data acquisition systems, high-accuracy motion systems, high-speed scanning systems, or similar camera/telemetry-based control systems
• Strong communicator who collaborates across disciplines and proactively seeks support when needed
• Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
• Strong work ethic with a refuse-to-fail mindset
• Demonstrated indicators of excellence and/or achieving success against adversity (i.e. top academic performance, leadership in engineering clubs, first-generation college student, or other examples of resilience and achievement)
