Software Engineer

Join Freeform, a pioneering company in autonomous metal 3D printing technology. As a Software Engineer, you will develop and deploy software systems that power our advanced manufacturing factories. You will work with a talented engineering team on various projects, including controls, high-speed data acquisition, high-performance computing, and geometry processing pipelines. Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, and scalability of our factory systems. This is an opportunity to build foundational systems for a new category of manufacturing technology.

• 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.
• The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative on complex technical problems, and works collaboratively across disciplines to deliver robust, high-performance software solutions
• Proficiency in a systems level programming language such as C/C++ or Rust
• Experience with high-performance systems software such as hardware control software, embedded software, high-volume telemetry systems, graphics rendering, or similar
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, or physics
• Experience interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGA, or GPU computing hardware
• Experience developing embedded or real-time software systems
• Experience writing software for industrial automation systems, rockets, spacecrafts, robotics, or related hardware that operates with the physical world
• Experience working in a Linux or RTOS environment
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)
• Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
• Strong communicator who collaborates across disciplines and proactively seeks support when needed
• 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)
