SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Freeform builds AI-native manufacturing systems that unify software, hardware, and physics to produce industrial-scale parts at the speed of human ideation. By treating manufacturing as a single integrated system, we unlock a new era of innovation where complex hardware is designed, built, and scaled without limits.

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!

Responsibilities:

• Architect and develop software for an advanced, production-scale metal 3D printing system
• Work with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and physicists to integrate control algorithms into production software
• Improve and scale out petabyte-scale, high-rate telemetry, storage, and retrieval systems
• Use computer science and engineering fundamentals to solve notoriously challenging algorithmic and optimization problems
• Develop high-performance compute solutions using GPU parallel processing
• Move fast, innovate, don’t over-engineer things, be a good teammate, be flexible and open to new ideas, and push the bounds of what’s possible

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional experience in software development
• Proficiency in a systems level programming language such as C++, Go, or Rust
• Experience with high-performance systems software such as high-volume telemetry systems, hardware control systems, real-time embedded Linux, or similar

Nice to Have:

• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in computer science or computer engineering
• 10+ years of professional software development experience
• Experience building out backend infrastructure, high-performance storage solutions, streaming processing systems, scientific analysis pipelines and workflows
• Experience writing software for industrial automation systems, robotics, or related hardware
• Experience with operations systems, computer architecture, or similar computer systems internals
• Experience with computer graphics or similar geometry-intensive problems
• Experience operating as a technical lead, driving architectural decisions and mentoring junior engineers

Location:
