Description
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/C++ or Rust
Experience with high-performance systems software such as hardware control systems, embedded software, high-volume telemetry systems, graphics rendering, or similar
Nice to Have:
Bachelor’s or advanced degree in computer science or computer engineering
8+ 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:
Based in Hawthorne, our vertically integrated facility brings technology development, R&D, and production together under one roof. We operate at the center of LA’s deep tech ecosystem, surrounded by some of the most ambitious hardware innovation happening anywhere in the country.
Our fast-paced, cross-functional environment is built on close collaboration, and as such, this role requires full-time onsite presence (five days a week), with very limited exceptions.
What We Offer:
We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.
We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling a world-changing technology.
