Summary

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (EMBEDDED)

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 Embedded Software Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing critical embedded software systems that enable our advanced metal 3D printing factories to operate fully autonomously at high speeds with precision. This entails developing elegant software solutions for hardware control, high speed data acquisition, and custom high performance compute systems. Your software will effectively act as the nervous system of our fully automated metal printing factories. As a crucial member of the engineering team you will be responsible for driving the pace of innovation, maximizing development speed, and maintaining a standard of excellence within the entire engineering team.

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 state-of-the-art software for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing system
Design and develop the machine instruction interface to the metal 3D printing system hardware
Develop software to enable the computer vision system, monitor sensor data, perform calibrations, log quality data, and keep track of the health of the printing system over its lifetime
Work with process and control engineers to integrate control algorithms into production software
Work with FPGA developers to develop high-speed data acquisition software
Create software for collection and analysis of process data
Develop software required to implement production automation solutions
Develop, unit test, and deploy functional, scalable, robust, and maintainable software
Generate and maintain documentation of designed software and integrated systems

Basic Qualifications:

5+ years of experience in software development using C/C++ and/or Rust
Experience in real-time embedded system design with Linux OS
Experience in object-oriented programming and design

Nice to Have:

Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in computer science, applied mathematics, engineering, or related field
Experience working in a high performance compute environment (FPGAs or GPUs)
Experience with PCIe driver development and troubleshooting
Experience with high speed data acquisition and real time closed-loop-control systems
Excellent knowledge of OS coding techniques, IP protocols, interfaces, and hardware subsystems
Experience writing software for industrial automation systems, robotics, or related hardware
Creative thinker able to apply first-principles reasoning to solve complex problems
Excellent verbal and written communication skills

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.
Benefits
- Significant stock option packages
- 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (premium PPO and HMO options)
- Life insurance
- Traditional and Roth 401(k)
- Relocation assistance provided
- Paid vacation, sick leave, and company holidays
- Generous Paid Parental Leave and extended transition back to work for the birthing parent
- Free daily catered lunch and dinner, and fully stocked kitchenette
- Casual dress, flexible work hours, and regular catered team building events
Compensation
- As a growing company, the salary range is intentionally wide as we determine the most appropriate package for each individual taking into consideration years of experience, educational background, and unique skills and abilities as demonstrated throughout the interview process. Our intent is to offer a salary that is commensurate for the company's current stage of development and allows the employee to grow and develop within a role.
- In addition to the significant stock option package, the estimated salary range for this role is $140,000-$250,000. The upper end of the range is reserved for individuals who demonstrate exceptional experience, deep domain mastery, and a proven history of high performance and impact.
