Freeform
Overview
Senior FPGA Engineer position at Freeform. Freeform is deploying software-defined, autonomous metal 3D printing factories around the world, bringing the scalability of software to physical production. Our proprietary technology stack leverages advanced sensing, real-time controls, and data-driven learning to produce digitally-verified, flawless parts at unprecedented speed and cost. Our mission is to make the transformative power of 3D printing available to all industries at scale and unlock the future of innovation. As a Senior FPGA Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing a custom compute platform that enables the world’s first AI-driven, intelligent metal 3D printing technology. You will work with the latest FPGA technologies including the Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC to scale a high-throughput, low-latency image processing pipeline. You will also have an opportunity to integrate FPGA solutions with state-of-the-art GPUs to create an advanced machine learning acceleration platform. High-performance computing is central to Freeform’s technology, making this a high-impact role where you’ll develop core IP for a world-changing technology. 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here — we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology. Responsibilities
Develop FPGA solutions to scale a high-throughput, low-latency image processing pipeline Develop custom FPGA capabilities to enable real-time machine learning Develop new logic components for use on FPGAs Implement custom algorithms on FPGAs for signal processing Implement custom controllers on FPGAs Work with software and electrical teams to interface with FPGA components Basic Qualifications
