Job Description
SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER
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 Mechanical Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for leading mechanical design efforts across the company, as well as for driving the pace of innovation and maximizing hardware development speed. To be successful in this role, you must have extensive technical breadth in mechanical engineering concepts as well as specific expertise in architecting, designing, and developing complex mechanical systems, advanced robotics systems, or state‑of‑the‑art industrial automation systems. The ideal candidate is capable of acting as the technical lead for a complex system with the ability to work across engineering disciplines.
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!

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related technical field
5+ years of experience in mechanical systems design and development
CAD experience, including GD&T and detailed drawing documentation
Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with extensive hands‑on hardware development experience
Systems‑level thinker also able to perform detailed work; has previously delivered complex mechanical systems
Nice to Have
10+ years of experience designing mechanical systems for semiconductor, machining, automation, materials processing, or other related industrial manufacturing or capital equipment applications (e.g. additive manufacturing, semiconductor, robotics, CNC, or biomedical manufacturing equipment design engineering experience)
Advanced degree in mechanical engineering
Knowledge of motion control and kinematics
Experience with design of fluid or thermal systems
Working knowledge of electromechanical systems
Passion for improving the state of metal 3D printing
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Location
We are located in Hawthorne, CA in a 35,000 square foot, state‑of‑the‑art facility featuring large open spaces for team collaboration, R&D, and production, as well as easy access to the 405, 105, and 110 freeways. Our facility is in the heart of Los Angeles' vibrant emerging tech ecosystem alongside many other high‑growth startups and enterprises.
What We Offer
