Job DescriptionJob Description SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (ROBOTIC SYSTEMS)

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.

In this role, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing critical software systems that enable our advanced metal 3D printing factories to operate fully autonomously at high speeds with precision. This entails developing robust software solutions for kinematic hardware control systems, high speed data acquisition systems, and custom high performance compute interfaces. Your software will effectively act as the nervous system of our fully automated metal printing factories. If you want to work in an environment where you can rapidly deploy code that has a tangible and meaningful impact on the real world, we'd love to hear from you!

Responsibilities:

Architect state-of-the-art software for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing system

Design and develop the kinematic hardware control software for printing factory automation

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
