About The Position

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. In this role, you will design and build the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that serves as the digital backbone of Freeform’s autonomous metal production factories, connecting the full manufacturing lifecycle from quoting and work orders through scheduling, production, quality, and delivery.
