Software Engineer (Edge Data & Telemetry)
About The Position
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 factory edge services, backend data pipeline infrastructure and advanced telemetry capabilities of our metal 3D printing systems. You will work with petabyte-scale data feeds, enabling Freeform engineers to rapidly access critical data across the factory ecosystem. You will work with our machine learning team to provide data pipelines that feed the printing industry’s first GPU-based ML platform. Ultimately, your code will enable the first production scale, high quality, and fully automated metal 3D printing factory. 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!
