About The Position

At Freeform, we're building the world's first AI-driven metal manufacturing factories - combining software-defined automation, state-of-the-art metal 3D printing, and full-stack process control to produce flawless parts at unprecedented speed and scale. Our proprietary platform leverages advanced sensing, real-time control, and machine learning to reimagine how critical parts are made. We're solving some of the hardest problems in manufacturing, and we know that takes bold, multidisciplinary leaders. That's why we're opening the door to exceptional technical minds across engineering development, manufacturing operations, and high-volume production who want to explore whether there's a natural fit here at Freeform. If you're a builder, a systems thinker, and a technical leader ready to roll up your sleeves and help reshape an industry, we'd love to hear from you. You may have led hardware development programs, built and scaled production systems, launched factories, or architected cutting-edge automation. You may even be a former founder who's lived through the challenges of doing something unknown for the first time. You may come from industries like aerospace, robotics, semiconductors, autonomous vehicles, or advanced manufacturing. We don't expect a perfect resume match. We're looking for uncommon talent that wants to apply their capabilities in an environment where engineering and operations are inseparable. This is not a job posting for a single role. It's an invitation to collaborate with us and explore how your background might align with some of our highest priority work.
