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.

As an Embedded Software Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for contributing to the architecture of critical embedded software systems that enable our advanced metal 3D printing factories to operate fully autonomously at high speeds with precision. This entails developing elegant software solutions for hardware control, high speed data acquisition, and custom high-performance compute systems. Your software will effectively act as the nervous system of our fully automated metal printing factories.

As a crucial member of the engineering team you will be responsible for driving the pace of innovation, maximizing development speed, and maintaining a standard of excellence within the entire engineering team.
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!### Responsibilities
* Contribute to the architecture of state-of-the art software for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing system
* Design and develop the machine instruction interface to the metal 3D printing system hardware
* 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
* Develop software required to implement production automation solutions
* Develop, unit test, and deploy functional, scalable, robust, and maintainable software
* Generate and maintain documentation of designed software and integrated systems### Basic Qualifications
* 3+ years of experience in software development using C/C++ and/or Rust
* Experience in real-time embedded system design with Linux OS
* Experience in object-oriented programming and design### Nice to Have
* Bachelor’s or master's in computer science, applied mathematics, engineering, or related field
* Experience working in a high-performance compute environment (FPGAs or GPUs)
* Experience with PCIe driver development and troubleshooting
* Experience with high-speed data acquisition and real time closed-loop-control systems
* Excellent knowledge of OS coding techniques, IP protocols, interfaces, and hardware subsystems
* Experience writing software for industrial automation systems, robotics, or related hardware
* Creative thinker able to apply first-principles reasoning to solve complex problems
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Location:

* Based in Hawthorne, our vertically integrated facility brings technology development, R&D, and production together under one roof. We operate at the center of LA’s deep tech ecosystem, surrounded by some of the most ambitious hardware innovation happening anywhere in the country.
* Our fast-paced, cross-functional environment is built on close…
