Our mission is to make the transformative power of 3D printing available to all industries at scale and unlock the future of innovation.
As a Manufacturing Engineer at Freeform, you’ll be at the forefront of scaling production for high-performance metal 3D printed parts. You’ll work with a talented engineering team from some of the world’s most innovative companies across a range of projects to develop and refine the processes, tooling, and CNC machining workflows that enable precision manufacturing at speed and scale. This role is hands-on and fast-paced, ideal for someone eager to learn and contribute to the development of our autonomous metal 3D printing factories.
You’ll focus on optimizing post-processing and machining operations, helping to bridge the gap between R&D and production.
3D printing experience is not required tobe successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative individuals who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
Responsibilities:
- Work closely with engineers to design and implement scalable manufacturing processes for new hardware and printed parts
- Support part flow through the factory by improving fixturing, test procedures, and post-processing steps
- Develop lightweight documentation and process standards to support scaling production without slowing engineering iteration
- Build and iterate on tooling, jigs, and test setups to support reliable, high-throughput production
- Help identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in how parts, materials, and data move through the factory, and work with cross-functional teams to improve them
- Support early production of high-performance printed parts, helping bridge the gap between R&D and high-rate manufacturing
- Contribute to CNC machining workflows, including programming, setup, and optimization of multi-axis operations for post-processing of printed parts
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering from an ABET-accredited university or college
- Hands on manufacturing or build experience from internships or engineering clubs such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, or similar
- Experience working with hand tools, machinery, or complex hardware assembly
- Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering
- Experience with CNC machining, including 3 or 5-axis programming and/or setup
- Experience with metal additive manufacturing or precision post-processing
- Exposure to fixturing, DFM, or process validation
- Experience scaling early-stage R&D into production
- Familiarity with MRP/ERP tools and lightweight production tracking systems
- Familiarity with manufacturing process development in a fast-paced hardware environment
- Ability to translate high-level engineering goals into practical factory processes
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the…
