Description

SENIOR PROCESS ENGINEER (ADVANCED R&D)

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.
As a Senior Process Engineer at Freeform, you will have the unique opportunity to invent novel processes for the world’s most advanced metal 3D printing systems. You will deep dive into complex, multi-physics phenomena to gain a fundamental understanding of the system and use those learnings to create a new state-of-the-art process. You will work alongside an interdisciplinary team of mechanical, software, and simulations engineers to analyze massive in-situ data sets as well as post-print material characteristics and rapidly iterate on improving the printing technology with machine learning. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in a fast-paced R&D environment, solving very audacious problems from scratch.
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!

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in material science, physics, mechanical engineering, or similar engineering discipline
  • 5+ years of process development experience in complex physics-based applications such as semiconductor, solar, or additive manufacturing
  • Experience developing Design of Experiments (DOE), statistical data analysis, and process optimization
  • Experience gathering and processing large data sets

Responsibilities
  • Develop a deep understanding of the metal additive process and hardware operation by analyzing massive in-situ data sets to gain insight into physical mechanisms of the printing process
  • Work independently to design and execute experiments, analyze data, and develop and optimize processes on a metal additive system
  • Perform post-build metrology measurements and analysis of material properties such as tensile strength, surface roughness, and alloy microstructure
  • Generate and track quality metrics of printed customer parts such as dimensional accuracy, defect distribution, and surface roughness
  • Develop and implement tool qualification procedures
  • Collaborate with mechanical, software, and simulations engineers to analyze data and rapidly improve printing processes
  • Strategize continuous improvement plans to enhance system performance, reliability, and scalability
