Description

SOFTWARE ENGINEER (FACTORY EDGE SERVICES) 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! Responsibilities: Architect state-of-the art backend software and factory edge services for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing factory. Develop software to collect, transform, and query petabytes worth of sensor data. Perform calibrations, log quality data, and keep track of the health of the printing system over its lifetime. Create data pipelines to feed the machine learning team with critical print data. Develop, unit test, and deploy functional, scalable, robust, and maintainable software. Basic Qualifications: 3+ years of professional experience in software development. Proficiency writing, deploying, and maintaining performance oriented backend services (preferably Rust, Go, C++, Java or Python). Experience developing robust data pipeline software. Nice to Have: Degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or related field. Experience with Arrow, Parquet, Iceberg, Spark, Kafka. Experience with time series databases, big data warehousing solutions and cloud computing. Experience with containerized applications and deployment via Kubernetes. Experience deploying to and working with physical hardware. Experience working with high-speed high-volume data processing pipelines. Familiarity with 3D data and graphics. Creative thinker able to apply first principles reasoning to solve complex problems. Excellent verbal and written communication skills Location: We are located in Hawthorne, CA in a 35,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility featuring large open spaces for team collaboration, R&D, and production, as well as easy access to the 405, 105, and 110 freeways. Our facility is in the heart of Los Angeles' vibrant emerging tech ecosystem alongside many other high growth startups and enterprises.
