Freeform (http://freeform.co) | Software Engineers | Full-time | Onsite | Hawthorne, CA (Los Angeles County)

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. This isn’t just an improvement; it’s a leap forward in how complex metal parts are made, with the ability to revolutionize industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, and beyond. We are backed by top VCs including NVIDIA’s NVentures, Founders Fund, Threshold Ventures, and Apandion.

It’s a small, tight-knit team and you’d have the opportunity to own significant and impactful greenfield projects throughout the entire development lifecycle and much more. Our software team comes from the likes of Google, SpaceX, and Apple, and believes in taking a first principles approach to solving hard problems.

Freeform (http://freeform.co ) | Software Engineers | Full-time | Onsite | Los Angeles, CA

Freeform is deploying metal 3D printing factories at global scale and setting a new frontier in manufacturing. With AI, GPUs, and FPGAs working in tandem, our system monitors and corrects every microsecond of the process, delivering a level of precision, speed, and quality that’s never been possible—until now. This isn’t just an improvement; it’s a leap forward in how complex metal parts are made, with the ability to revolutionize industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, and beyond. We are backed by top VCs including NVIDIA’s NVentures, Founders Fund, and Threshold Ventures.

It’s a small, tight-knit team and you’d have the opportunity to own significant and impactful greenfield projects throughout the entire development lifecycle and much more. Our software team comes from the likes of Google, SpaceX, and Apple, and believe in taking a first principles approach to solving hard problems.

Our team recently secured a key partnership with NVIDIA’s inception program and have been diving into advanced hardware acceleration, leveraging high-speed vision systems alongside modern GPUs and FPGAs to power up our autonomous metal 3D printing factories at a global scale.

It's a very exciting inflection point to get into the company at an early stage where we are at the cusp of securing multi-million-dollar annually recurring production opportunities with many of the top/largest aerospace, automotive, industrial and semiconductor companies.

We are hiring C++ and Rust Engineers who want to get their hands on cutting-edge robotics applications.
