TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Teams : Engineering, Manufacturing, and Production Leadership

Join Us in Inventing the Future of Manufacturing

At Freeform, we're building the world's first AI-driven metal manufacturing factories - combining software-defined automation, state-of-the-art metal 3D printing, and full-stack process control to produce flawless parts at unprecedented speed and scale. Our proprietary platform leverages advanced sensing, real-time control, and machine learning to reimagine how critical parts are made.

We're solving some of the hardest problems in manufacturing, and we know that takes bold, multidisciplinary leaders. That's why we're opening the door to exceptional technical minds across engineering development, manufacturing operations, and high-volume production who want to explore whether there's a natural fit here at Freeform.

If you're a builder, a systems thinker, and a technical leader ready to roll up your sleeves and help reshape an industry, we'd love to hear from you.

Who We're Looking For

You may have led hardware development programs, built and scaled production systems, launched factories, or architected cutting-edge automation. You may even be a former founder who's lived through the challenges of doing something unknown for the first time. You may come from industries like aerospace, robotics, semiconductors, autonomous vehicles, or advanced manufacturing. We don't expect a perfect resume match. We're looking for uncommon talent that wants to apply their capabilities in an environment where engineering and operations are inseparable.

This is not a job posting for a single role. It's an invitation to collaborate with us and explore how your background might align with some of our highest priority work.

Ideal candidates will bring some combination of the following :

  • A strong technical foundation in engineering or manufacturing, with deep expertise in at least one domain and fluency across disciplines.
  • Experience architecting or building complex physical systems from first principles to final integration.
  • Proven leadership in fast-paced, technically ambitious environments.
  • A bias for action, clarity of thought, and a passion for solving real-world problems.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, zero-to-one builds, and "building the plane as we fly it."
  • A hands-on approach capable of both setting a vision as well as jumping into details.

Bonus experience that catches our eye :

  • Scaling R&D operations into full production
  • Standing up a factory or test facility from scratch
  • Industrial automation, robotics, or high-mix manufacturing
  • MRP / ERP design and implementation
  • Metal additive manufacturing
  • Why Freeform

    We're not just designing new machines - we're redesigning how metal parts are made, how factories are run, and how physical goods scale. That means thinking holistically, working cross-functionally, and learning fast.

    You'll work side-by-side with an elite team of engineers, operators, and builders who take ownership from concept to production. You'll help define how we grow, and your impact will be visible in every part we ship.

    Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary + significant pre-IPO stock option packages
  • 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Traditional & Roth 401(k)
  • Paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Free daily catered lunch & dinner
  • Flexible hours, startup energy, and a culture that values both excellence and humility
  • Brand-new 35,000 sq ft HQ in Hawthorne, CA designed for collaboration and iteration
  • Apply

    If this resonates with you, even if you're not actively looking, we encourage you to submit a resume or LinkedIn profile. We'll explore together whether there's a mutual fit, now or in the near future.
