SOFTWARE ENGINEER (NEW GRAD SUMMER 2026)

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 Software Engineer at Freeform, you will play a key role in developing and deploying the software systems that power our autonomous metal 3D printing factories. You'll work with a talented engineering team from some of the world's most innovative companies across a range of projects including controls, high-speed data acquisition, high-performance computing (GPU's and FPGA's), and geometry processing pipelines that enable precise and fully automated manufacturing at scale. Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, and scalability of our factory systems. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative on complex technical problems, and works collaboratively across disciplines to deliver robust, high-performance software solutions. This is an opportunity to build foundational systems for a new category of manufacturing technology - where your code doesn't just run, it drives physical innovation.

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 and develop software for an advanced, production-scale metal 3D printing factory
  • Work with process, control, and mechanical engineers to integrate control algorithms into production software
  • Improve and scale out high-rate data acquisition, storage, and retrieval systems
  • Implement processes for converting customer part geometries into machine print instructions

Basic Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
  • Internship or engineering club experience such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, hackathons, or similar programming with C / C++
  • Nice to Have :

  • Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in computer science or computer engineering
  • Experience interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGA, or GPU computing hardware
  • Experience developing embedded or real-time software systems
  • Experience writing software for industrial automation systems, rockets, spacecrafts, robotics, or related hardware that operates with the physical world
  • Experience working in a Linux or RTOS environment
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)
  • Strong communicator who collaborates across disciplines and proactively seeks support when needed
  • Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
  • Strong work ethic with a refuse-to-fail mindset
  • Demonstrated indicators of excellence and / or achieving success against adversity (i.e. top academic performance, leadership in engineering clubs, first-generation college student, or other examples of resilience and achievement)
  • 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.
  • What We Offer :

  • We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.
  • We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling world-changing technology.
  • Benefits
  • Significant stock option packages

  • 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (premium PPO and HMO options)
  • Life insurance
  • Traditional and Roth 401(k)
  • Relocation assistance provided
  • Paid vacation, sick leave, and company holidays
  • Generous Paid Parental Leave and extended transition back to work for the birthing parent
  • Free daily catered lunch and dinner, and fully stocked kitchenette
  • Casual dress, flexible work hours, and regular catered team building events
  • Compensation
  • Our intent is to offer a salary that is commensurate for the company's current stage of development and allows the employee to grow and develop within a role.

  • In addition to the significant stock option package, the estimated salary range for this role is $110,000-$120,000, dependent on the candidate's education and experience .
