## Description

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing critical embedded software systems that enable our advanced metal 3D printing factories to operate fully autonomously at high speeds with precision. This entails developing elegant software solutions for hardware control, high speed data acquisition, and custom high performance compute systems. Your software will effectively act as the nervous system of our fully automated metal printing factories. As a crucial member of the engineering team you will be responsible for driving the pace of innovation, maximizing development speed, and maintaining a standard of excellence within the entire engineering team.

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 software for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing system
 * Design and develop the machine instruction interface to the metal 3D printing system hardware
 * Develop software to enable the computer vision system, monitor sensor data, perform calibrations, log quality data, and keep track of the health of the printing system over its lifetime
 * Work with process and control engineers to integrate control algorithms into production software
 * Work with FPGA developers to develop high-speed data acquisition software
 * Create software for collection and analysis of process data
 * Develop software required to implement production automation solutions
 * Develop, unit test, and deploy functional, scalable, robust, and maintainable software
 * Generate and maintain documentation of designed software and integrated systems
