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. In this role, you will design and build the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that serves as the digital backbone of Freeform's autonomous metal production factories, connecting the full manufacturing lifecycle from quoting and work orders through scheduling, production, quality, and delivery. You'll build scalable systems that manage complex factory workflows, large volumes of production and machine data, and complete end to end traceability and part genealogy from powder-in to finished parts-out. Working closely with product management and engineers across software, manufacturing, automation, and quality, you'll make foundational technical decisions and develop the software that enables Freeform's factories to operate efficiently, intelligently, and at scale. 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 implement a state-of-the-art enterprise software platform to seamlessly integrate Freeform's business processes from sales to manufacturing * Develop applications to track the end-to-end lifecycle of millions of parts across thousands of customers around the world * Act as engineer, product owner, and team lead - scoping features, driving pace of schedule, assigning tasks, and delivering results * Work cross-functionally with other engineering and operations disciplines to gather requirements and solve problems with your code * Design highly scalable and resilient systems to meet Freeform's high bar for quality, reliability, and security * Maintain accessibility and integrity of the backend data model to enable easy access for business intelligence users * Design and develop intuitive user interfaces with a focus on functionality over aesthetics to increase system usability ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development)
