## Description

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.

As an Embedded Software Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for contributing to the architecture of critical embedded software systems that enable our advanced metal 3D printing factories to operate fully autonomously at high speeds with precision. This entails developing software solutions for hardware control/autonomy, high speed data acquisition, and custom high-performance compute systems. Projects will vary across the stack, so we expect our engineers to be flexible and always put the mission first., * Contribute to the architecture of 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
