C++ Software Engineer Real-time Systems AI FPGAs GPUs Back End Engineer

About Freeform: Freeform is revolutionizing metal 3D printing by deploying software-defined, autonomous factories that bring the scalability of software to physical production. Our proprietary technology leverages real-time AI, advanced computing (FPGAs, GPUs), and precise controls to deliver flawless metal parts at unprecedented speeds and costs. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, we are backed by top investors including NVIDIA, Boeing, and Threshold Ventures. We are seeking a Software Engineer (C++) to join our software team and contribute to cutting-edge systems that control and optimize our metal printing processes.

Role Overview: As a Software Engineer (C++) at Freeform, you will play a role in developing the software systems that power our autonomous metal 3D printing factories. You will work on real-time systems that monitor and control the printing process at a microsecond level, ensuring precision and quality. This role involves designing and implementing software components that interface with hardware (FPGAs, GPUs, MCUs) and network systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop C++ applications for real-time monitoring and control of metal 3D printing processes.
  • Collaborate with hardware teams to integrate software with FPGAs, GPUs, and other embedded systems.
  • Optimize algorithms for speed and resource usage, ensuring the system meets performance requirements.
  • Contribute to the architecture of distributed systems that handle large datasets from sensors and feedback loops.
  • Work with machine learning models that require real-time inference for process control.

Qualifications:

  • 3-5 years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on systems programming.
  • Proficiency in C++ and experience with embedded systems development.
  • Understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, and low-latency programming.
  • Basic experience with hardware-software interfaces, particularly with FPGAs and GPUs.
  • Familiarity with machine learning and AI systems.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and learn quickly.

Why Join Freeform?

  • Work on cutting-edge technology that is transforming manufacturing.
  • Collaborate with a small, talented team of experts from top companies like SpaceX and Apple.
  • Competitive salary and equity in a pre-IPO company.
  • Generous benefits including 100% employer-paid healthcare, free lunches, and a supportive work environment.
