Senior Software Engineer (Computational Geometry)
Freeform, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY)
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 Senior Computational Geometry Software Engineer at Freeform, you will play a critical role in developing the pre-print, computational geometry software platform for our metal 3D printing production system. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and integrating software systems that enable the first production-scale, high-quality, and fully-automated metal 3D printing factory capability. 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:Develop algorithms for geometry deformation, procedural geometry generation, and space-filling operationsWork with simulations engineers to integrate physics-based and data-driven models into the software simulation pipelineIntegrate 2D and 3D meshing techniques into the physical simulation software pipelineWork with data scientists to develop and deploy machine learning algorithmsDesign and develop the print preparation software pipeline for an advanced production-scale metal 3D printing systemDevelop software to automate the CAD import, geometry processing, slicing, and toolpath planning of an advanced laser melting printing systemWork with back-end software developers to architect the software interface to the metal 3D printing hardware layerDevelop software required to implement production automation solutions in the front-end geometry processing pipelineCreate software to interface with third-party CAD and CAM softwareDevelop, unit test, and deploy functional, scalable, robust, and maintainable softwareGenerate and maintain documentation of designed software and integrated systemsIntegrate third-party software packages into proprietary softwareBasic Qualifications:5+ years of experience in software development using C++ (C++11/14/17)Extensive background in object-oriented programming and designProficient in computational geometryNice to Have:Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in computer science, applied mathematics, or related field highly preferredExperience developing advanced software for 3D visual effects, animation, or graphics industriesExperience interfacing with CAD and CAM software APIsExperience with 2D and 3D meshing techniquesKnowledge of MATLAB and Python is a plusExperience with cloud computing is a plusProficient with software configuration management toolsExperience with optimization techniquesCreative thinker able to apply first-principles reasoning to solve complex problemsExcellent verbal and written communication skillsLocation: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 a world-changing technology.Benefits:
Significant stock option packages100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (premium PPO and HMO options)Life insuranceTraditional and Roth 401(k)Relocation assistance providedPaid vacation, sick leave, and company holidaysGenerous Paid Parental Leave and extended transition back to work for the birthing parentFree daily catered lunch and dinner, and fully stocked kitchenetteCasual dress, flexible work hours, and regular catered team building events
Compensation:
As a growing company, the salary range is intentionally wide as we determine the most appropriate package for each individual taking into consideration years of experience, educational background, and unique skills and abilities as demonstrated throughout the interview process. 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 $140,000-$250,000, inclusive of all levels/seniority within this discipline.
