3 weeks ago
Overview
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.
In this role, you will be responsible for leading the development and deployment of custom opto-mechanical systems for the world’s most advanced metal 3D printing systems. You will establish and scale processes for how we build, assemble, align, and integrate opto-mechanical systems. You will work with high-power lasers, high-speed cameras, and other proprietary hardware and software to integrate novel capabilities. This is a hands-on role in which you will be expected to own hardware development, testing, and implementation yourself. Opto-mechanical systems lie at the heart of our technology, so this is a high-impact opportunity at a rapidly growing deep-tech company.
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- Build, assemble, align, and deploy complex opto-mechanical systems.
- Develop procedures for scaling in-house opto-mechanical build processes from prototype to volume production.
- Integrate high power lasers and high-speed camera solutions.
- Design mechanical solutions to integrate optical design with precision and repeatability.
- Create drawings specifically to opto-mechanical GD&T standards.
- Establish and own the precision alignment process including method, procedure, and software used.
- Perform test and characterization of optical performance including process, equipment selection, and passing criteria.
- Work closely with process engineering team to solve physics-based interdependencies.
- Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to develop a robust and scalable system architecture.
- Bachelor’s degree in optics/optical engineering, mechanical engineering, or physics.
- Hands-on professional or internship experience with opto-mechanical systems (build, assembly, alignment, etc.).
- CAD experience, including GD&T and detailed drawing documentation as it relates to opto-mechanics.
- Strong mechanical engineering and physics fundamentals.
- Master’s degree in optical engineering or mechanical engineering.
- Experience with high power lasers (tens to hundreds of watts).
- Experience designing optics for industrial systems such as semiconductor (i.e. etching), laser cutting, long distance laser communication, etc.
- Basic understanding of image and signal processing.
- Knowledge of motion control and kinematics.
- Experience with design of fluid or thermal systems.
- 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.
- 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.
