Senior Software Engineer

About Freeform 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. We are a team of first-principles thinkers driven by a shared mission: to build the fundamental technology that moves the world forward. We believe that solving the foundational challenges of production requires a massive diversity of expertise, deep collaboration, low ego, and a healthy sense of humor. Whether you are an engineer, a builder of systems, or a creative problem-solver in any field, we invite you to help us align the physical world with the pace of human imagination. We are backed by industry leading VC's including Founders Fund, NVIDIA's NVenures, Threshold Ventures, Two Sigma Ventures, Linse Capital, 8VC, Valor, and more who share our conviction in scaling Physical AI to revolutionize manufacturing.
