Description For Senior Simulation Engineer

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 Simulation Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for developing physics-based, data-driven models that enable the first production scale, high quality, and fully automated metal 3D printing factory capability. We are looking for someone with deep knowledge in physical simulations and multi-physics phenomena who can develop sophisticated models from scratch for undefined or previously unsolved problem statements. This person needs to be comfortable working in an interdisciplinary environment that iterates quickly and decisively.

Key responsibilities include developing models describing the physics in an advanced metal 3D printing system, working with data scientists to develop data-driven models, simulating geometric deformation, integrating physics-based and data-driven models into the software simulation pipeline, and working with control engineers to deploy model-predictive control strategies.

We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling a world-changing technology. Our benefits include significant stock option packages, 100% employer-paid health insurance, 401(k), relocation assistance, paid leave, and more. We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.

Join us in Hawthorne, CA, in our state-of-the-art facility, and be part of Los Angeles' vibrant emerging tech ecosystem. If you're a creative thinker able to apply first-principles reasoning to solve complex problems and have excellent communication skills, we want to hear from you!
