Description For Senior Software Engineer (3D Graphics)

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.

As a Senior Software Engineer (3D Graphics), you will be responsible for architecting and implementing a hardware acceleration-enabled geometry processing pipeline similar to those seen in the real-time graphics industries. Your pipeline will enable Freeform's printing systems to autonomously manipulate 3D part files and transform them into printing instructions, effectively rendering metal parts in the physical world.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and developing the print preparation software pipeline
  • Implementing algorithms for geometry deformation and processing
  • Integrating physics-based and data-driven models into the simulation pipeline
  • Working with 2D and 3D meshing techniques
  • Collaborating with backend developers on hardware interface architecture

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience in C, C++, or Rust, with a background in real-time graphics, video games, or similar industries. Experience with GPU environments is essential. An advanced degree in computer science or computer graphics is highly preferred.

Join our team in Hawthorne, CA, and be part of a rapidly growing company that is scaling world-changing technology. We offer competitive compensation, including stock options, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative work environment.
