Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

• As a Software Engineering Intern at Freeform, you’ll help build the core software systems that power our autonomous metal 3D printing factories
• You’ll work with a talented engineering team from some of the world’s most innovative companies across a range of projects to develop and maintain mission-critical infrastructure - including controls, high speed data acquisition, and geometry processing pipelines - that enable high-speed, high-quality, and fully automated production
• This is a hands-on role where you’ll contribute to real-world solutions that bridge software and hardware, and gain exposure to a fast-paced, multidisciplinary engineering environment
• You’ll be encouraged to take a first-principles approach to problem solving, explore new technical domains, and collaborate across teams to help bring complex systems to life
• Support the design and development of software for advanced, production-scale metal 3D printing systems
• Collaborate with process, control, and mechanical engineers to help integrate control algorithms into production software
• Assist in improving and scaling high-rate data acquisition, storage, and retrieval systems
• Contribute to the development of the software pipeline that converts customer part geometries into machine-ready print instructions

Benefits

• Significant stock option packages

• Strong work ethic with a refuse-to-fail mindset
• Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
• Demonstrated indicators of excellence and/or achieving success against adversity (i.e. top academic performance, leadership in engineering clubs, first-generation college student, or other examples of resilience and achievement)

• Thank you for your interest in our internship opportunity! We truly appreciate your application and enthusiasm to join our team. Please note that our interview process will begin after we attend university career fairs in early fall. The process will include 2-3 rounds of virtual interviews. We anticipate wrapping up the interview process by late Fall
