SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INTERN (SUMMER 2027)
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 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.
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:
- 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
Basic Qualifications:
- Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
- Internship or engineering club experience such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, or similar programming with C/C++ or Rust
Nice to Have:
- Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering
- Experience interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGA, or GPU computing hardware
