About the role

SENIOR FULL STACK ENGINEER (MES)

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.

In this role, you will design and build the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that serves as the digital backbone of Freeform’s autonomous metal production factories, connecting the full manufacturing lifecycle from quoting and work orders through scheduling, production, quality, and delivery. You’ll build scalable systems that manage complex factory workflows, large volumes of production and machine data, and complete end to end traceability and part genealogy from powder-in to finished parts-out. Working closely with product management and engineers across software, manufacturing, automation, and quality, you’ll make foundational technical decisions and develop the software that enables Freeform’s factories to operate efficiently, intelligently, and at scale.
