Design Engineer (Advanced Energy Hardware)

About this role

Freeform seeks a Design Engineer to reimagine advanced energy hardware components for additive manufacturing. You'll work at the intersection of part design and AI-native manufacturing, redesigning turbines, heat exchangers, valves, and other critical energy systems from first principles to unlock new performance capabilities and manufacturing possibilities.

What you'll do

• Design and redesign energy hardware across turbines, heat exchangers, valves, manifolds, pressure vessels, and fuel systems
• Develop deep understanding of component requirements, performance drivers, and system constraints in energy generation and storage
• Identify opportunities where additive manufacturing enables new geometries, consolidated assemblies, and improved performance
• Evaluate design concepts considering materials, tolerances, thermal/structural behavior, and manufacturing feasibility
• Answer technical questions on design tradeoffs, process capabilities, and production scalability
• Collaborate with internal teams and customer engineering to refine concepts and align execution

What they're looking for

• Mechanical or energy systems engineering
• Advanced part design and CAD
• Additive manufacturing knowledge
• Thermal and structural analysis
• Materials science and selection
• Systems-level thinking for energy applications
• Manufacturing process understanding
• Technical communication
