Freeform
Manufacturing Engineer (New Grad December 2026)
About this role
Join Freeform as a Manufacturing Engineer to help scale autonomous metal 3D printing factories. You'll optimize post-processing and machining workflows, design scalable manufacturing processes, and bridge R&D with production in a hands-on, fast-paced environment—no 3D printing experience required.
What you'll do
- Design and implement scalable manufacturing processes for 3D-printed parts and hardware
- Improve fixturing, test procedures, and post-processing workflows to optimize part flow
- Build and iterate on tooling, jigs, and test setups for reliable high-throughput production
- Develop process standards and documentation to support production scaling
- Identify and resolve manufacturing bottlenecks across parts, materials, and data flow
- Contribute to CNC machining workflows including programming, setup, and multi-axis optimization
What they're looking for
- Manufacturing process design and optimization
- CNC machining and multi-axis programming
- Fixturing and tooling design
- Problem-solving and process improvement
- Cross-functional collaboration
- Technical documentation and standards development
- Post-processing and quality control
- Attention to detail and precision
