About this role
Freeform seeks a Simulation Engineer to develop physics-based numerical models for automated metal 3D printing systems. You'll create high-performance solvers for laser powder bed fusion processes, optimizing them for GPU and HPC platforms while collaborating across software and control engineering teams.
What you'll do
- Develop numerical solvers for simulating metal 3D printing physics
- Implement real-time simulation models optimized for GPU and HPC execution
- Integrate low-level solvers into simulation pipelines and hardware systems
- Guide computational geometry and meshing techniques for large-scale physics simulations
- Architect simulation modules for FPGAs and GPUs
- Support model-predictive control strategy development with control engineers
What they're looking for
- Numerical solver development
- C, C++, or CUDA programming
- GPU and high-performance computing
- Solid mechanics or continuum mechanics
- Direct numerical simulation (DNS)
- Computational geometry and meshing
- Data-driven modeling and hybrid physics/data methods
- Thermo-elastic or thermo-elastoplastic modeling
