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. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As a Mechanical Engineer at Freeform, you will own projects from concept through deployment, acting as the responsible engineer across design, fabrication, testing, and implementation. You will contribute to the architecture of cutting-edge, clean-sheet systems that push the boundaries of additive manufacturing, automation, and factory-scale integration. This includes designing complex mechanical assemblies, precision motion systems, and high-performance thermal and fluid subsystems. You will work cross-functionally with electrical and software engineering teams to integrate sub-systems into a cohesive, production-ready platform. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, can drive technically challenging projects with minimal oversight, and collaborates effectively across disciplines to deliver novel hardware solutions at scale.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">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! </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sXfG6ssZ190?feature=shared" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="11353"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Responsibilities:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Act as a responsible engineer in bringing hardware from concept to production</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Work with senior engineers to research, develop, design, and test complex mechanical components, subassemblies, equipment, and systems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Perform tolerance analysis of designs at the system and subsystem level</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Plan and perform tests to analyze the feasibility, design, operation and performance of equipment, components, and systems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Work hands-on to build, integrate, and validate designs and newly developed systems and/or subsystems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Strategize continuous improvement plans to enhance system performance, reliability, and manufacturability</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> </ul> <p data-renderer-start-pos="11950"> <strong data-renderer-mark="true">Basic Qualifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering from an ABET accredited university or college</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Hands on design experience from internships or engineering clubs such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, or similar</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Full life-cycle hardware design experience from hand calcs to CAD to fabrication and testing</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Well-versed in mechanical engineering fundamentals and comfortable taking a first-principles approach to solving problems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> </ul> <p data-renderer-start-pos="12686"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Nice to Have:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in mechanical or aerospace engineering</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Knowledge of motion control and kinematics</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li
