Additional Information
STAFF FPGA ENGINEER 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. As a Staff FPGA Engineer at Freeform, you will be responsible for architecting and implementing a custom compute platform that enables the world's first AI-driven, intelligent metal 3D printing technology. You will use the latest and greatest in FPGA's including the Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC to scale a high-throughput, low latency image processing pipeline. You will also have an opportunity to integrate your FPGA solutions with state-of-the-art GPUs to create an advanced machine learning acceleration platform. You will drive interdisciplinary engineering efforts between software, electrical, and process engineering teams to rapidly innovate custom FPGA solutions. High-performance computing to central to what makes Freeform's technology unique and powerful, so this is a high-impact role in which you'll develop core IP for a world-changing technology. 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!
