AI-generated questions, company research, and talking points tailored to this role

Responsibilities

  • Architect and scale state-of-the-art edge compute and storage systems for a big-data infrastructure, enabling Freeform to perform real-time machine learning on the edge as well as store petabytes of physics-based data for inference
  • Lead the design, deployment, and maintenance of on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security of IT systems
  • Optimize and manage virtualization and containerization technologies
  • Design, implement, and manage the company's networking infrastructure, ensuring robust connectivity, performance optimization, and security across all network layers
  • Implement and manage comprehensive security protocols to protect data, systems, and infrastructure. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to ensure the highest levels of protection
  • Ensure infrastructure is built and scaled with cost and resource efficiency in mind
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations for network security operations such as NIST and ITAR

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or network engineering
  • 5+ years of enterprise level data center engineering experience
  • Heterogenous compute/data center infrastructure experience (CPUs, GPUs, traditional servers and storage)
  • Strong knowledge of both on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure
  • 10+ years of overall industry experience
  • Experience with high-speed data
  • Experience with Infiniband or similar high-bandwidth communication systems
  • Experience scaling infrastructure for a startup environment
  • Experience developing and implementing edge-compute capabilities such as data center infrastructure for ground stations, IoT, or similar hardware-centric operations
  • Excellent leadership and team management skills
  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Understanding of security protocols and compliance standards, such as NIST 800-171 and ITAR
  • Location:
  • Based in Hawthorne, our vertically integrated facility brings technology development, R&D, and production together under one roof. We operate at the center of LA's deep tech ecosystem, surrounded by some of the most ambitious hardware innovation happening anywhere in the country.
  • Our fast-paced, cross-functional environment is built on close collaboration, and as such, this role requires full-time onsite presence (five days a week), with very limited exceptions.
  • Why Freeform?
  • We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions
  • We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling a world-changing technology

Additional Information

EDGE COMPUTE AND DATA CENTER ARCHITECT 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. In this role, you will architect and build the compute infrastructure and connectivity backbone for a new class of AI-native metal 3D printing factories. Each node in the factory integrates dense GPU clusters and generates massive, high-frequency data streams that must be processed in real time on the edge. You will design systems spanning heterogeneous compute (CPU/GPU), high-bandwidth interconnects (e.g., NVLink, InfiniBand), and distributed data platforms to support both real-time control loops and large-scale data processing. You will oversee both on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security. This is a unique opportunity to build advanced compute systems and scale them from a single deployment into a globally distributed platform.
