ELECTRICAL ENGINEER (HARDWARE DESIGN) 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 an Electrical Engineer at Freeform, you will play an integral role in the design and development of custom electronics that bring our advanced metal 3D printing factory systems to life.  You’ll work with a talented engineering team from some of the world’s most innovative companies on electrical system design, development, and integration efforts across the factory systems, with a specific focus on PCB and compute system design. You will use a first-principles approach to solving problems and tackling new areas within electrical engineering that you may not have directly worked on before. The ideal candidate is capable of running projects from cradle to grave and has the ability to work effectively with other engineering disciplines.   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!   Responsibilities:   Rapidly design, develop and test highly reliable electronics and PCBs   Model and simulate circuit designs for analysis and performance   Contribute to electrical architecture, product requirements, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, product management, productization, manufacturing, and test   Drive component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test   Hands-on debugging of the unexpected via the use of laboratory test equipment, custom instrumentation, and testing setups   Basic Qualifications:   Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college   2+ years of professional experience designing and delivering complex electrical hardware Well-versed in electrical engineering fundamentals and comfortable taking a first-principles approach to solving problems   Nice to Have:   Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in electrical engineering   Familiarity with industrial automation technologies, robotics, spacecraft avionics, or similar high-performance electromechanical system   Experience with sensors, embedded microcontroller design and firmware, and FPGA hardware and software development   Experience with high-speed data acquisition systems, high-accuracy motion systems, high-speed scanning systems, or similar camera/telemetry-based control systems   Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)   Strong communicator who collaborates across disciplines and proactively seeks support when needed   Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset   Strong work ethic with a refuse-to-fail mindset   Demonstrated indicators of excellence and/or achieving success against adversity (i.e. top academic performance, leadership in engineering clubs, first-generation college student, or other examples of resilience and achievement)   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
