PROCESS ENGINEERING INTERN (SUMMER 2027)

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 Process Engineering Intern at Freeform, you will help develop and refine novel processes for some of the world’s most advanced metal 3D printing systems. You will work closely with experienced engineers to study complex, multi-physics behavior within the printing process, building a foundational understanding of the system and applying those insights to support the development of next-generation processes.

What you'd do

Assist the Process Engineering team in developing a deep understanding of the metal additive process and hardware operation by analyzing massive in-situ data sets to gain insight into physical mechanisms of the printing process
Execute experiments and analyze data to improve metal additive processes
Perform post-build metrology measurements and analysis of material properties such as tensile strength, surface roughness, and alloy microstructure
Assist in the development and implementation of tool qualification procedures

What they want

Currently pursuing Bachelor's degree in material science, physics, or similar engineering discipline
Experience with experimental design and statistical data analysis
Strong data analysis skills and ability to interpret important information from extremely large data sets
Experience with Python and/or MATLAB
