Full Job Description
ADDITIVE ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP (FALL 2026) 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 Additive Engineering Intern at Freeform, you will contribute to the development and scaling of our advanced metal 3D printing processes, including design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) feedback, print file preparation, toolpath automation, part quality analysis, and end-to-end process improvement. You will work closely with mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing engineers to support all stages of print development for high-volume production. Interns at Freeform own meaningful cradle-to-grave projects. Using first-principles thinking, you will help define test methods, evaluate solutions, iterate quickly, and synthesize information from engineering drawings, in-situ machine data, post-processing results, and inspection data to draw conclusions that improve printing and downstream machining processes. 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology! Responsibilities: Own a cradle to grave project that delivers meaningful impact to critical print factory capabilities or customer print workflows Support all stages of print development including design for additive manufacturing feedback, file preparation, printing, post-processing, and quality control Analyze in-situ data and post-print part quality to drive continuous improvement in system performance Use first-principles thinking to define problems, develop test methods, evaluate solutions, iterate, and provide technical recommendations Basic Qualifications: Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree in mechanica
