Technical Leadership Opportunities
About the role
with paragraphs. Responsibilities: Not explicitly listed; but we can infer from description: leading hardware development, building production systems, launching factories, etc. However we must not invent detail; we should only include if posting explicitly states responsibilities. The posting says: "You may have led hardware development programs, built and scaled production systems, launched factories, or architected cutting-edge automation." That's more about candidate background, not responsibilities. There's no explicit responsibilities list. So we should not create Responsibilities section if no specific content. Requirements: The posting lists ideal candidates: "Ideal Candidates Will Bring Some Combination Of The Following" then bullet list. That's requirements/qualifications. We can put underRequirements
orQualifications
. Since they ask to use headings for those categories, we can choose Requirements. We'll include the bullet list. Skills: Bonus experience list could be under Skills. Or we could put under Skills. The posting has "Bonus Experience That Catches Our Eye" list. That's skills/experience. We'll put underSkills
. Benefits: The posting has "Perks & Benefits" with list. So we createBenefits
with ul. Pay: The posting mentions "Competitive salary + significant pre-IPO stock option packages". That's pay info. So we createPay
with paragraph. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule. Also we might include a short paragraph for location/hybrid? Not required but could be part of About the role. The location is mentioned: "Based in Hawthorne...". We'll include that in About the role. We must not include EEO etc. Remove the Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph. Also remove "Apply If this resonates..." paragraph. Now construct HTML. We need to use for section headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We'll output something like:

Make sure to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract the prose.
About the role: The initial paragraph: "TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Teams: Engineering, Manufacturing, and Production Leadership Join Us in Inventing the Future of Manufacturing 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. We're solving some of the hardest problems in manufacturing, and we know that takes bold, multidisciplinary leaders. That's why we’re opening the door to exceptional technical minds across engineering development, manufacturing operations, and high-volume production who want to explore whether there’s a natural fit here at Freeform. If you’re a builder, a systems thinker, and a technical leader ready to roll up your sleeves and help reshape an industry, we’d love to hear from you."
We can keep that as a paragraph. Also maybe include the "Who We're Looking For" paragraph? That could be part of About the role or separate? But we already have Requirements section for ideal candidates. The "Who We're Looking For" paragraph describes backgrounds; could be part of Requirements as well. But we already have Requirements from Ideal Candidates list. The "Who We're Looking For" is more descriptive; we could incorporate into About the role or Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could keep About the role as the initial motivational paragraph, and then Requirements includes the Ideal Candidates list and maybe also the "Who We're Looking For" paragraph as prose? But the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can have prose paragraphs inside Requirements as well. However we need to preserve all substantive information. The "Who We're Looking For" paragraph is substantive; we should include it. It could be a
under Requirements before the list.
Similarly, "Why Freeform" paragraph is substantive; could be part of About the role or a separate section like "About the company". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put "Why Freeform" under About the role as additional prose. Or we could treat it as part of About the role. That seems fine.
"Perks & Benefits" we already have Benefits.
"Based in Hawthorne..." we can include in About the role.
Now let's extract lists.
Ideal Candidates Will Bring Some Combination Of The Following:
- A strong technical foundation in engineering or manufacturing, with deep expertise in at least one domain and fluency across disciplines.
- Experience architecting or building complex physical systems from first principles to final integration.
- Proven leadership in fast-paced, technically ambitious environments.
- A bias for action, clarity of thought, and a passion for solving real-world problems.
- Comfort with ambiguity, zero-to-one builds, and “building the plane as we fly it.”
- A hands-on approach capable of both setting a vision as well as jumping into details.
Bonus Experience That Catches Our Eye:
- Scaling R&D operations into full production
- Standing up a factory or test facility from scratch
- Industrial automation, robotics, or high-mix manufacturing
- MRP/ERP design and implementation
- Metal additive manufacturing
Perks & Benefits:
- Competitive salary + significant pre-IPO stock option packages
- 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
- Traditional & Roth 401(k)
- Paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays
- Generous paid parental leave
- Free daily catered lunch & dinner
- Flexible hours, startup energy, and a culture that values both excellence and humility
Note: Competitive salary appears also in Pay; we should not duplicate. In Benefits we have that line; but Pay section also includes same. To avoid duplication, we could keep Pay separate and Benefits exclude salary line. However the instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we remove salary from Benefits, we lose that detail. But we could keep it in both places? That would be duplication but still preserving info. The instruction didn't forbid duplication, but said remove duplicated lines. It said "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should avoid duplicated lines. So we need to decide where to put salary info. Since we have a Pay section, we can put salary there, and Benefits section exclude that line. However the Benefits list originally includes that line; we would be omitting it, which is removing substantive info. But we could keep it in Benefits and not have Pay section. However the instruction says to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state competitive salary + stock options. So we should have Pay section. To avoid duplication, we could keep Pay section with that line, and Benefits section without that line (i.e., remove the duplicated line). That would be removing a duplicated line from Benefits, which is allowed per instruction to remove duplicated lines. So we can delete that line from Benefits list.
Thus Benefits list will be:
- 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
- Traditional & Roth 401(k)
- Paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays
- Generous paid parental leave
- Free daily catered lunch & dinner
- Flexible hours, startup energy, and a culture that values both excellence and humility
Now we need to ensure we keep all other info.
Now craft HTML.

If you’re a builder, a systems thinker, and a technical leader ready to roll up your sleeves and help reshape an industry, we’d love to hear from you.
Who We're Looking For You may have led hardware development programs, built and scaled production systems, launched factories, or architected cutting-edge automation. You may even be a former founder who's lived through the challenges of doing something unknown for the first time. You may come from industries like aerospace, robotics, semiconductors, autonomous vehicles, or advanced manufacturing. We don’t expect a perfect resume match. We’re looking for uncommon talent that wants to apply their capabilities in an environment where engineering and operations are inseparable. This is not a job posting for a single role. It’s an invitation to collaborate with us and explore how your background might align with some of our highest priority work.
Why Freeform We’re not just designing new machines - we’re redesigning how metal parts are made, how factories are run, and how physical goods scale. That means thinking holistically, working cross-functionally, and learning fast. You’ll work side-by-side with an elite team of engineers, operators, and builders who take ownership from concept to production. You’ll help define how we grow, and your impact will be visible in every part we ship. 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.
But note we have repeated "Why Freeform" paragraph; we could combine with About the role. It's okay.
