R&d Engineer, Research Engineer, Science
DeepForm Ltd is an early stage start-up company introducing patented sheet metal pressing technology which significantly reduces waste, cost and embodied CO 2 emissions in the high-volume manufacturing of sheet metal components. We are an exciting University of Cambridge spin-out company founded in 2022. Having secured external investment and formed a strategic alliance with a well-known automotive manufacturer we are securing our first major projects. This is an exciting time to join at the very early stages in the company’s mission to reduce waste and embodied emissions in the manufacturing sector.
Your main responsibility will be to further develop our press forming technology for automotive and other clients. You will explore new configurations and applications of DeepForm’s patented technology, developing and testing press tools to maximise material utilisation. You will develop these ideas through simulation with AutoForm and test them using our lab-scale demonstrator and industrial-scale tools.
Together with DeepForm team you will support new and existing customer projects by designing and optimising press tools using DeepForm technology and contribute to finding solutions for other customer projects.
