Senior Manufacturing Automation Engineer
About this role
Employer-provided description, formatted for easier reading.
Company Gantri is building the next generation of digital manufacturing for design-driven products. We operate one of the world’s largest production 3D printing farms for consumer lighting and are transforming a highly manual manufacturing process into a scalable, process-driven advanced manufacturing platform.
Our factory combines additive manufacturing, advanced finishing, process engineering, automation, and software-driven operations. Our next challenge is automation. Over the next several years, we are investing heavily in automation and robotics to fundamentally change how our factory operates—reducing manual labor, increasing throughput, improving consistency, and building the manufacturing infrastructure required to scale.
We are looking for a senior engineer to help lead that transformation from the factory floor.
Role We are looking for a Senior Manufacturing Automation Engineer to identify, design, specify, integrate, and scale automation and robotic systems across Gantri's production environment. This is not a role where you inherit an established automated factory and maintain existing equipment. You will help build the automation layer of the factory from the ground up.
You will identify opportunities where robotics, automated material handling, machine vision, equipment, and other manufacturing technologies can replace or augment manual processes.
You'll work from the factory floor to understand the process, develop the technical requirements, evaluate potential solutions, work with equipment vendors and integrators, install and commission systems, train operators and technicians, and ultimately make sure the automation delivers measurable production results. You will also own the manufacturing process improvements necessary to make automation successful.
That means understanding the process before automating it, simplifying workflows, defining requirements and acceptance criteria, solving integration problems, and continuously improving systems once they are in production. We don't need someone who simply recommends automation. We need someone who can make it happen.
