We're seeking a VP of Manufacturing Technology to lead the development of Gantri's next-generation manufacturing processes to power fully automated, sustainable production across diverse materials.
This leader will focus on two core missions:
1. Automating Gantri's existing additive manufacturing process for polymer-based materials using advanced robotics, AI, and computer vision.
2. Developing new additive manufacturing and automation technologies to support future materials - including metals, ceramics, wood, and stone.
You'll build and lead an industry-leading, multidisciplinary team spanning automation, robotics, process development, and additive R&D, building systems that define how digital manufacturing evolves over the next decade.
Responsibilities
- Automate Gantri's existing polymer-based production line using advanced robotics, vision systems, AI-driven controls, and autonomous workflows.
- Develop and validate new additive manufacturing processes for alternative materials (metal, ceramic, wood, stone) aligned with furniture applications.
- Design and prototype end-to-end automated systems, from print to post-processing to assembly.
- Integrate hardware, software, and data to build toward fully autonomous "lights-out" factory operations.
- Lead cross-disciplinary R&D, collaborating with software, materials, and design engineering to ensure manufacturability and scalability.
- Build and lead a world-class Manufacturing Technology organization, covering process engineering, robotics, controls, and additive R&D.
- Partner with external research labs and technology providers to evaluate and integrate cutting-edge manufacturing technologies.
- Create standards, documentation, and test protocols for new processes and automation systems.
- Own long-term technical roadmap for Gantri's digital manufacturing platform and future factory network.
- 15+ years of experience in manufacturing process development, automation, or advanced manufacturing technology.
- Deep expertise in additive manufacturing technologies (FDM, SLA, SLS, binder jetting, hybrid systems).
- Proven experience in robotics and automation systems, including motion control, machine vision, and autonomous process design.
- Track record of developing and scaling new manufacturing technologies from R&D through production.
- Strong understanding of materials science, particularly polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites.
- Systems-level thinker able to integrate mechanical, electrical, software, and materials disciplines into cohesive platforms.
- Experience leading high-performing engineering teams and collaborating across design, software, and operations.
- Passion for automation, sustainability, and manufacturing innovation.
- Join a company reimagining manufacturing and empowering the next generation of designers and design brands.
- Be part of a high-impact, design-driven organization creating a new industry.
- Lead design across both digital and physical experiences in a fast-growing, purpose-driven environment.
