Samson Rose
About the Company
This is a well-funded early-stage startup building a fully automated manufacturing facility in the U.S. — combining robotics, 3D knitting, and intelligent software to reinvent how goods are made. They’re focused on building a real-world system that beats overseas production on cost, speed, and sustainability.
Backed by top-tier investors, the founding team is aiming to solve a problem most have written off. It's a rare chance to work at the intersection of software, hardware, and physical operations — and help bring industrial innovation back onshore.
About the Role We are looking for an Automation Engineer. In this role, you will help build the first generation of automated cells and production lines that power the factory. Collaborating closely with Manufacturing Engineers and Robotics Engineers, you will turn process flows and paper layouts into fully functional automation on the shop floor.
They’re looking for a builder who
Has 3+ years factory-floor automation with commissioning on live lines for high mix
Technician or Manufacturing Engineering background (e.g., programming ABB welding) evolving into systems engineering and factory planning
Scaled operations from prototype to full production; roadmap for MES/ERP integration
Technical Skills
Experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, physics-based validation, scenario testing, and digital twin concepts
Comfortable with video/computer-vision workflows; can translate simulated insights into on-floor changes
CAD/CAM, fixture/jig design, material flow optimization and operation simulation
PLCs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens), servo drives, safety systems; sensor-to-PLC wiring, I/O mapping, and troubleshooting
ABB or equivalent ecosystem integration (e.g., RobotStudio) for robotic control/orchestration; ROS familiarity is secondary to Isaac Sim
Key Knowledge Areas
OEE monitoring and improvement with simulation-backed what-if analysis and predictive modeling
Redundancy and backup strategies (failover, UPS, fault tolerance) validated through Isaac Sim scenarios; version control and disaster recovery for PLC/robot programs
Fabrication-aware automation (machining, welding, assembly) with digital twin alignment to real-world constraints
Data plumbing from cell to enterprise (OPC UA, MES, MQTT, Influx, Grafana) and maintaining model-to-plant fidelity over time
Notes
NVIDIA expertise need not be deep on day one; strong aptitude for simulation/video tooling and rapid learning is key
Hands-on prototyper with strong mechanical instincts preferred over pure simulation specialists
Experience with traceability, changeover strategy, maintenance readiness, and spares planning
Industrial networking, IIoT data pipelines, cybersecurity for OT
