Sangtera is building a new class of precision actuators based on microhydraulic and electrowetting technologies, enabling high-force, high-bandwidth, and fine-position control for next-generation robotics. We’re looking for a Foundry Interface Engineer to help translate this technology into scalable manufacturing by working directly with leading panel and semiconductor foundries in Asia.

This is a deeply technical, hands-on role at the intersection of device physics and production. You will own process integration, debug fabrication challenges on-site, and drive iteration between our internal engineering teams and external foundry partners. If you have experience in MEMS, semiconductor, or panel process integration—and want to help bring a fundamentally new actuator technology into production—we’d love to talk.​

Sangtera is developing a new class of microhydraulic actuators for precision robotics and semiconductor-scale assembly systems. Our technology combines MEMS-scale structures with precision mechanical systems to produce extremely compact, high-force actuators. As our technology transitions from research prototypes toward manufacturing, we are building the tools, fixtures, and automated processes required to assemble miniature precision devices reliably and at scale.

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer – Precision Tooling & Automation to develop the tooling, fixtures, and assembly processes that will enable production of Sangtera's miniature actuator platform.

Reporting to the Director of Manufacturing Engineering, you will design, build, and validate the equipment used to manufacture our products—from precision assembly fixtures and custom tooling to semi-automated manufacturing equipment. This is a highly hands-on engineering role involving rapid prototyping, machine building, mechanical design, and continuous experimentation in the lab.

You will work closely with the technical team to transform laboratory assembly methods into robust, scalable manufacturing processes. As our products and manufacturing techniques evolve, you will continuously improve ease of use, reduce cycle time, increase yield, and enable high volume production.  
You will create and maintain accurate bills of materials, equipment master sheets, and CAD models for inhouse fixtures and off-the shelf equipment.  You will generate and update process, training, and preventive maintenance documentation associated with tools and fixtures.

This is a hand-on, full-time in person position, based in Lowell, MA.

Sangtera is building a new class of precision actuators based on microhydraulic and electrowetting technologies, enabling high-force, high-bandwidth, and fine-position control for next-generation robotics.

We are looking for a manufacturing technician to help with assembly and testing of Sangtera devices. You will support manufacturing, reliability, and process improvements activities.

Key responsibilities:

• Perform assembly and testing activities per established protocols
