Product Design Engineer

Company Gantri is the first digital manufacturer for design. We enable any designer or brand to create high-quality, sustainable design products 10x faster with no minimums. We manufacture at our Digital Factory in California on-demand at industrial-scale efficiency and ship directly to the end customer. Gantri is the most awarded design manufacturer in America.   Role  We are seeking a Senior Product Design Engineer who is a highly motivated, creative, and relentless problem-solver with deep experience and a proven track record of driving products from concept through mass production. You will play a critical role on Gantri’s product design engineering team, translating industrial design concepts into high-quality, manufacturable products with global manufacturing partners.   In this role, you’ll design and create the foundational building blocks of Gantri products—shaping them for our next-generation digital manufacturing platform. You’ll ensure our products are functional, scalable, and aesthetically pleasing while helping to bring bold ideas to life.   This role is highly collaborative and hands-on, spanning product design, documentation, project management, and vendor engagement. The ideal candidate is self-driven and thrives on solving complex problems and takes full ownership of technical challenges from early design through production release.
