At FononTech, our vision is to pioneer a transformative and sustainable era in semiconductor and display manufacturing through our proprietary Impulse Printing™ technology. Our mission is to deliver the fastest and most accurate solutions for high volume assembly of complex 3D microelectronic parts, to advance the performance and miniaturization of electronics, and to significantly reduce the industry’s carbon footprint.

About the Role 

We are seeking a skilled Build & Deployment Automation Engineer to design and implement, our build automation infrastructure. You will play a key role in streamlining our software delivery pipeline for industrial printing machine systems. 

You will be joining a small engineering team of approximately 5 people. While you will have support from the team, the nature of this role requires working largely independently. We are looking for someone with a hands-on mentality who is not afraid to dive in, experiment and find solutions. No endless meetings or corporate red tape - just real problems that need practical solutions. If you are someone who prefers action over discussion and is willing to try new approaches, you will fit right in.
