About Us

Reframe Systems is on a mission to build fast, cost-efficient, and climate-resilient homes for everyone. Through our modular building platform and highly automated production process, we reduce costs, shorten delivery times, and lower embodied carbon for housing projects of all sizes—from single-family homes to large multifamily developments. Our first software-driven factory in the greater Boston area (Andover, MA) is just the beginning of our national expansion. Backed by leading venture capital firms in the industrial and construction sectors, we are transforming how homes are built.

What We're Looking For

Reframe is seeking a Senior Automation Engineer to design, prototype, and deploy industrial automation solutions that scale our factory operations. You’ll work across PLCs, motor control systems, actuated machines, and custom software to deliver fast, scrappy, and reliable automation in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment. This role sits at the intersection of hardware and software—perfect for someone who thrives in production settings and wants to own problems end-to-end.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and commission automation systems using PLCs, sensors, actuators, and industrial IO

• Build and prototype electromechanical subsystems, such as gantries, CNCs, IoT, and material-handling equipment

• Integrate industrial hardware with custom software applications and cloud-based tools

• Debug and improve legacy and new systems under tight feedback loops, in a live factory setting

• Lead bring-up and iteration of scrappy prototypes into production-ready systems

• Collaborate with software, manufacturing, and mechanical teams to build full-stack automation solutions

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience programming PLCs (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Codesys, etc.) and integrating industrial IO

• Hands-on experience with motion control, servo drives, stepper systems, or similar

• Demonstrated ability to move quickly from prototype to production in a factory or similar high-stakes environment

• Comfort writing software to interface with hardware (e.g., using Python, Node, or industrial APIs)

• High agency and self-direction—ability to work independently while collaborating across teams

• Bonus: experience with vision systems, safety relay integration, or building gantry-type systems

If you don’t meet every qualification but are excited about our mission, we still encourage you to apply. We value diverse skills and perspectives.
