Robotic automation integrator for material handling, cutting, and assembly
Shape Process Automation designs and builds robotic systems for industrial manufacturing—material handling, assembly, laser/waterjet/router cutting, and related processes. The tech stack is deeply embedded in industrial control platforms (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Fanuc, ABB, Cognex, Keyence), reflecting a mature systems integrator with roots in automation hardware. Current hiring is engineering-led (7 of 9 open roles) at mid-to-senior level, concentrated in Canada, suggesting expansion of technical delivery capacity rather than sales-driven growth.
Shape Process Automation, part of Shape Technologies, operates as a systems integrator for robotic manufacturing automation. The company designs and delivers custom and standard solutions spanning material handling, assembly lines, and advanced cutting processes (laser, waterjet, router, knife). They serve automotive, aerospace, food & beverage, marine, appliance, and consumer goods manufacturers globally. The installed base exceeds 12,000 systems across more than 70 countries. Operations are headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, with a workforce in the 201–500 range. The business combines application engineering, controls integration, fabrication, and field support.
Primary stack: Allen-Bradley (Studio 5000, FactoryTalk View), Siemens, Mitsubishi Electric, and robot controllers from Fanuc, ABB, and Motoman. Design tools include AutoCAD Electrical and Cognex vision systems.
