About Machina Labs
At Machina Labs, we’re reshaping manufacturing through advanced robotics and machine learning. Our platform uses the largest 6-axis robots on the market to form 2D sheets of metal into complex 3D parts, layer-by-layer.
Traditional sheet metal production was designed for scale, not flexibility. It relies on costly dies and tooling that make lower volume projects prohibitively slow and expensive. We’re changing that. Whether you’re a startup building a few thousand airframes or an automaker prototyping next-generation components, Machina Labs gives you the ability to iterate and manufacture at the speed of software.
With support from the venture arms of Toyota, NVIDIA, and Lockheed Martin, we’re accelerating the future of manufacturing, one where factories are flexible, production is on-demand, and innovation is unconstrained.

This individual will implement continuous improvement strategies, utilizing lean methodologies to reduce waste. As the primary user of the Robocraftsman cells, the Manufacturing Engineer will identify limitations, recommend improvements to hardware and software teams, and test upgrades. This role works closely with the Robotic Process Engineering team and Production Technicians to ensure the timely delivery of parts to customers.
What You'll Do
- Create forming and cutting tool paths using internal CAM tools.
- Develop and release manufacturing procedures for production teams.
- Oversee and take ownership of Robocraftsman cells, acting as the primary user.
- Drive continuous improvement and reduce waste through lean manufacturing principles.
- Collaborate with the Product Team to identify cell limitations and recommend improvements.
- Test and validate hardware and software upgrades to ensure smooth integration into production.
- Partner with the Robotic Process Engineering team to troubleshoot and optimize cell performance.
- Work closely with Production Technicians to ensure timely and accurate production of parts.
- Maintain detailed records of changes, improvements, and tests related to Robocraftsman cells.
- Provide technical support and training to manufacturing staff on new processes, tools, and systems.
What We're Looking For
- B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
- 2 years of manufacturing experience in production-heavy environments.
- Hands-on experience designing, testing, and improving manufacturing processes to stay lean and efficient.
- Strong ability to conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, product managers, and mechanical engineers.
- Proficiency with CAD, CAM software, and CNC programming.
- Background in job shops or manufacturers with forming, machining, or sheet metal capabilities.
- Familiarity with Material Resource Planning (MRP) software.
- Strong technical writing, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to travel up to 20% of the time.
Bonus Points For
- Experience in a manufacturing engineer role at an ISO9001/AS9100 certified facility.
- Practical experience in a machine shop with a focus on quality standards.
- Knowledge of GD&T and precision assessment principles.
- Experience in lean, safety, and compliance activities.
- Experience authoring/revising technical documents, including quality procedures, work instructions, and technical reports.
- Proficiency in surface modeling using CAD.
