Key details
Why this role is notable
A startup backed by defense, aerospace, and automaker investors is building its own robotic sheet-metal factories, a sign that the bet is on selling manufacturing capacity as software-defined infrastructure rather than just parts.
Job Description
Engineering moves at software speed. Manufacturing doesn't. Yet.
Machina Labs is changing that. We build intelligent, software-defined factories that produce complex metal structures directly from digital design. By integrating advanced metal forming, robotics, and automated production inside a flexible factory architecture, we enable customers to move from prototype to production in weeks, not years.
Backed by Lockheed Martin, Toyota, and NVIDIA, we're building the manufacturing infrastructure that defense, aerospace, and advanced mobility programs will run on.
If you want to work on hard problems that matter and see them fly, drive, and defend, this is the place.
Job Description:
Machina Labs is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own mechanical hardware design for our robotic sheet forming cells, taking designs from concept through release and into production.
You will own the design of machine subsystems, make and defend the design decisions that set how that hardware performs, lasts, and is serviced, and work closely with Robotics, Forming Process, Electrical, Controls, and Production to get it built and running reliably. As the machine and the company grow, the areas you own will grow and shift with them.
The ideal candidate has owned a complex mechanical subsystem on industrial machinery, robotics, CNC, or automation equipment, and is comfortable taking it from first concept to hardware running in production.
