Robotic Process Engineer

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. As a Robotic Process Engineer at Machina Labs, you will play a key role in enabling RoboForming, our robotic incremental sheet metal forming process, through CAD manipulation, robot tool path generation, and process optimization. You'll work with our RoboCraftsman system and internal software stack to convert digital part designs into robotic tool paths, analyze scan and forming data, rapidly iterate on forming strategies based on real-world feedback, and support iterative development of forming strategies. This role is hands-on and collaborative, with a strong emphasis on digital tooling, data-driven improvement, and integration with advanced robotic systems.
