Product Management Internship

Company

Machina Labs is on a mission to build the factory of the future -- a factory where designers and engineers rapidly iterate on physical products and scale out production on demand. We began our journey in 2019 and since then have been backed by major AI and Deep Tech investors (like Innovation Endeavors and Lockheed Martin Ventures), and we count NASA, SpaceX, Tesla, and the U.S. Air Force.
