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.
The Role
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.
What You'll Do
- Generate and modify CAD models to ensure compatibility for RoboForming.
- Use internal software stack to convert CAD into robot tool paths for execution on the RoboCraftsman.
- Analyze RoboForming data and 3D scan results to assess part quality and identify areas for improvements.
- Design and execute structured experiments (DOE) to optimize forming parameters and tool path strategies.
- Collaborate with product managers, software engineers, and manufacturing engineers to improve workflows and tool path strategies.
- Contribute to technical discussions with external customers as needed to support project goals and ensure alignment
- Work autonomously and making informed decisions with limited data, then refining based on outcomes.
- Document process, results, and analyses for continuous improvement for internal use.
What We're Looking For
- B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
- Minimum 2 years of experience (or fewer with advanced degrees) in a manufacturing, robotics, or prototyping environment.
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino).
- Familiarity with CAM, tool path generation, or robot programming.
- Strong data analysis skills (e.g. MATLAB, Python, advanced Excel or similar tools).
- Comfort working in open-ended problem spaces, making rapid decisions and course corrections as needed.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow standard processes.
- Comfortable working in a hands-on, fast-paced manufacturing environment.
- Demonstrated ability to interface with interdisciplinary teams and internal/external project stakeholders.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong mentality toward safety and occupational hazard prevention.
Preferred Qualifications
- Expertise in surface modeling using CAD.
- Experience working with industrial robots (FANUC, KUKA, ABB, etc.).
- Exposure to 3D scanning, inspection systems, or metrology tools.
- Familiarity with Python scripting or automation tools.
- Knowledge of CNC machining, additive manufacturing, or other digital manufacturing processes.
- Experience working in a production or manufacturing facility.
- Experience working in a highly regulated environment (e.g. aerospace, medical, nuclear).

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
