Machine Production Technician
Job description
Engineering moves at software speed. Manufacturing doesn't. Yet.
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.
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.
Job responsibilities
- Setup, operate, maintain, and support Machina Labs Roboform cells.
- Perform secondary finishing operations including trimming, deburring, grinding, and coating.
- Assemble mechanical frames, sub-assemblies, and complete Roboform cells using released CAD files, assembly drawings, and work instructions.
- Perform HV/LV wiring, cable routing, and electrical enclosure assembly in compliance with IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards.
- Install and connect hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including hose fabrication (1/4"–1"), valves, pumps, manifolds, and actuators.
- Execute structural upfits and modifications (drilling, tapping, cutting, deburring, touch-up finishing).
- Safely rig, lift, and position heavy components (up to 15 tons) using forklifts, cranes, and approved lifting plans.
- Execute functional testing, system integration (including Fanuc/Kuka robot setup), and verification steps to ensure cells meet production specifications.
Job requirements
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- 1+ year of fabrication related experience (machining, welding, fitting, etc.)
- 3+ years of hands-on mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic assembly experience.
- Ability to read mechanical drawings, schematics, and understand geometric tolerances.
- Experience with hydraulic/pneumatic systems, assembly, troubleshooting, and hose fabrication.
- Proficiency with common hand and power tools.
- Basic computer proficiency, including ERP systems and common productivity tools.
- Effective communication skills in a team-based production environment.
