Manufacturing Cell Technician / Operator - Second Shift

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.

The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined, detail-oriented, comfortable working around automated equipment, and enjoys working closely with Production, Engineering, Quality, and Maintenance teams.

Machina Labs is changing that. We build intelligent, software-defined factories that produce complex metal structures directly from digital design.

Job responsibilities

  • Safely operate machinery and associated production equipment.
  • Load, unload, position, align, and secure aluminum and steel panels and components.
  • Verify material, tooling, fixtures, setup, and orientation before beginning production operations.
  • Follow approved work instructions, drawings, routers, travelers, work orders, and standard operating procedures.
  • Monitor equipment during operation and identify alarms, defects, abnormal conditions, or process issues.
  • Perform basic machine adjustments and troubleshooting within established training and authorization.
  • Complete required production and quality documentation accurately and maintain material traceability.
  • Perform in-process inspections and identify and escalate nonconforming material or process conditions.

Job requirements

  • High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
  • Previous experience in manufacturing, fabrication, machining, assembly, or an industrial production environment preferred.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and experience using common hand tools.
  • Ability to read and follow work instructions, work orders, routers, travelers, and basic manufacturing documentation.
  • Ability to safely handle and position aluminum and steel panels and components.
  • Comfortable working around automated machinery and robotic manufacturing equipment.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety and product quality.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented manufacturing environment.
