Robotic Process Engineer - Aerospace & Defense

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.

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.

This role will put you in charge of optimizing our manufacturing process to form sheet metal parts and assemblies for aerospace…

Job responsibilities

  • Generate and modify CAD models 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, hardware development teams, software engineers, and manufacturing engineers to improve and develop new tools, workflows and tool path strategies.
  • Contribute to technical discussions with external customers as needed to support project goals and ensure alignment
  • Work autonomously and make informed decisions with limited data, then refining based on outcomes.
  • Document process, results, and analyses for continuous improvement for internal use.

Job requirements

  • B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
  • 0-3 years of experience in manufacturing within a robotics or aerospace environment.
  • Proficiency in at least one CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Catia, NX, 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.
