Job Description

About Machina Labs
 
Engineering moves at software speed. Manufacturing doesn't. Yet.
 
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.
 
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.    

About the Role: 

As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Machina Labs, you are our “boots on the ground”, the dedicated technical lead embedded at customer sites to ensure our RoboCraftsman systems perform as designed in real-world manufacturing environments. Embedded on-site, you will support the deployment and operation of RoboCraftsman cells, troubleshoot hardware and software issues, validate system performance, and drive continuous improvements based on real-world production feedback. 

You will serve as the primary interface between the customer and Machina’s engineering teams, translating real-world production challenges into actionable feedback for our Product, Hardware, Software, and Process Engineering groups, and bringing solutions back to the factory floor. 

The role begins with immersive training at Machina Labs HQ, where you will master our RoboForming process, the RoboCraftsman platform, and our internal software stack alongside our Engineering and Production teams. Following training, you will transition to a long-term on-site assignment supporting a customer deployment in Ohio.
