Robotic Process Engineer, Intern

About Machina Labs

At Machina Labs, were 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. Were changing that. Whether youre 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, were accelerating the future of manufacturing, one where factories are flexible, production is on-demand, and innovation is unconstrained.

The Role

As a Robotics Process Engineer Intern at Machina Labs, you will help enable RoboForming, our robotic incremental sheet metal forming process, by supporting CAD manipulation, robot tool path generation, process optimization, and data analysis. You will work with cutting-edge systems and internal tools to convert digital designs into robotic action, analyze forming and scan data, and help iterate on process strategies using real-world engineering feedback. This role is hands-on, highly collaborative, and ideal for individuals interested in digital tooling, advanced robotics, and manufacturing automation. This role will report into our Federal Aerospace & Defense Vertical.

What You'll Do

• Assist in generating and modifying CAD models for compatibility with RoboForming processes.
• Support the conversion of CAD designs into robot tool paths using our internal software stack.
• Analyze process data and 3D scan results to assess part quality, suggest improvements, and document findings.
• Design and execute experiments (DOE) aimed at optimizing forming techniques and tool path strategies.
• Work closely with product managers, engineers, and team members to improve process workflows, and participate in technical discussions to support project goals.
• Operate autonomously, make informed decisions, and refine approaches based on real-world feedback under mentorship from experienced engineers.
• Document processes, results, and analyses to support ongoing improvement efforts.
