Machine Production Technician

About Machina Labs

At Machina Labs, we’re 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. We’re changing that. Whether you’re 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, we’re accelerating the future of manufacturing, one where factories are flexible, production is on‑demand, and innovation is unconstrained.

Machina Labs is seeking a Machine Production Technician to support the serial production of Roboform, our robotic sheet‑metal forming systems.

This hands‑on role focuses on executing precision assembly work in a structured production environment, following standardized processes to meet safety, quality, and delivery targets. Production Technicians work closely with production leads and engineering to maintain throughput, traceability, and continuous improvement as production scales.

• 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.
• Record assembly progress, material usage, and deviations in ERP systems to ensure traceability.
• Contribute improvement feedback and support cross‑training as production scales.
• Follow standardized processes, contribute feedback on tooling/workflow improvements, and help train team members as production scales.

• 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.
• Ability to pass background screening requirements (including ITAR compliance).

• Hands‑on experience working with industrial robotic and automated systems;
  Fanuc or Kuka platforms preferred.
• Working knowledge of CAD and PDM systems for accessing and interpreting released design files (e.g., Solid Works).
• Certified or demonstrated proficiency in IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 standards for cable and harness assembly.
• Proven ability to safely rig, lift, and position heavy industrial components using cranes, forklifts, or similar equipment.
