What you'll do
- Support the development, validation, and scaling of manufacturing processes for automotive components and assemblies, including robotic metal forming and related fabrication operations.
- Manage Bills of Materials (BOMs), including translating Engineering BOMs (EBOMs) into Manufacturing BOMs (MBOMs) that support automotive component fabrication, assembly, routing, and material flow.
- Design and develop jigs, fixtures, and tooling for component fabrication, handling, assembly, and integration; use CAD and appropriate engineering analysis to validate designs.
- Develop detailed work instructions, assembly procedures, method sheets, and in-process documentation to ensure repeatability, quality, and process consistency.
- Support production planning activities including job planning, routing development, and scheduling; utilize ERP/MRP systems to manage work orders and coordinate production activities.
- Partner with production and facilities teams to improve automotive manufacturing workflows, work-cell layouts, material flow, and throughput using Lean Manufacturing and 5S principles.
- Estimate manufacturing costs, develop time standards, and recommend tooling or equipment requirements for new or evolving product lines.
- Collaborate with automotive engineering and production teams to assess design for manufacturability (DFM), address fit and integration considerations, and support engineering changes, first article inspections, and process improvements.
- Work directly with technicians and production teams to troubleshoot fabrication, assembly, dimensional, and process issues and improve manufacturing consistency.
- Maintain accurate manufacturing documentation, reporting systems, and operational records to support production and continuous improvement initiatives.
What you need
- Experience working with robotic or automated manufacturing cells, incremental sheet forming, or similar advanced manufacturing technologies.
- Experience supporting automotive component fabrication, prototype-to-production transitions, or integration of fabricated components into larger automotive assemblies.
- Background in precision, low-volume manufacturing, including robotic or automated manufacturing cells, incremental sheet forming, or similar metal forming technologies.
- Additional hands-on experience with automotive fabrication, automotive integration, machining, or general sheet metal fabrication is a plus.

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.
