Why join us Tractian is the Physical AI for asset-heavy industries, now valued at $1.4B and trusted by more than 2,000 facilities worldwide. We’re taking on the world’s trillion-dollar downtime problem by building the hardware, AI, and software that give frontline workers real control over the machines that run the planet. Manufacturing at Tractian The Manufacturing Engineering Team is the cornerstone of transforming innovation into reality. Made up of skilled professionals with diverse expertise,
the team is dedicated to converting designs into high-quality, functional products. Committed to continuous improvement, we collaborate across multiple departments to ensure efficient processes, enhance R&D capabilities, and work closely with production and design teams to optimize schedules and deliveries. Among the core processes that support our daily operations, machining plays a critical role - enabling everything from rapid prototyping to low-volume production runs. This versatility positions machining as a strategic area for continuous optimization, both internally and in collaboration with our manufacturing partners. Moreover, machining is also essential to the success of injection molding, as it is the primary method used to manufacture high-precision tooling. As a result, the evolution of both processes is naturally interconnected - and their simultaneous development will be key to expanding Tractian’s industrial capabilities and accelerating innovation across our product lines. What you will do As an R&D Machinist, you will play a key role in the manufacture of prototypes and small-batch production of parts associated with the development of new products.

the team to assess project feasibility, understand technical
requirements, and deliver high-quality prototypes as quickly and efficiently as possible. Your
responsibilities will go far beyond machining. You’ll also be expected to engage in a variety of hands-on processes, including welding, component assembly, fixture design, and the ongoing enhancement of both laboratory capabilities and internal workflows. In addition to supporting prototype production, your technical feedback will be vital for improving part designs and increasing the overall quality and reliability of our manufacturing processes.
