About the role
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 Robotics Engineering Intern, you’ll have an opportunity to work as part of a team that designs, develops, and operates robotic systems that enable the next generation of manufacturing automation. You will be working with outside vendors and other team members to define
requirements and put together industrial robotic systems. You'll work with path planning software and strategies for novel manufacturing operations using industrial robotic systems. You will also contribute to integrating tooling and sensors (ATI, Keyence, etc.) and develop closed loop control software to optimize process parameters in real time. A high degree of autonomy, ownership and willingness to learn is required. This role will report into our Software Engineering Vertical. \n
What You'll Do Identify project priorities, software/hardware
requirements and design constraints with team members across multiple disciplines and translate those into minimum viable systems. Take part in design review meetings and provide feedback to team. Design software for path planning and control of robotic end-effectors. Operate robots using your software and enable other team members to efficiently interface with the robots to test and implement new features. Design, implement, and integrate sensors and supporting software / firmware. Rapidly develop prototypes to verify design concepts and constraints, and balance design efforts with short- and long-term objectives. Take part in the software development effort and take charge of the full software development lifecycle.
