Robotics Process Engineer Intern - Research and Development at MachinaLabs – Chatsworth, California

At Machina Labs, were reshaping manufacturing through advanced robotics and machine learning. Our platform uses the largest 7-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 defense prime building a few thousand airframes or an automaker building next-generation panels, 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.

Machina Labs is seeking a Robotics Process Engineer Intern to support the research and development of RoboForming, our robotic incremental sheet metal forming technology.

This role focuses on advancing robotic manufacturing processes through experimentation, CAD development, robotic tool path generation, and data analysis. Interns will work closely with engineers and researchers to explore new forming strategies, evaluate process performance, and contribute to the development of next-generation robotic manufacturing capabilities.

This is a hands-on research and development role within a highly collaborative engineering environment. You will work with cutting-edge robotic systems and internal software tools to convert digital designs into robotic action, analyze forming and scan data, and iterate on process strategies using real-world engineering feedback.

This role reports into our Research and Development Team.
