About the role

  • As a Robotics Process Engineer Intern at Machina Labs, you will help enable RoboForming, our robotic incremental sheet metal forming process, by supporting CAD manipulation, robot tool path generation, process optimization, and data analysis.
  • This role is hands-on, highly collaborative, and ideal for individuals interested in digital tooling, advanced robotics, and manufacturing automation.
  • This role will report into our Federal Aerospace & Defense Vertical.

Responsibilities

  • Support the conversion of CAD designs into robot tool paths using our internal software stack.
  • Analyze process data and 3D scan results to assess part quality, suggest improvements, and document findings.
  • Design and execute experiments (DOE) aimed at optimizing forming techniques and tool path strategies.
  • Work closely with product managers, engineers, and team members to improve process workflows, and participate in technical discussions to support project goals.
  • Document processes, results, and analyses to support ongoing improvement efforts.

Requirements

  • Actively pursuing a Bachelor's or advanced degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • Expected to complete or have completed final degree within one year of the internship's end.
  • Some experience in a manufacturing, robotics, or prototyping environment (internships, research projects, or coursework welcome).
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino) through academic projects or prior work.
  • Familiarity or coursework in CAM, tool path generation, or basic robot programming.
  • Attention to detail, ability to follow instructions, and commitment to safety.

Nice to have

  • Experience in surface modeling via CAD coursework or projects.
  • Exposure to industrial robots (FANUC, KUKA, ABB, etc.) from labs or classes.
  • Familiarity with 3D scanning or inspection tools.
  • Experience with Python scripting, automation tools, or coding basics.
  • Exposure to CNC machining, additive manufacturing, or digital manufacturing coursework.
  • Experience working in a production or team environment.
  • Understanding of safety, especially in engineering labs or manufacturing facilities.
