Electrical Engineer

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.   

Job Description:

Machina Labs is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to serve as both individual contributor and technical lead for the electrical systems behind our robotic manufacturing platforms. 

You will own electrical design across the production cell and the platforms that follow, along with the architecture, standards, interfaces, and supplier relationships those machines depend on. You will make consequential calls on cost, schedule, compliance, and production readiness, lead technical engagement with suppliers, certification bodies, and customers, and set the bar for electrical work across Mechanical, Robotics, Automation, and Manufacturing. 

The ideal candidate has led the electrical design of industrial machinery, robotics, CNC, or automation equipment across more than one machine or program, has taken machinery through compliance, and still wants to be hands-on while we grow the team. 

What you will own:

Electrical architecture across platforms:

• Own electrical design across the production cell and future platforms, including the electrical record: schematics, interconnect diagrams, panel layouts, and harness drawings, released and revision-controlled in PDM. 

• Set the electrical architecture and documentation approach that can be reused across platforms. 

• Define and govern interfaces between robot controllers, PLC panels, end effectors, and instrumentation under change control, and make the architecture, protection, and interface calls that affect cost, schedule, and production readiness. 

• Perform, document, and set the practice for power distribution, grounding and bonding, and signal integrity analysis for 480VAC and 24VDC systems, drives, sensors, and I/O. 

• Partner with the controls and software team, who own PLC and robot programming, on I/O, safety logic, and industrial network architecture.
