Robotics Automation Engineer in Test

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 Robotics Automation Engineer in Test to own quality, validation, and release execution across our robotics and industrial automation software stack as we deploy and scale production cells. This role is responsible for defining and enforcing quality strategy for robotics and automation systems, validating release candidates, and supporting deployments to production cells. You will work hands-on with physical systems, running tests and experiments on cells, supporting issue triage, and acting as a gatekeeper for production releases. This position operates closely with robotics, controls, and software teams and has the authority to approve the transition from release candidate to official release. The ideal candidate combines strong robotics and automation engineering fundamentals with a disciplined approach to testing, validation, and production readiness in hardware-integrated environments.
