About This Role

About Machina Labs At Machina Labs, we’re reshaping manufacturing through advanced robotics and machine learning. Our platform uses the largest 6-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. We’re changing that. Whether you’re a startup building a few thousand airframes or an automaker prototyping next-generation components, 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, we’re accelerating the future of manufacturing, one where factories are flexible, production is on-demand, and innovation is unconstrained.   About the Role Machina Labs is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of high-performance, GPU-based simulations that model the physical processes underlying our robotic metal forming platform. This is a deeply technical, high-impact software engineering role, not a research position. You’ll be responsible for designing and implementing custom simulation frameworks, from first principles, to accelerate our ML training loops, optimize process control, and build real-time feedback systems. Your work will sit at the heart of the digital twin that powers our next-gen manufacturing system.
