Job Description

 The software team at Machina Labs is working to expose our disruptive robotic manufacturing process to designers, engineers, and business users across sectors like aerospace, heavy industry, and automotive. Critical parts of planes, cars, rockets, and more that currently take months to manufacture today can be made in hours within the Machina Labs Dev Suite.

As a software engineer, you’ll own applications that put powerful and intuitive interfaces over our robotic manufacturing cells – these interfaces allow users to perform AI-assisted design tasks, request new designs from robots, and report on the manufacturing process using a variety of sensing technology designed in house.

You’ll work alongside other software engineers, roboticists, mechanical engineers, and material scientists to advance our mission to un-constrain innovation in manufacturing. Our HQ in Los Angeles sits above our factory floor where we’re both designing systems and serving customers like NASA, Yamaha, and the U.S. Airforce. 

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end software experiences used by customer engineers and customer business users, as well as internal customers like factory technicians and process engineers.
• Deploy high-quality, observable software across web apps, command line developer tools, and apps running on robotic cells.
• Work with subject matter experts at the company to integrate and deploy machine learning models, physical simulations, optimization solvers, and advanced visualization tools.
• Mentor engineers earlier in their technical careers to increase the skills an output of your team.
• Develop plans to achieve short- and long-term roadmap goals, balancing new customer-facing capabilities with tech debt and stability initiatives.

Who You Are

• A systems thinker who can design and communicate plans for complex software.
• Strong fundamentals in algorithm and data structures problems in your domain, as well as an ability to pick up the basics of Machina-specific topics like 3D geometry manipulation.
• An advocate for developer experience and productivity via strong tool choices, repo health, team habits, and infrastructure design.
• Ability to articulate and decide on tradeoffs around scope, business value, and user experience within a significant product area.

Preferred Qualifications

• 4+ years software development experience across a mix of client and server apps
• Prior experience or knowledge in software environments with high infosec demands.
