We're building the factories of tomorrow right now in Los Angeles. At Machina Labs, our AI-powered robotic systems are redefining how sheet metal parts get made, and we're looking for sharp engineers who want to shape both the product and the company from the ground up.
Role at a glance
We are hiring a full-time Automation Systems Engineer at the mid-level to join our on-site team in the United States. You will design, integrate, and operate advanced robotic manufacturing cells that combine industrial robotics, sensors, and custom control systems.
Your impact
- Architect, write, and maintain structured, reusable PLC code that runs high-volume manufacturing cells while ensuring safety systems and fieldbus networks stay reliable.
- Specify, purchase, install, and integrate industrial robot arms, end-effectors, sensors, and electrical hardware, then develop the custom application code that makes new processes possible.
- Create test plans, troubleshoot control hardware and software issues, and produce clear documentation so every cell we ship is production-ready and easy to support.
What you'll need
A bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or computer science plus at least two years of hands-on industrial robotics programming and integration experience. You should be comfortable writing PLC logic, working with structured text, and using at least one additional language such as Python or C++. Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills, experience in fast-paced manufacturing environments, and the ability to deliver complex projects with minimal oversight are essential. Excellent written and verbal communication will help you collaborate across our growing team and with outside vendors.
Perks and compensation
We offer a salary range of $110,000 - $145,000 annually plus equity. Machina Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
