About the role

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 Software Engineer in Test (SET) to own quality, validation, and release execution across our software platform as we develop and deploy new features and services.
This role is responsible for defining quality strategy for the software stack, validating release candidates, and supporting deployments to production. You will build automated testing infrastructure, execute validation of new features, triage software issues, and act as a gatekeeper for software releases. The role partners closely with software engineers and collaborates with robotics and automation engineers when software changes impact production cells.
The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering fundamentals with deep experience in test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and production-grade release processes.
