Job description

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.

About the Role

As a Product Management Intern at Machina Labs, you will take ownership of high-impact projects that advance the future of flexible manufacturing. You'll collaborate across engineering, robotics, and machine learning teams to deliver real solutions for customers, helping make industrial-grade metal forming accessible to all. This role empowers you to develop core product management skills, drive meaningful business outcomes, and contribute directly to Machina Labs’ mission of democratizing manufacturing through innovation.

Product management isn’t taught in most universities, it’s learned by doing. This internship gives you that opportunity. You’ll work closely with our product team and own a meaningful piece of our product from start to finish.This is not a shadow role or a fluff project—you’ll take full ownership of work that matters to our business and our customers.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with internal and external customers to understand their needs.
• Define and design software and hardware solutions that address real user problems.
• Collaborate with engineers to deliver those solutions into production.
• Contribute to product roadmapping meetings and learn how product strategies are developed and maintained.
• Participate in technical planning and sprint management across Robotics, Software, Machine Learning, Automation, and Mechanical Engineering teams.

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing or holding a degree in engineering or a closely related technical field (B.S., M.S., or Ph.D.).
• Expected to complete or have completed final degree within one year of the internship’s end.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly understand technical domains.
• Familiarity with technical concepts in the fields of robotics, AI, or manufacturing systems.
• Interest in business, design, and engineering disciplines. Product sits at the intersection of all three.
• Clear, structured communication skills—able to translate between technical and non-technical audiences.
• Self-motivated and independent. Product managers own broad problem spaces—they research, design, and drive outcomes with limited direction.
