About Machina Labs
Machina Labs was founded in 2019 to redefine how the world manufactures. Based in Los Angeles, we are pioneering the software-defined factories of the future—where advanced robotics and artificial intelligence replace rigid tooling and enable rapid, flexible production at any scale.
Our mission is simple yet transformative: unlock manufacturing and unconstrained innovation. By developing modular robotic forming systems, we empower industries such as aerospace, automotive, and defense to design, prototype, and produce with unprecedented speed, efficiency, and sustainability.
Backed by leading deep-tech investors, including NVIDIA’s NVentures, Innovation Endeavors, and Lockheed Martin Ventures, Machina Labs is building the first commercial robotic sheet metal forming machines—creating a future where manufacturing is as agile and adaptive as software.
Every day, we work side by side with some of the world’s most innovative organizations to solve their toughest challenges and accelerate the pace of progress. At Machina Labs, we’re not just building robots; we’re reshaping entire industries.
Join us as we bring the factory of the future to life!
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our exciting journey as part of our growing software engineering team. In this position you’ll be responsible for designing and building UIs that bring our robotic systems, real-time data, and simulation tools to life; including 3D visualization and interface prototyping. At your baseline you are a great team player who thrives on ownership, loves creating beautiful and intuitive user experiences, and are excited about working with giant robots.
This is a unique opportunity to combine creativity with deep technical problem-solving in a high-impact role.
What You’ll Do
- Design and develop responsive, performant frontend interfaces using React and TypeScript

- Develop intuitive UI/UX flows for internal and customer-facing tools, using Figma and other prototyping tools
- Collaborate closely with product and backend engineers to design APIs and frontend-backend contracts
- Contribute to code architecture, component libraries, and visual consistency across applications
- Prototype and build 3D visualization components for real-time data and simulation interfaces
- Implement testing strategies to validate UI performance and user experience
- Support CI/CD workflows and frontend deployment processes
- Participate in technical decision-making, team culture, and iterative product improvement
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience building frontend systems, ideally in a fast-paced startup environment
- Strong experience with React (or similar frameworks), TypeScript, and some exposure to Python
- Deep understanding of UI/UX principles and frontend system design
- Experience with Figma, wireframing, and rapid interface prototyping
- Ability to clearly explain your design process and how you validate UI/UX decisions
- Experience collaborating with backend teams and integrating RESTful APIs
- Familiarity with gRPC
- Comfort with frontend observability, performance tuning, and accessibility
- Experience with containerized development environments (e.g., Docker)
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
Nice to Have
- Experience integrating or building 3D visualization components in web applications (e.g., using Three.js, WebGL, or similar)
- Familiarity with cloud-based deployment workflows (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Familiarity with OpenAPI and/or GraphQL
- Familiarity with machine learning and large datasets processing/visualization
- Experience building tools for hardware, robotics, or data visualization
