Smart Manufacturing Associate (Nights-3rd Shift)

From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America's manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don't just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration. Backed by top-tier investors, we're restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy. Our new Shelby Township injection molding facility is being built from the ground up as a smart factory, where people work side by side with collaborative robots (cobots), autonomous forklifts and mobile robots, connected molding machines, and real-time production data. You handle the thinking: keeping the system running, spotting problems before they become scrap, and helping us make the process better every week. If you're the kind of person who takes things apart to see how they work, tinkers with tech in your free time, or always finds a faster way to do a task, this is your entry point into the future of manufacturing. No robotics degree required. Run and Monitor an Automated Production Cell Operate injection molding cells that include molding machines, cobots, and automated material handling, following standard work and safety procedures. Monitor machine and cell status through HMI touchscreens, dashboards, and production software; Coordinate with autonomous forklifts and mobile robots for material delivery and finished-goods movement, and help keep robot traffic paths safe and clear. Own Quality at the Source Inspect molded parts for defects such as flash, short shots, sink, warpage, cracks, and discoloration. Measure parts with calipers, gauges, and digital inspection tools; log results in our digital quality system. Contain non-conforming product and help identify the root cause rather than just sorting parts. Give feedback on automation, software tools, and work instructions to help shape how our factory runs. Handle light assembly, part packaging, counting, and labeling where automation hasn't yet taken over. Record production, downtime, and quality data accurately in digital systems (tablets, scanners, MES). Communicate clearly with your shift team, leads, and engineers during handoffs and when issues arise. Machine Operation & Production Operate injection molding machines under supervision following established procedures. Monitor production to ensure consistent production output. Notify supervisors of machine issues, quality concerns, or material shortages. Quality Control Perform visual inspections of molded parts to identify defects such as flash, cracks, warpage, or discoloration. Separate non-conforming parts and follow quality control guidelines. Measure parts using standard measurements tools such as calipers or custom gauges. Light Assembly & Packaging Perform light assembly work of molded components as required. Package finished parts accurately, including counting, labeling, and preparing for storage or shipment. Perform routine housekeeping duties throughout the shift. Follow all safety procedures and wear required personal protective equipment (PPE). Complete basic production and inspection documentation. Communicate effectively with supervisors and team members regarding production activities. Curious about technology and how things work, whether that's robots, computers, cars, 3D printers, or gaming PCs. Comfortable using touchscreens, tablets, apps, and basic software, and quick to pick up new systems. High school diploma or GED. Basic computer literacy and comfort with digital tools. Ability to read and follow written and visual work instructions. Reliable attendance and willingness to work assigned shifts. Experience in manufacturing, production, warehouse, or another hands-on technical environment. Exposure to robotics, automation, PLCs, CNC, 3D printing, or injection molding through work, school, or personal projects. Coursework or certification in advanced manufacturing, mechatronics, robotics, or a related field (e.g., community college, trade school, FANUC/Universal Robots training, FIRST Robotics). Mechanical aptitude, such as working on cars, bikes, electronics, or equipment. Pay Range: $25 – $27 per hour, based on experience and skills
