Company

hirify.global builds software-defined factories that combine advanced metal forming, robotics, and automated production to manufacture complex metal structures directly from digital designs.

What you will do

• Generate and modify CAD models for the RoboForming robotic incremental sheet metal forming process.
• Convert CAD designs into robot tool paths using the internal software stack and execute them on the Robocraftsman system.
• Analyze forming data and 3D scan results to evaluate part quality and identify improvements.
• Design and execute structured experiments to optimize forming parameters and tool path strategies.
• Collaborate with product managers, hardware and software engineers, manufacturing engineers, and customers to develop tools, workflows, and production-ready components.
• Document processes, results, and analyses to support continuous improvement in aerospace manufacturing.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 0–3 years of manufacturing experience in a robotics or aerospace environment.
• Proficiency in at least one CAD tool, such as SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Fusion 360, or Rhino.
• Familiarity with CAM, tool path generation, or robot programming, plus strong data analysis skills using MATLAB, Python, advanced Excel, or similar tools.
• Ability to work in open-ended problem spaces, make rapid decisions, collaborate across disciplines, and communicate effectively.
• Comfort working hands-on in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with a strong focus on safety and occupational hazard prevention.

Nice to have

• Full-cycle development of a new product or process and experience with Root Cause Corrective Action.
• CAD surface modeling expertise and experience with industrial robots such as FANUC, KUKA, or ABB.
• Knowledge of CNC machining, additive manufacturing, computational geometry, 3D scanning, inspection systems, or metrology tools.

Culture & Benefits
