Assembly Helper Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

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. 

• Setup, operate, maintain, and support Machina Labs Roboform cells.
• Perform secondary finishing operations including trimming, deburring, grinding, and coating.
• Assemble mechanical frames, sub-assemblies, and complete Roboform cells using released CAD files, assembly drawings, and work instructions.
• Perform HV/LV wiring, cable routing, and electrical enclosure assembly in compliance with IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards.
• Install and connect hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including hose fabrication (1/4"-1"), valves, pumps, manifolds, and actuators.
• Execute structural upfits and modifications (drilling, tapping, cutting, deburring, touch-up finishing).
• Safely rig, lift, and position heavy components (up to 15 tons) using forklifts, cranes, and approved lifting plans.
• Execute functional testing, system integration (including Fanuc/Kuka robot setup), and verification steps to ensure cells meet production specifications.
• Record assembly progress, material usage, and deviations in ERP systems to ensure traceability.
• Contribute improvement feedback and support cross-training as production scales.
• Follow standardized processes, contribute feedback on tooling/workflow improvements, and help train team members as production scales.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 1+ year of fabrication related experience (machining, welding, fitting, etc.)
• 3+ years of hands-on mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic assembly experience.
• Ability to read mechanical drawings, schematics, and understand geometric tolerances.
• Experience with hydraulic/pneumatic systems, assembly, troubleshooting, and hose fabrication.
• Proficiency with common hand and power tools.
• Basic computer proficiency, including ERP systems and common productivity tools.
• Effective communication skills in a team-based production environment.
• Ability to pass background screening requirements (including ITAR compliance).

• Hands-on experience working with industrial robotic and automated systems; Fanuc or Kuka platforms preferred.
• Working knowledge of CAD and PDM systems for accessing and interpreting released design files (e.g., SolidWorks).
• Certified or demonstrated proficiency in IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards for cable and harness assembly.
• Proven ability to safely rig, lift, and position heavy industrial components using cranes, forklifts, or similar equipment.
• Experience performing precision machining and fit-up operations, including drilling, reaming, countersinking, and tapping close-tolerance holes.

• Ability to safely work assigned shifts, including extended hours and occasional weekends, in support of production schedules.
• Capability to perform repetitive tasks involving bending, twisting, and fine motor hand movements while maintaining safe work practices.
• Comfort working in a manufacturing environment with exposure to shop noise, industrial equipment, and common production chemicals (e.g., coolants, solvents, cleaners, paint), using required PPE.
• Ability to stand for extended periods and safely lift, carry, and handle materials or equipment up to 50 lbs. unassisted.
• Ability to safely climb ladders, work in confined spaces, and participate in approved rigging and lifting operations for heavy components.
