Technical Project Manager, Intern

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 Technical Project Manager Intern at Machina Labs, you’ll support project management operations and drive communication across technical and business teams in robotics and manufacturing projects. You’ll help manage timelines, track key milestones, support day-to-day coordination, and facilitate the successful execution of cross-functional initiatives. This role is ideal for future leaders who enjoy bringing order to complex technical projects, thrive in multidisciplinary environments, and want to develop practical skills in technical program management supporting our Aerospace and Defense Team.

What You’ll Do

• Assist in organizing project proposals, documentation, milestones, and deliverables for robotics and manufacturing programs.
• Work closely with engineers, product managers, and external partners to clarify project requirements and facilitate communication.
• Support status reporting and progress tracking using modern project management tools (Google Suite, Notion, JIRA, etc.).
• Help resolve blockers, coordinate schedules, and drive accountability on key action items to keep projects moving forward.
• Prepare meeting notes, update trackers, and contribute to presentations for leadership and stakeholders.
• Document best practices and lessons learned throughout the internship for process improvement.

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Engineering, Business, or a related technical/management discipline.
• Expected to complete or have completed final degree within one year of the internship’s end.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable interacting with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proficiency with productivity tools (Google Workspace, Microsoft Office) and basic project management software (Smartsheet, Notion, etc.).
• Self-motivated, highly organized, attentive to detail, and passionate about supporting complex technical projects.
• GPA of 3.0 or above preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in team-based environments (clubs, internships, research, or prior jobs).
• Previous exposure to project or technical management tools, scheduling, and status reporting in engineering or manufacturing fields.
