guys not to mock you or anything but read some wiki for more knowlage about the progress of the game.

Once you defeat the goblin army (which may occur once you smash your first shadow orb and have +200 hp) goblin tinkerer appears in a random location on your map, anywhere underground or dungeon.

Once you find him you just free him via talking to him and he'll be ready to move into your house if you have a suitable room for him. It doesn't matter if he's killed after you free him, no matter what he'll spawn in his room the next day.

Killing bosses isn't relevant with goblin army or goblin tinkerer.

Have a nice day.
