We’re a San Diego-based maritime robotics company building autonomous surface vehicles that operate at sea for months at a time. We're looking for a skilled fabricator who takes pride in precise, reliable workmanship and can keep pace with our fast-moving production environment.
You'll be building parts of our autonomous surface vessels – the structures, mounts, frames, and custom assemblies that keep our systems operating in some of the harshest ocean environments on the planet. Quality and craftsmanship are critical here; our customers depend on these vehicles to complete high-value missions far from shore.
What You’ll Actually Do:
- Fabricate parts and assemblies using welding (MIG and TIG), cutting, drilling, and forming as needed
- Build jigs and fixtures to support repeatable, accurate production runs
- Perform in-process checks and final inspection to verify dimensions and weld quality
- Flag design issues or manufacturability concerns early and communicate them to engineering
- Keep the shop organized, tooling maintained, and the workspace safe
What We’re Looking For:
- A skilled welder, proficient in both MIG and TIG, with experience on aluminum and stainless steel
- Comfortable with a broad range of fabrication tasks: cutting, drilling, grinding, forming, and finishing
- Ability to read engineering drawings and work from CAD references to produce accurate parts
- Experience with milling machine and lathe
- Experience building jigs, fixtures, and selecting tooling to support production
- High level of ownership and pride in work
- Comfortable working fast with accuracy
Compensation & Perks
- $71,000-$80,000 depending on experience
- Stock options
- 401k matching (up to 4%)
- 99% employer-covered Gold HMO option
- Four free lunches per week
