Fabricator for Maritime Robotics Company – $71-80k – San Diego

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
