Job Description

Job Description

We are helping an on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing company hire a Model Maker to support the development of rapid prototypes and first-article builds that advance autonomous mobility.

In this role, you’ll support highly dynamic prototyping projects by partnering closely with both internal stakeholders and fellow prototyping team members to enable rapid vehicle development and iteration. You’ll contribute hands-on fabrication support across a variety of prototyping disciplines, including metalworking, composites, additive manufacturing, and CNC operations.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder with a strong customer-service mindset, solid fabrication fundamentals, and a desire to continuously learn and expand their technical capabilities.

As a Model Maker, you'll:
  • Support the rapid fabrication and iteration of prototype parts and assemblies for vehicle development projects.
  • Collaborate with prototyping teammates and internal clients to understand project requirements, timelines, and risks.
  • Prioritize and complete work in a fast-paced prototyping environment while maintaining high-quality standards.
  • Communicate project updates, fabrication constraints, and timing expectations clearly and professionally.
  • Operate and support fabrication equipment and processes, including CNC machinery, metalworking tools, and additive manufacturing systems.
  • Perform fabrication and finishing tasks such as deburring, hand-tool work, assembly, and fitment adjustments.
  • Support prototyping activities across disciplines including sheet metal fabrication, machining, welding, composites, and 3D printing.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-focused shop environment.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of experience as a model maker or fabricator
  • Basic ability to use CAD tools such as Solidworks and to read and understand blueprints/engineering drawings
  • Ability to communicate and evaluate a design for fabrication
  • Excellent customer-service mindset

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience with documentation tools like Jira, Confluence
  • Experience with advanced CAD tools like CATIA and design concepts like GD&T MIG and TIG welding experience
