Success requires us to grow quickly, and we’re looking for teammates who are passionate about solving hard problems, about pushing the envelope, and about preventing conflict and saving lives. Ambition is welcome to apply within. About the Role We are seeking a highly capable Mechanical Technician (Prototyping) to help bring next-generation autonomous systems to life.

Whether through professional experience or personal projects, you know how to build durable, functional hardware. The Generalist You are comfortable working across tools, materials, and techniques. You don’t need everything defined upfront—you figure it out and move forward. The Operator You thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and timelines are aggressive. You are motivated by seeing hardware go from concept to test in days or weeks - not months. Qualifications Experience with fabrication, assembly, or mechanical prototyping Hands-on experience with tools such as 3D printers, CNC machines, or similar equipment Strong mechanical intuition and problem-solving ability Ability to work closely with engineers and interpret technical drawings or models Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative development environment Preferred Experience Experience with composite materials (e.g., carbon fiber) Background in aerospace, robotics, automotive, or similar hardware-focused fields Experience supporting prototype builds or experimental hardware programs Familiarity with designing for manufacturability and durability What Success Looks Like Rapidly build and iterate on prototype systems that are ready for testing Contribute to shorter development cycles and faster validation of new concepts Deliver high-quality hardware that performs reliably in real-world environments Become a trusted partner to engineering teams in bringing new systems to life Location Note This role is based in San Diego, CA, with occasional travel to Long Beach, CA to support prototyping, integration, and testing efforts as needed. Benefits: 100% Employer paid Health, Dental and Vision Insurance for you and your families Life Insurance (Employer Paid) Ability to participate in the companies 401k program (Matching) Unlimited PTO policy with an enforced 2 week minimum Equity Package Work / Home Office Stipend Global Entry 16 Week Paid Parental Leave Monthly Health and Wellness Stipend Our Values: Innovation: We are driven to break new ground.

We embrace change and anticipate the challenges of tomorrow with confidence and creativity. Ownership of All Tasks: At HavocAI, no problem is too complex or too trivial. We believe that greatness comes from tackling the hardest challenges, but also in handling the smallest, sometimes thankless, tasks with the same level of commitment and care. Servant Leadership: We lead by serving others, whether it’s supporting our employees, partners, or the broader community. Empowering those around us is key to achieving long-term success and making a lasting impact. HavocAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace.
