We are looking for an experienced technician to lead the fabrication of a custom fiberglass and carbon fiber structure. This is a hands-on role for someone who can design and build molds from scratch, shape materials by hand, and deliver a high-quality, durable exterior suitable for a working prototype. We value real work experience, a strong portfolio of work and a positive reputation/referrals from previous work experiences over resumes and certificates.

• Ensure structural integrity, durability, and visual quality of the final product.
• Perform final fastening with adhesives and mechanical fasteners of the structure
• Collaborate with our engineering team on fit, tolerances, and integration points.

• Proven experience in fiberglass and carbon fiber fabrication (portfolio or examples and strong recommendations required).
• Strong knowledge of mold-making methods, composite materials, and layup techniques.
• Skilled in hand tools, vacuum bagging, and manual fabrication (CNC experience is a plus)
• Ability to work independently and deliver on a tight timeline onsite.
• Detail-oriented and capable of producing a professional-grade finish.
• Easy to work with
• Connected with the right shops in the Bay Area to outsource any parts we cannot do in-house
