Prototype Machinist / Machine Shop Lead
Role: Prototype Machinist / Machine Shop Lead (Full-Time)
Location: San Diego, CA (On-site)
We are comma.ai. We’re a small team building the Android of self-driving cars – our fleet drives hundreds of millions of miles every year all around the world. We build openpilot, an open-source driving agent. And we build the comma four, the hardware that runs openpilot. openpilot and our hardware are designed and made right here in San Diego.
We’re looking for someone to join our hardware team to run our new machine shop and lead prototype manufacturing. You’ll lead prototyping manufacturing for all our products, from comma four-style products to our new datacenter products.
We're building SendCutSend at home. The shop has a Haas VF2, lathe, 3D printers, and a budget for any other tools we'll need to bring prototyping fully in-house. You'll own parts from CAD to finished prototype: CAM, setup, fixturing, machining, inspection, and iteration with the hardware team. You'll build prototypes for all future comma products, from comma four to the exabox.

Perks
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
