Machinist
TAR•Odessa, TX

About The Position
We build robots, and robots need parts fast. This is a “shop tech manager” role. You'll run the shop (band saw, fork lift etc), turning CAD files into metal, sometimes same-day. Less production work, more "the team needs this bracket by Thursday." You'll be onsite at our test facility in West Texas assisting the team when they're testing, and preparing for testing in between field tests.

- Comfortable with CAM programming and basic G-code edits

- Operate CNC and manual machining equipment: lathe, bandsaw, drill press, grinders
- Run our digital fabrication tools: 3D printers, laser cutter, waterjet
- Use general shop and fabrication equipment as needed
