Saildrone boat builder job description
About Us
At Saildrone, we sustainably explore, map, and monitor the oceans to understand, preserve, and protect our world. Saildrone provides real-time access to critical data from any ocean on earth, 24/7/365, and uses proprietary software applications to transform that data into actionable insights and intelligence. Saildrone's fleet of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), powered by renewable wind and solar power, have a minimal carbon footprint and operate 24/7/365, without the need for a crewed support vehicle. We work with governments, civil agencies, foundations, universities, and private companies around the globe to drive better information about our oceans and seas-from sailing drones into the eye of a Category 4 hurricane to obtain new scientific storm data, mapping the ocean floor, collecting new CO2 data in hard-to-reach areas, counting biomass to establish fishing quotas, or detecting and stopping illegal fishing and drug trafficking. As a result of our work, we have been included on Fast Company's annual list of the "World's Most Innovative Companies for 2022" and earned the 2022 Ocean Awards' Innovation Award, presented by the Blue Marine Foundation. Saildrone's hurricane mission was included as one of the New York Times "Top 21 Things that happened (for the first time) in 2021", and Popular Science's "100 Greatest Innovations of 2021".
We are based in Alameda, CA, with offices in Washington DC, St. Petersburg, FL, and Fall River, MA, and operate our missions worldwide. We are backed by top-tier investors in the frontier-tech and sustainability sectors, including Social Capital, Capricorn, Lux Capital, BOND Capital, and Emerson Collective.
This is an exciting opportunity with a fast-growing team at the cutting-edge intersection of big data services and autonomous hardware. You will be an integral part of a high-performing multi-disciplinary delivering high impact for humanity and future generations.
The Role
Working as part of our Production and R&D team, you will use your demonstrated skills and experience in Composite Boat Building to build uncrewed surface vehicles. You will join the team working from our well-equipped facilities in Alameda, California.
Required Skills Include:
* Pre-Preg, Infusion, and Wet Lamination techniques
* Vacuum Bagging
* Proficiency in Moldmaking and Toolmaking
* Competence in mixing and use of Epoxy resins, fairing compounds, and industry standard paints.
* Ability to read, interpret and understand technical drawings
Desired Skills:
* CAD/CAM familiarity
* CNC Machine Operations (Hotwire, Plotter/Cutter, Waterjet)
* Machining and proprietary component manufacture
* Welding MIG/TIG
Location: This position is in Alameda, CA. Only candidates with proper permits to work in the United States can be considered. Our waterfront office offers beautiful views of San Francisco Bay in always sunny Alameda. Even our walls have good karma, our offices mix software development with a hardware production line in the former airplane hangar used to film 'The Matrix'.
Benefits:
* Medical, dental and vision plans for you and your dependents.
* Short and relaxing ferry ride from the Ferry Building for SF residents
* Enhanced Parental Leave Programs
* Competitive benefits including excellent medical, life insurance, 401k plan
