<p>Why Tractable?</p> <p>We combine world-class AI research with real-world applications that make a difference. At Tractable, you'll collaborate with brilliant minds, work on transformative projects, and contribute to technology that helps people when they need it most.</p> <p>About Tractable</p> <p>Tractable's AI products already transform how the automotive and insurance industries assess vehicle damage. We're now taking the leap from pure software into our first hardware platform - a drive-through imaging rig that automatically captures high-fidelity photos and sensor data for instant AI analysis. You'll be part of the founding hardware team turning an early functional prototype into a robust, scalable product that will be deployed at dealerships, collision centres and logistics hubs worldwide.</p> <p>Core responsibilities</p> <ul> <li> <p>Read mechanical drawings, CAD prints and physical samples to understand fit-up requirements</p> </li><li> <p>Fit, tack and finish-weld steel and aluminum components (primarily MIG/GMAW; occasional TIG/GTAW)</p> </li><li> <p>Cut, notch, drill or tap raw profiles as needed; install bolts, latches, hinges and alignment dowels</p> </li><li> <p>Verify critical dimensions (±0.5 mm typical) with calipers, squares and jigs; document deviations</p> </li><li> <p>Proactively collaborate with the design team to shorten build cycles: suggest CAD revisions that reduce weld time or distortion, and design/build simple jigs or fixtures in-house (e.g., tab-and-slot plates, adjustable clamp bars) that make repeat assemblies faster and more accurate</p> </li><li> <p>Maintain a clean, safe work cell; comply with OSHA and AWS D1.1/D1.2 practices</p> </li></ul> <p>Minimum qualifications</p> <ul> <li> <p>3+ years professional welding/fabrication experience</p> </li><li> <p>Proficient in MIG and basic TIG on mild steel and 6061-T6 aluminum</p> </li><li> <p>Able to read GD&T symbols, welding symbols and bills of material</p> </li><li> <p>Comfortable operating band saw, cold saw, angle grinder and drill press</p> </li><li> <p>Able to lift 50 lbs and stand for extended periods</p> </li></ul> <p>Preferred / nice-to-have</p> <ul> <li> <p>Current AWS D1.1 structural-steel or D1.2 aluminum certification</p> </li><li> <p>Experience with jigs/fixtures for small-batch production</p> </li><li> <p>Fork-lift certification, overhead-crane or rigging experience</p> </li><li> <p>Familiarity with lean 5S practices</p> </li></ul> <p>Diversity commitment</p> <p>At Tractable, we are committed to building a diverse team and inclusive workplace where people's varied backgrounds and experiences are valued and recognised.</p> <p>We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and offer equal opportunities without discrimination.</p>
