Technician / Mechanic (gn) @ Stealth Autonomous Vehicle Venture, Valencia

This is a FoodLabs  portfolio venture. Find out more about us and other opportunities in the portfolio here.

About the venture 

This venture was started by two engineers with unique experience - one worked on electric drones and hydrogen planes, and the other worked on advanced AI projects at BMW and Google. We are redesigning tractors to make farming smarter, more efficient and sustainable. Our tractor is simpler, autonomous, and runs on a large battery. It will be able to connect to satellites, act as a hub for smart devices, and even be used in mining or tough logistics jobs.

Were currently a team of five, looking for a technician to join us full-time at our workshop in Valencia, Spain. As the technician, youʼll work directly with the founders to turn ideas and designs into real, working prototypes. Your day-to-day tasks will include manufacturing parts, assembling components, wiring harnesses, and solving problems as they come up. If youʼre someone who enjoys hands-on work, can figure things out on your own, and likes fixing tough problems, this is the role for you.
