TacJobs – Local Motors

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Agreed, this doesn’t sound like your typical TacJobs posting, but then again, Local Motors isn’t your typical company. They are a TacHackers dream come true. They specialize in custom kit builds of Fighter class rally cars. Additionally, Local Motors is the company that was chosen to crowd source a future combat vehicle concept for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency called Flypmode (XC2V).

They currently have 10 openings for qualified applicants. These aren’t your typical sales jobs. Local Motors is seeking forward looking types who are great at what they do, whether technologist, engineer, logistician, or automotive professional. Check out what Local Motors has to say about their ideal candidates:

Are you positive, supportive and inspiring to others?
Do you get things done? Are you independent, and yet take direction well?
Are you passionate enough to work at a start-up?
Do you want to be a part of changing our world in a meaningful way?

You may be a recent graduate with relevant school projects or endless hours of relevant tinkering behind you. You may have a couple of years experience under your belt developing slick user interfaces. Either way, you are both talented and organized.

Their current openings are at www.local-motors.com/about/careers/technology/.

Spike’s Tactical Rally Fighter Walkaround

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

We are big fans of Local Motors and their Rally Fighter kit car. It turns out that Spike’s Tactical is an even bigger fan. They went out and built a custom version of the Rally Fighter for themselves. Photographer John J Irvin captured this walk around of Spike’s creation.

Local Motors on the Rally Fighter:

The Rally Fighter is a premium, authentic off-road experience. It is capable of racing the deserts of the American Southwest and handle the city streets. But build in an extra 10 minutes on your commute to answer questions, it’s a head-turner!

The Rally Fighter is the first vehicle by Local Motors and will be built with the our customer in Phoenix, Arizona.
