About Chip

Chip is the first mass-market American robot. He just happens to be your car.

Chip is building a new category of vehicle. Most cars are engineered for highway
speeds and long-distance range. The reality is that 60% of daily trips are under
6 miles. Chip is built for those trips: fully electric, street-legal on roads up
to 35 mph, 100+ mile range, and made to fit the way people actually move through
their neighborhoods.

We're also launching Chip Go!, a remote-driving service that keeps your
vehicle moving when you're not inside it. Say the word and he'll go off to park
himself, run an errand, get cleaned, or come get you and the family. Rolling out
regionally.

We launched publicly in July 2026 and reservations are open nationally.

The role

You shoot everything. The bar here is entertaining, not pretty. We're not making
car commercials. Beautiful footage that nobody watches is worth nothing to us,
and we'd take funny and rough over gorgeous and boring every time.

Chip will be on the road for activations and events, locally and across the
country, and almost everything we put out comes from footage of the vehicle in
the world. You'll be with the vehicle or editing content, and not much in
between. When Chip travels, you travel.

The range is wide on purpose. Some days are scripted and controlled, with a shot
list and a crew. Some days are you, a driver, and Chip meeting people on the
street. You need to be good at both, and comfortable switching between them.

You work closely with our social team, who own the strategy, the calendar, and
the distribution, and brief you on what we need. You own capture, media
management, and editing, which includes keeping the footage from turning into
chaos. You'll be based in Los Angeles or Miami.

What you'll do Shoot
  • Shoot vertical and horizontal. Short-form and long-form, often the same momentcut both ways.
  • Handle scripted and controlled shoots. Shot lists, lighting, framing, and repeatable coverage.
  • Handle live and unscripted work. Events, activations, man-on-the-street,founder content, and whatever happens when the vehicle is out in public.
  • Shoot the car well. Rolling and tracking shots, mounts, gimbal work,interiors, and knowing what makes a vehicle look good on camera.
  • Capture usable audio in bad conditions. Wireless lavs, wind, road noise, andin-cabin dialogue. Chip talks, so dialogue has to be clean.
  • Direct people who aren't actors. Team members, customers, and strangers,quickly and naturally.
Manage the footage
  • Run ingest, backup, and redundancy on the road. Nothing exists in one place,ever.
  • Wrangle every source. Your own camera, the vehicle's onboard cameras, phones,drones, and partner-supplied media.
  • Sync and match multi-camera, multi-source footage. Including color matchingacross sources that were never meant to cut together.
  • Run our media library in Shade, our system of record for footage. Everything we shoot lands there, gets tagged, and stays findable.
  • Keep the library clean. Naming conventions, folder structure, proxies, and metadata, tidy enough that someone else can find a shot from four months agoin a minute.
  • Own the archive. What we keep, where it lives, and how we get it back.
  • Track rights and releases. Anything with a person in it needs one, and we needto know where it is.
Edit
  • Cut short-form. Real instincts for pacing, hooks, and what makes someone stopscrolling in the first two seconds.
  • Cut long-form. Real structure, and a story that holds.
  • Finish the piece. Titles, captions, basic motion graphics, sound design, andmusic selection.
  • Turn things around fast. Some cuts go out the same day, from a hotel room.
  • Take notes without ego. Iterate, and don't fall in love with your first cut.
What you'll need
  • Two or more years shooting and editing professionally, with a reel that showsboth short-form and long-form.
  • Instincts for what's entertaining. Timing, humor, and knowing what makessomeone keep watching past the first two seconds. A good eye matters, but thismatters more, and it's the thing we can't teach.
  • Strong editor. Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or Cap Cut, and fluentenough in at least one to work fast.
  • Ahead of us on AI content tools. Transcription and clipping, upscaling andcleanup, generative fill and extend, captioning, and AI-powered search. Youalready use what helps, you know what still falls apart, and you try new oneswithout being told to.
  • Disciplined about media management. You've got a system and you follow it evenwhen you're tired at 1 a.m. after an event.
  • Comfortable with multi-camera and multi-source workflows.
  • Solid audio fundamentals.
  • Flexible across formats and settings. Scripted one day, run-and-gun the next.
  • Willing to travel with the vehicle. Frequent trips, some multi-day, sometimeson short notice.
  • Based in Los Angeles or Miami, or willing to relocate.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • Able to lift and carry gear and work outdoors for long stretches, in summerheat and on festival grounds.
Bonus points
  • Comedy, creator-led, or entertainment content background.
  • Automotive, motor sport, or car…
