Robot Technician

The future of defense will be decided by those who field intelligent machines at scale. At Scout, we’re developing Fury — the first robotic foundation model for defense — to give U.S. forces overwhelming, adaptable, and autonomous power across every domain. Fury enables human operators to command fleets of robots through natural language, and empowers those machines to sense, decide, and act together as one. It’s not just a leap in autonomy, it’s a force multiplier built for real-world conflict. This mission will ask everything of us: urgency, precision, and relentless work. The Role We’re hiring a Robot Technician to support the development, testing, and deployment of our Fury vision-language-action models onto autonomous vehicles across land, air, sea, and space. You will keep our robotic platforms operational, field-ready, and running Fury. This is a hands-on, high-tempo role with direct impact on the most advanced robotic systems in defense. You’ll play a critical part in closing the loop between hardware, AI, and real-world execution. We’re a startup. You’ll be moving fast, context-switching daily, and helping define the culture and process as we go. This is a rare opportunity to come in early and architect the future of defense.
