The future of defense will be decided by those who field intelligent machines at scale. At Scout AI, 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. This mission will ask everything of us: urgency, precision, and relentless work.

 

The Hardware Team at Scout bridges the gap between traditional machinery and cutting-edge autonomy. We take base vehicles with zero autonomous capability or actuation and turn them into fully functional, validated, production-ready, intelligent platforms. Owning the full hardware lifecycle from concept and prototyping through final product validation.

 

We're hiring a Drone Technician to add bandwidth to that build. You'll spend most of your time assembling drones, building harnesses, and on the integration of mechanical and/or electrical components. 

 

We are looking for a highly motivated team player who is detail oriented and ready to be a part of a rapidly growing team.
