Description
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 Role We’re hiring a Field Service Representative to support the deployment, sustainment, and operational readiness of Scout’s autonomous systems in the field.

You will act as the front-line expert for Scout’s platforms, owning system performance in real-world environments and ensuring issues are diagnosed and resolved quickly. This role requires deep hands-on technical ability across hardware and software, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to operate independently in dynamic and often austere environments.
You will deploy with customer teams and internal operations personnel, providing on-site support, maintenance, and technical guidance. Your work directly ensures mission readiness, system reliability, and successful customer adoption.
