Hardware & Science Jobs at Scout AI

Scout AI builds foundation models for defense robotics. The company is developing a vision-language-action (VLA) model, called Fury, that takes real-time camera data and text prompts as inputs and outputs robot actions. Fury is designed as a foundation model for multi-domain defense, enabling humans to command robots through natural language (voice, text, or map-based inputs) and allowing robots to communicate with each other in natural language for swarm coordination. The model operates in real time in communications- and GPS-denied environments without relying on external connectivity or cloud infrastructure, and is intended for generalized decision-making across diverse platforms and missions.

Scout AI is also hiring in engineering (11), operations (6), data and AI (4), sales and business development (2), field and trades (1) and finance and legal (1).

Its roles are in Sunnyvale, CA, US (22), Paso Robles, CA, US (8) and remote (4).

You are often the first person to build, test or fix the thing. Lab and field work sit side by side, and results feed straight back into the design. A large employer would give you one instrument and one protocol, and an early startup gives you the whole bench.
