Engineering 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 operations (6), hardware and science (5), 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 own whole parts of the product rather than one service inside a large system. Expect to write the code, deploy it, and get paged when it breaks. Reviews are quick and the codebase is small, so a decision made on Tuesday can ship on Thursday.
